Food enzymes are capable of digesting food before the body’s own digestion process begins. The digestion of food can be enhanced even for the people with faulted digestive system.

Enzymes are present in all living cells. They are a part of natural biochemical processes that occur in the body. When one’s own body is not capable of producing the necessary enzymes, externally taken food enzymes can be the alternatives for those processes. Packed food contains complex carbohydrates and fats which cannot be broken down by the body. Food enzymes present in the processed foods are capable of breaking down complex carbohydrates into simpler molecules.
