The Science
During the digestive process, the body produces enzymes to break down nutrients into molecules small enough for the body to absorb and use for metabolism of energy, growth and cell repair. The bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract also plays a role in digestion and nutrient absorption.

The body needs adequate amounts of digestive enzymes to break down food. Digestive enzyme production naturally declines with age, but factors such as the standard Western diet also exert an influence. Insufficient supplies can slow down the digestive process, causing food to remain undigested or partially digested in the stomach. Inefficient or slower digestion can cause abdominal discomfort and occasional constipation, due to the gas produced when bacteria ferment undigested carbohydrates in the colon. Slow digestion can also cause reduced nutrient absorption. However, digestive enzyme supplements offer support without impacting natural production.*

Critical Digestion™ delivers maximum-potency enzymes to break down the nutrients in a typical meal.
