Nature's Sunshine Protein Digestive Aid contains Pepsin, an enzyme that assists the digestion of proteins in the acidic environment of the stomach. Pepsin converts proteins into short chains of amino acids. Also contains Betain HCl, which supplements normal body acids.
The stomach manufactures hydrochloric acid to break down proteins. But, as people age, they may produce less HCl, which can affect the amount of protein they can break down and ultimately absorb. Inefficient protein digestion can affect the viability of the intestinal flora that feast on these compounds.
