ABSORBING NUTRIENTS THROUGH ENZYMES

by mary schook

A lot of people I know are really doing a great job at taking their vitamins and making an effort to eat better foods. You may be personally doing all of the right things, yet your energy levels remain low and your skin dry and lack-luster. Aside from stress and lifestyle conditions that could be contributing to this problem, the most obvious reason this may be happening is you're NOT absorbing your nutrients!

Forget juice cleanse fads! The real beauty and health secret is in digestive enzymes (and probiotics), which are essential to absorption. Enzymes break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into energy or essential nutrients necessary for the cells. Our bodies already produce enzymes to do the job, but as we age and abuse our bodies we need to seek out enzymes to help the body complete the process.

How do you know if you're absorbing your food properly? If you're getting heartburn or constipation that is one indicator you might not be absorbing your nutrients.

I personally take enzymes along with my supplements so that I make my supplements more bioavailable. I make sure I take a full spectrum formula that breaks down more than just proteins and fats. The one I listed below from Amazon is a pretty decent brand.

I must say the people that I know that take good enzymes have seen the biggest improvements in skin tone and energy levels.

Now you know one of my secrets!
