Introduction
 Known as the "Father of Herbal Encapsulation," Kenneth
Brailsford pioneered network marketing strategies as founder
of companies such as Nature’s Sunshine and also published
The Herbalist magazine. The company Kenneth Brailsford
established in the 1970s continues strong to this day and
offers dozens of products spanning all aspects of nutrition,
from vitamin supplements to enzymes.
One popular Nature’s Sunshine offering is Food Enzymes,
which combines a variety of enzymes that together play an
essential role in breaking down foods into compounds that
can be easily absorbed into the blood stream.
Included is the protein pre-digesting enzyme Betaine HCl,
which creates an acidic environment ideal for pepsin to thrive.

Enzymes
 Secreted naturally by cells in the stomach wall, the
acid helps unravel the tightly packed globular structure
of proteins. This denaturing process enables pepsin
enzymes to access strong peptide bonds and further
break down the proteins.
The product also includes the enzyme pancreatin,
which provides further digestion of proteins, fats, and
carbohydrates within the small intestine. Meanwhile,
alpha amylase digests starches and bile salt creates
solubility in fats that allows them to be further digested
by lipase. Rounding out this powerhouse collection of
enzymes are papain and bromelain, which aid in the
digestion of proteins so they can be fully utilized by the
body.
