We've all heard how important digestive health is for overall wellness, and most recently more information has been discovered about how digestion affects immunity, mood and essentially all body systems. Because it's so important, we want to support digestion well and one way to do that daily is with enzyme supplements.

Enzymes are protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant and animal cells and are critical for our bodies to function. Enzymes allow the body’s cells to communicate well with each other, help keep cell growth, life and death under control (this is SO important!), are needed for more than 4,000 biochemical reactions in the body, and  are responsible for every chemical reaction in our bodies. Also, enzymes are essential for our cells to build up and break down molecules in our bodies. 

Young Living has five different enzyme supplements: EssentialZyme, EssentialZyme-4, AllerZyme, DetoxZyme, and MightyZyme. For more on each individual supplement including ingredients and suggested regimens, check out the Supplemental Field Guide.

 EssentiaZyme-4 is an enzyme complex aids in the digestion of dietary fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates.

The plant-based enzyme capsules contain a mix of enzymes that break down starch, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and minerals and are designed to release immediately upon entering the stomach, where the environment is conducive to the digestion of plant material. These capsules also contain bromelain and papain, plant-based enzymes from pineapple and papaya with wonderful health benefits, and they are infused with digestive-supporting essential oils. 

The animal-based enzymes contain pancreatic enzymes, bee pollen and an essential oil blend that supports digestion and are designed to target release in the lower intestine region, where the environment is better suited for the digestion of animal fats and proteins.

TO USE Take 2 capsules (1 dual-dose blister pack) 2 times daily with the largest meals of the day (4 capsules total).

 EssentialZyme is a multienzyme complex formulated to support and balance digestive health and stimulate overall enzyme activity and is best taken an hour before a meal. EssentialZyme  contains tarragon, peppermint, anise, fennel, and clove essential oils that help improve enzyme activity, and support healthy pancreatic function.

Essentialzyme contains a unique blend of enzymes such as pancrelipase and pancreatin that are known to assist the body in breaking down and digesting food, as well as Tarragon, Peppermint, Anise, Fennel, and Clove premium essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity and support healthy pancreatic function.

TO USE Take 1 dual time-release caplet 1 hour before your largest meal of the day for best results.

What is the difference between Essentialzyme-4 and Essentialzyme: Essentialzyme: a unique blend of enzymes such as pancrelipase and pancreatin that are known to assist the body in breaking down and digesting food, as well as Tarragon, Peppermint, Anise, Fennel, and Clove premium essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity and specifically support healthy pancreatic function. These enzymes are to be taken once a day before your largest meal.

Essentialzyme-4: a set of two dual enzyme capsules infused with Ginger, Fennel, Tarragon, and Anise premium essential oils. In combination, these two capsules aid in the digestion of dietary fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates for optimal nutrient absorption. These enzymes are to be taken with your two largest meals of the day.

 AllerZyme is a vegetarian enzyme complex that works with your body’s natural systems to promote normal digestive function. AllerZyme is specifically formulated for individuals with dietary and environmental sensitivities and helps provide relief of symptoms such as fullness, pressure, bloating, gas, pain, and/or minor cramping that may occur after eating.

Each ingredient in Allerzyme is gentle on the system while also playing a specific support role for nutrient absorption and digestive health. This formulation is specifically designed for vegetarian individuals and those with dietary and environmental sensitivities. 

 DetoxyZyme is a blend of enzymes and essential oils formulated to promote detoxification and cleansing, which helps support normal digestive function. DetoxZyme contains powerful essential oils like cumin, anise, and fennel that work synergistically with fast acting, powerful enzymes to help break down food and assimilate nutrients and help mitigate symptoms of digestive upset.

This formulation works to complete the digestive process, improve mineral absorption from food, improve gallbladder and liver function, prevent yeast overgrowth and detoxify the gastrointestinal tract. DetoxZyme includes enzymes similar to EssentialZyme and EssentialZyme-4, but the formulation in DetoxZyme is specifically geared toward detoxifying the digestive system.

 KidScents MightyZyme is a chewable enzyme supplement designed to support and assist the digestive needs of growing bodies and the normal digestion of foods.

Enzymes are crucial to our health and digestion, and in an ideal world our foods would be rich in natural enzymes. Unfortunately the average diet and even the soil quality of our produce lead us to be sorely depleted in enzymes at an early age. Without these little workers, we are not assimilating the nutrients that we need, and we all know that growing bodies need those nutrients!

When it comes to the health of our children, we want to make sure we're choosing the best, safest options around, and that's why so many of us have turned to Young Living. We absolutely love the entire KidScents line of oils, personal care products and supplements. Here are our favorite supplements for kids or for anyone needing chewable options!

Everything we eat or drink is sent through our digestive system. Every single thing we put into our bodies to give our cells energy passes through this system, so supporting it daily can give us huge benefits!
