I understand that Bio N-Zymes™ is a vegetarian formula. How are plant-derived enzymes better than those from animal sources available on the market?
Plant-derived enzymes are active in a broad pH range of 2 to 10, and temperature ranges of 24°C to 50°C, well within the human body’s normal pH and temperature ranges. Animal enzymes remain inactive until they reach the higher pH of the small intestinal tract, so they are not very effective at aiding the digestive process in the stomach.
