Discover What You May Be Doing Wrong to
Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals!
Many people would never even
think of buying digestive
enzymes when they shop for
supplements. Being that they are
rarely mentioned in any muscle
or fitness magazine, people
assume they are not needed or
cannot benefit them when attempting to achieve their fat loss
goals. Even though enzymes are not a necessity for
achieving your fitness goals, it is important to know exactly
what they are, the different kinds of enzymes and discuss
how they can help you.
What Are Digestive Enzymes
Digestive enzymes allow our bodies to break down the foods
that we consume. Enzymes help to regulate every metabolic
process and make sure that we are able to fully absorb the
nutrients we consume on a daily basis. Digestive enzymes

2. can help those who require more calories such as a
hardgainer to fully absorb the nutrients that they need in
order to reach their full potential. Now that I have described
what digestive enzymes are, I will proceed to give you three
of the most important enzymes needed to decrease body fat
and increase lean muscle tissue.
Different Kinds of Enzymes
Below is a list of some enzymes that play an important role
in weight loss as they cover the three macronutrients
(proteins, fats and carbohydrates). There are other enzymes,
but these are most important for those attempting to have fat
loss success.
1. Amylase- The enzyme that is responsible for breaking
down carbohydrates.
2. Protease- The enzyme that is responsible for breaking
down proteins.
3. Lipase- The enzyme that is responsible for breaking down
fats.
Miscellaneous
Cellulase- The enzyme that is responsible for breaking down
fibers.
Note: the body does not produce this enzyme naturally. We
must consume this through a dietary supplement or food in
order to reap the benefits it provides our bodies with.

3. How Can Digestive Enzymes Help You
People attempting to decrease unwanted belly fat, naturally
must consume more protein than the average person as it is
one of the three macronutrients. By taking the digestive
enzyme protease, it can enable your body to absorb the
protein your body intakes and utilize it better.
The way that this works is your body will increase its blood
levels of amino acids. When these amino acids are in your
body, it will enhance your body’s ability to put on lean
muscle tissue and assist in optimal recovery time. So if you
were training hard and were finding yourself suffering from
chronic fatigue and soreness, protease may be something
you can add to your diet other than L-Glutamine and BCAA’s
to help with this problem.
Another interesting thing to take note of is the older you get,
the harder it becomes to digest foods. Research states that
when someone takes a blend of digestive enzymes, their
bodies can digest and absorb the foods they eat at a faster
rate than if they had not taken any enzymes.
When to Take These Supplements
The best time to take protease would be before and after a
workout as it can help you stay anabolic. An optimal amount
to take to ensure your body the best results would range
anywhere from 200 to 600 mg’s per day. Personally I would

4. take around 200-300 mg’s before and after a workout as it
allows your body to fully absorb this enzyme.
Amylase and lipase enzymes should be consumed right
before a meal so your body can digest the food you
consume adequately. Usually amylase and lipase are found
in a digestive enzyme blend and are not sold separately.
A great digestive enzyme to consume would be pancreatine.
This enzyme contains protease, lipase, amylase as well as
several other enzymes that will allow your body to digest
foods more efficiently. The best part of all is that pancreatine
is very cost efficient.
Shopping Tips
There are so many different name brands and products out
there that claim their digestive enzyme is the best. When
choosing a digestive enzyme, take note of a few things. First
and foremost, look for a blend that has protease, amylase
and lipase as these are the enzymes that help absorb and
digest the three macronutrients.
Next, I would look for a brand that has bromelain as it helps
digest protein and with inflammation or joint pains. Papain is
another enzyme that helps to digest proteins. So other than
these five ingredients mentioned above: trypsin,
chymotrypsin, pepsin are enzymes that can constitute a
great complex of digestive enzymes. Trypsin, chymotrypsin,
pepsin are the three proteolytic (or protein-degrading)
enzymes which helps deliver those important amino acids to

5. the body and allows the body to recover optimally and
produce more muscle.
So the next time you are at your local supplement or vitamin
store, check to make sure these ingredients are all in the
multi-enzyme you choose and you should reap all the
benefits mentioned above.
