How do they aid in digestion?
Digestive enzymes break down the elements of food; the proteins, fats, oils, carbohydrates, glucose/sugars, and fiber, into their essential basic units for absorption. They also release plant minerals, and provide systemic help against inflammation and protein based allergies. While these enzymes are present in raw foods, they are eliminated in cooked or processed foods. This means the body is called upon to produce them and it does place a stress on the system. This also prevents a more fully digested product from getting all of its nutrition delivered to the pet.
