Overview

NOW Foods Super Enzymes provides a comprehensive digestive enzyme blend: bromelain (protein digestion from pineapple), ox bile extract (fat emulsification and absorption), pancreatin 10X (pancreatic enzymes for protein, fat, and carb digestion), and papain (protein digestion from papaya). This full-spectrum approach supports digestion of all macronutrients. The ox bile is particularly valuable for those without a gallbladder or with sluggish bile production, as bile is essential for fat absorption and fat-soluble vitamin uptake.
