To improve metabolism and control any excess weight, we depend on ourbody's ability to convert the foods we consume (proteins, fats, andcarbohydrates) into absorbable substances. Digestive enzymes, such as Helpzymes,allow the body to more efficiently absorb the nutrients contained in food. Itis said that "it is not what we eat that nourishes us, but what we absorbduring the digestive process." Enzymes are natural substances our bodies produce to digest food andconvert it into energy for our metabolism. The foods we consume in our diet arethe body's fuel, much like gasoline powers a car's engine. There are three maintypes of food: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Each type requires the helpof a specific digestive enzyme for proper digestion. For example, enzymescalled proteases are needed to digest proteins, lipases are required to digestfats, and amylases are used to digest carbohydrates. Even if you choose the foods in your diet wisely, if you suffer from poordigestion, stomach gas, heartburn, or reflux, the foods you eat won't helpimprove your metabolism. A nutrient, vitamin, or mineral that hasn't beenproperly digested can't be utilized. And that's precisely the help HELPZYMESenzymes provide by ensuring proper digestion and absorption. When your bodydoesn't digest food properly, the vitamins and minerals it consumes are wasted,and you won't feel the energy your metabolism needs to lose weight. In fact,when digestion isn't good due to a lack of digestive enzymes, you often feeltired or sleepy instead of energized after eating. HELPZYMES enzymes are especially beneficial for people with a "slowmetabolism." The HELPZYMES formulation includes a blend of powerfuldigestive enzymes such as pancreatin, which helps break down body fat (weightloss). Additionally, HELPZYMES enzymes contain a dose of hydrochloric acididentical to that produced by the stomach to help digest proteins properly. Itis known that with age and with conditions such as hypothyroidism or diabetes,the body loses its ability to produce hydrochloric acid, which graduallyreduces digestive capacity and metabolism. By using HELPZYMES enzymes withyour meals, you will notice a reduction or elimination of digestive problemssuch as stomach gas, heartburn, reflux, or lack of energy due to malabsorption. RECOMMENDED DOSAGE: Take 2 Helpzymes capsules with each meal. HELPZYMES enzymes allow for efficient digestion, ensuring a healthymetabolism and increased energy levels and overall health.
