BiOptimizers
If you’re over 35, your enzyme levels have already begun to decline and your immune system can be more susceptible to viruses.
Enzymes are the workhorses of digestion. They break your food down into usable macro and micronutrients.
Research shows that by the time someone hits 65, their saliva and pancreatic secretions, both of which are involved in enzyme activity—can have declined by as much as 50%! This decline creates chronic indigestion, setting the stage for gut issues, yeast and mold overgrowth, even malnutrition.
This is why I’m a big fan of enzyme and probiotic supplementation and one of the best companies I’ve ever found that specializes in optimizing your digestion through both of these supplements are my friends at BiOptimizers.
