Veterinarians and pet nutritionists often find such deficiencies and recommend digestive enzyme supplements. By aiding in the breakdown of food, these supplements help animals get more nutrients from their food. The results, according to the experts, include improved hair coat and skin, resistance to illness, vigor and mobility, and maintenance of good body weight. Enzymes are particularly beneficial to older dogs who often slowdown in their natural ability to produce digestive enzymes. This powdered supplement, which comes in a 7 oz jar, is sprinkled onto food.
Research shows a strong link between enzyme deficiency and disease.
Supplements contain different enzymes that breakdown various kinds of food. Protease is the enzyme that breaksdown protein. Amylase works on carbohydrates and lipase on fat.

These enzymes are high potency therapeutic enzymes designed for specific conditions.
