The idea behind taking enzymes is that it will help us to digest better. For some reason our bodies can't do it well enough. In fact, we have a very sophisticated digestive system. We have specific enzymes that work on specific foods and don't work on anything else except for those specific foods. We are very efficient at digestion. When we take enzymes through the mouth, what happens is because of the acidity of the stomach, they can become inactive, because that acid of the stomach causes them to breakdown. In reality, we don't need these enzyme caplets, but the idea behind it is that it will help you digest better.
