Summary
New Roots Herbal Plant-Based Digestive Enzymes provides a comprehensive blend of digestive enzymes designed to support the breakdown and digestion of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, sugars, grains, and fibres.
Unlike pancreatic enzymes that require alkaline conditions, plant-based enzymes remain active in the acidic environment of the stomach and continue working throughout digestion. This allows the formula to support digestion before, during, and after meals.
The broad-spectrum enzyme profile includes enzymes that help digest gluten, lactose, plant fibres, starches, and legumes, helping support nutrient absorption and digestive comfort in a convenient vegetarian-friendly capsule format.
