Digestive enzyme therapy can be an important first step in restoring health for many underlying conditions. Jamieson Nutrisentials Digestive Enzymes provides a complete plant-source matrix for the digestion of protein, fat, carbohydrates, starch, dairy and fibre. The formula is fortified with calcium gluconate to neutralize excess acid, while a complex of peppermint leaf, chamomile and fennel calm an upset stomach.

Digestive enzymes help maintain optimal digestion and absorption by restoring natural enzyme levels. Nutriesentials also ease digestive complaints, including gas, heartburn and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
