• Improved Nutrient Absorption - Digestive enzymes act as biological catalysts, allowing vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids to be properly released and absorbed rather than passing through unused.
• Clean, Vegan and Stored for Integrity - Encapsulated in plant based capsules with no unnecessary fillers and protected in Miron glass to preserve potency, freshness and energetic integrity.

Digestive Enzymes are naturally produced by the body, yet modern life places unprecedented demands on digestion. Chronic stress, ageing, rushed eating, low stomach acid, processed foods and repeated antibiotic exposure all reduce enzyme output over time. When enzymes decline, food is no longer fully broken down, leading to bloating, gas, heaviness after meals, reflux, irregular stools and reduced nutrient absorption even from the best diets.

Ancient Purity Digestive Enzymes are formulated to support digestion where it matters most. The enzymes remain active across a wide pH spectrum and are resistant to degradation in the stomach, allowing them to reach the small intestine where the majority of nutrient absorption occurs. This makes the complex effective across individual digestive differences rather than relying on a narrow operating window. Designed for daily use, especially with larger meals, higher protein diets, plant heavy diets or during periods of digestive stress. This is not about forcing digestion, but restoring the conditions under which the body can perform as it was designed to.

Beyond comfort, digestive enzymes are foundational to health. Without proper digestion, even the most organic, nutrient dense diet cannot deliver its benefits. By assisting the breakdown of food into its basic building blocks, this complex supports energy levels, gut integrity, metabolic efficiency and overall vitality. It may also support reduced acid reflux by improving stomach emptying and reducing fermentation pressure that contributes to regurgitation and heartburn. Encapsulated cleanly, plant based and protected in Miron Glass, this is digestive support done properly, intelligently and without compromise.

Q: What exactly are Digestive Enzymes?
A: Digestive Enzymes are specialised proteins that act as biological catalysts, meaning they speed up the chemical reactions required to break food down into its smallest usable parts. Proteins are broken into amino acids, fats into fatty acids, and carbohydrates into simple sugars. Without digestive enzymes, food cannot be properly processed, regardless of how healthy it is. These enzymes are naturally produced by the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver and small intestine, but their production can be reduced by age, stress, illness, poor diet, alcohol, medications and modern eating habits.

Q: Do I need to take Digestive Enzymes forever?
A: No, they're help on the journey that you can always ask to come back and help at any stage. Many people use digestive enzymes as a supportive tool rather than a lifelong dependency. They can be taken during periods of digestive stress, after illness, antibiotic use, heavy training, ageing related decline or when transitioning to a higher quality diet. As digestion improves and the gut environment becomes healthier, some people find they can reduce or cycle their use. Others choose to continue long term because of the consistent comfort and nutrient absorption they experience. The key is support, not replacement.

Q: What else could help my digestion improve naturally?
A: Digestion improves when the whole system is supported. Eating slowly, chewing food thoroughly and avoiding eating while stressed can dramatically improve enzyme efficiency. Adequate stomach acid, sufficient bile flow, hydration, mineral balance and a healthy gut microbiome all play vital roles. Whole foods, fermented foods, bitter compounds, movement after meals, good sleep and reducing ultra processed foods all contribute to stronger digestion. Digestive enzymes work best as part of a wider digestive support strategy rather than in isolation.

Q: Why should I take Digestive Enzymes?
A: Digestive Enzymes are essential biological catalysts that allow your body to break food down into absorbable nutrients. While the body produces enzymes naturally through saliva, the stomach, pancreas, liver and gallbladder, modern factors such as ageing, chronic stress, rushed eating, low stomach acid, antibiotic use and processed foods significantly reduce enzyme output. Supplementing with a food based enzyme complex helps ensure that proteins, fats and carbohydrates are properly broken down so the nutrients you eat are actually absorbed and used by the body rather than passing through unused.

Q: What are the main symptoms of Digestive Enzyme insufficiency?
A: Symptoms often begin in the gut and may include bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, cramps, diarrhoea or constipation, oily or floating stools, visible undigested food in stools, acid reflux, heartburn, regurgitation and unexplained weight loss. Over time, enzyme insufficiency may also contribute to fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, weakened immunity and food sensitivities due to poor absorption.

Q: Can Digestive Enzymes improve overall health?
A: Yes. Proper digestion is foundational to health. Digestive enzymes allow vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids to be released from food and absorbed at the cellular level. Without adequate enzyme activity, even the highest quality diet cannot fully nourish the body. Supporting digestion can improve energy levels, gut comfort, metabolic efficiency, immune resilience and long term vitality.

Q: What makes Ancient Purity Digestive Enzymes different from other enzyme supplements?
A: Ancient Purity Digestive Enzymes are food based, broad spectrum and designed to work across a wide pH range. This allows them to function effectively in different digestive environments rather than relying on narrow conditions. The blend is clean, plant derived, free from unnecessary fillers and encapsulated in vegan capsules, then stored in Miron glass to preserve freshness and potency.

Q: What enzymes are included and what do they do?
A: Protease supports the digestion of proteins into amino acids.
Lipase helps break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
Amylase assists with carbohydrate digestion.
Lactase supports the breakdown of lactose for those sensitive to dairy sugars. Cellulase helps digest plant fibres and cell walls, improving nutrient release from vegetables. Bromelain and Papain are proteolytic enzymes derived from pineapple and papaya that further support protein digestion and gut comfort.

Q: Can Digestive Enzymes help with bloating and gas?
A: Yes. Bloating and gas often occur when food ferments in the gut due to incomplete digestion. Digestive enzymes help break food down more efficiently, reducing fermentation, pressure and discomfort after meals.

Q: Can Digestive Enzymes help with acid reflux and heartburn?
A: In many cases, yes. Acid reflux is not always caused by too much stomach acid but by poor digestion and delayed stomach emptying. Digestive enzymes can support more efficient breakdown of food, reducing the likelihood of acid being pushed back into the oesophagus.

Q: Should I take Digestive Enzymes with every meal?
A: Digestive enzymes are most commonly taken with meals, especially larger meals, protein rich meals, plant heavy meals or meals that are harder to digest. Some people choose to use them daily, while others use them strategically during periods of digestive stress.

Q: Are Digestive Enzymes safe for daily use?
A: When food based and used as directed, digestive enzymes are generally safe for daily use. They support natural digestive processes rather than overriding them. As with any supplement, individual needs vary and listening to your body is key.

Q: Can Digestive Enzymes help with food intolerances?
A: Digestive Enzymes may help reduce symptoms related to food intolerances by improving breakdown of specific components such as lactose, proteins or plant fibres. They do not cure allergies but can improve tolerance and comfort for many people.

Q: Do Digestive Enzymes help nutrient absorption as I age?
A: Yes. Natural enzyme production declines with age. Supporting digestion with enzymes can help maintain nutrient absorption, energy levels and overall resilience as the body’s own output decreases.

Q: Are these enzymes suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
A: Yes. Ancient Purity Digestive Enzymes are plant derived and encapsulated in vegan capsules.

Q: Can I take Digestive Enzymes alongside probiotics?
A: Yes. Digestive enzymes and probiotics work synergistically. Enzymes help break food down, while probiotics support a healthy gut microbiome. Together they create a more efficient digestive environment.

Q: How quickly will I notice a difference?
A: Some people notice reduced bloating and improved comfort within days, while deeper benefits such as improved nutrient status and energy may develop over weeks of consistent use.

Q: Who benefits most from Digestive Enzymes?
A: Digestive enzymes are particularly useful for individuals experiencing bloating, reflux, fatigue after meals, those eating high protein or plant heavy diets, older adults, people under chronic stress, and anyone wanting to maximise the benefits of a whole food diet.

Q: What works best with Digestive Enzymes?
A: Digestive Enzymes pair exceptionally well with other natural digestive supports that prepare the gut, nourish the body and improve nutrient uptake. The Ancient Purity Synergy Probotics are awesome. I'm going to choose another 3 here though.

Ancient Purity Digestive Enzymes + Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar supports healthy stomach acid levels, which is essential for activating digestive enzymes and initiating proper protein digestion. Taken before meals, it helps prime the digestive system so enzymes can work more efficiently, reducing bloating and heaviness after eating.

Ancient Purity Digestive Enzymes + Bee Pollen
Bee pollen is a whole food rich in naturally occurring enzymes, amino acids, minerals and phytonutrients. It nourishes the digestive system at a cellular level and supports metabolic activity. When combined with digestive enzymes, it enhances nutrient utilisation and supports gut vitality and resilience.

Ancient Purity Digestive Enzymes + Multi Vitamin & Minerals
Digestive Enzymes help unlock nutrients from food, but minerals and vitamins are required for the body to actually use those nutrients effectively. A high quality multivitamin and mineral complex supports enzyme production, stomach acid balance and metabolic processes, creating a complete foundation for long term digestive and systemic health.

• Take 1-2 capsules daily just before (10-15 mins) the main meal of the day, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
• Consider taking 20 minutes before a meal to lessen the stress on the pancreas. Another goal is to maximise the amount of time the Digestive Enzymes have in contact with the food.
• Do not take them too far in advance of a meal because your stomach acid might damage the enzymes before your body can use them for the meal.

WARNING: Do not take if pregnant/lactating, or if suffering from (confirmed/suspected):peptic ulcer, hiatus hernia or any GI tract inflammation.
