Digestive Enzymes, such as Lipase and Lactase, are proteins that break food down into digestible nutrients that can be absorbed and utilised by the body.
Probiotics are live micro organisms that confer health benefits on the host when taken in adequate amounts.
Probiotics actually aid digestive enzymes in their digestion of food and processing waste, for example many of our Lactobacilli strains enhance the activity of lactase. Some studies suggest that taking digestive enzymes in the long term may not be beneficial as the body may stop producing its own. Probiotics are safe in the long term however, as the adult body cannot produce its own anyway, therefore there is no risk of addiction or dependency when supplementing probiotic levels.
