Can the supplementation of a digestive enzyme complex offer a solution for common digestive problems?

چکیده
Introduction Proper functioning of the digestive system is imperative to assimilate nutrients, to sustain essential functions in the human body, to increase the bioavailability of nutrients, to minimize the risk of food intolerances, and to reduce the formation of toxins/irritants in the gastrointestinal-tract. Incomplete digestion often results in digestive problems such as bloating, diarrhea, stomach pain and cramps. Physicians often encounter these problems, treatment includes the use of gastroprokinetic drugs and lifestyle changes. The aim of this study was to compare the use of a gastroprokinetic agent with a full spectrum digestive enzyme complex from non-animal origin in relieving common digestive complaints.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different levels of dietary Quillaja saponin on the growth performence, digestive enzymes, water quality, and immune response of common carp in biofloc system. The fish (8.06 ± 0.59 g) were fed diets containing 0 (BC), 15 (BS1), 30 (BS2), and 60 (BS3) mg/kg saponin powder for 60 days. The growth performance and protease were significantly higher in t...
