Source Naturals Daily Essential Enzymes®

Essential Enzymes® is a marvelous enzyme support supplement that promotes digestive health.* How does it work? By providing your body with a comprehensive blend of enzymes that helps with the breakdown of multiple food groups.* Research shows that the secretion of enzymes (hydrochloric acid, bile, and pancreatic enzymes) declines as we age. Throw in the typical busy schedule of today’s modern adult, where meals are rushed and ‘on the go,’ and you’ve got yourself a problem (digestively speaking)! Improper digestion can leave you dealing with things like bloating, diarrhea, constipation, belly aches, acid reflux, and poor weight management. An enzyme supplement can be helpful for easing some of that digestive discomfort and helping your body get more from what you eat.* Essential Enzymes® offers support in the following ways:




  • Protein: Protease enzymes (from the vegetal analog of pancreatin and acid-stable protease) help break down proteins.* From there, your body gets the ‘building block’ amino acids it uses to maintain optimal health. Protein-digesting enzymes also help encourage a stable pH.*


  • Fats: Lipase helps your body absorb fats, leading to healthy digestion, nutrient utilization, and support for healthy weight management.*


  • Carbohydrates: Amyloglucosidase (AMG) and alpha-Amylase help your body break carbs (starchy vegetables) into simple sugars.* When absorbed into the bloodstream, these nutrients can be converted into energy.


  • Fiber: Cellulase & hemicellulase are groups of enzymes used for breaking down cellulose from cell walls, helping support healthy carbohydrate metabolism and healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range!*


  • Milk sugar: Lactase is helpful in the breaking down of milk sugars found in milk, cream, or yogurt.* This way, you can put the natural sweetness in your favorite dairy product to good use — it becomes energy!


Essential Enzymes® is a perfect choice for anyone who wants to optimize digestion from the foods they eat because of how it uniquely helps break down a variety of food groups — while promoting nutrient absorption.* So, the next time you’re rushing off to work with a protein bar in hand, consider what you can do to help that protein bar work a little harder for you. Getting nutrients from your food can feel a whole lot easier with the right enzyme support.* Just be sure to take it at the right time (see below for instructions). The timing is just as important as taking it in the first place!

FAQs About Source Naturals Daily Essential Enzymes® Capsules

Q: What does this enzyme formula help with? A: It’s meant to help break down different parts of a meal. It has enzymes for protein, fats, carbs, fiber, and milk sugar, so people usually take it for heaviness, bloating, or that too-full feeling after eating.

Q: How do I take it? A: Take 1 capsule with water at the start of each meal. You can also open the capsule and sprinkle it on food, just not hot food. Don’t take more than 6 capsules in a day.

Q: Does this have anything in it for dairy digestion? A: Yes. It has lactase for milk sugar. Each capsule provides 40 ALU, so if dairy is your main issue, that may help some people, but others may need a stronger standalone lactase.

Q: Why does it list so many different enzymes? A: Because different foods need different enzymes to break down. This one has a 500 mg blend with protease and a plant-based pancreatin alternative for protein, lipase at 375 FIP for fats, alpha-amylase at 630 DU for carbs, plus cellulase and hemicellulase for fiber.

Q: Should I take this on an empty stomach or only with food? A: Take it with food. These are digestive enzymes, so they’re most useful when taken with the meal you’re eating.

Q: My doctor said to be careful with supplements. Any concerns with this one? A: Yes. If you're pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition, talk to your doctor before starting it. I’d also be extra careful if you have ulcers, gastritis, or a very sensitive stomach.

Q: Is this vegetarian? A: It looks like it is. The capsule is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and the formula uses a plant-based pancreatin alternative instead of animal pancreatin.
