Does
your
digestion
leave
something
to
be
desired
?
If
you
often
experience
discomfort
after
eating
,
you're
not
alone
.
According
to
the
National
Institutes
of
Health
, 60
to
70
million
Americans
are
affected
by
digestive
diseases
.
Many
are
trying
a
fairly
new
but
growing
category
of
supplements
called
digestive
enzymes
,
which
may
help
the
body
break
down
compounds
in
food
.
你的消化系统是否还有待改进？进食后你是否会有不适感？你不是一个人！据美国国立卫生研究院统计，6000至7000万美国人都患有消化系统疾病。很多人都在尝试一种相对较新但却日益增长的补充剂--消化酶补充剂，该补充剂或有助于身体分解食物中的化合物。
These
supplements
typically
contain
a
variety
of
digestive
enzymes
such
as
amylases
,
lipases
and
proteases
.
A
report
by
Transparency
Market
Research
estimates
that
the
global
market
for
digestive
enzyme
supplements
,
worth
$358
million
in
2016,
is
expected
to
grow
to
more
than
$1
billion
by
2025.
通常情况下，这些补充剂含有一系列的消化酶，包括淀粉酶、脂肪酶和蛋白酶。透明市场研究机构（
Transparency
Market
Research
）的一份报告表示，2016年全球消化酶补充剂市场价值3.58亿美元，预计到2025年，其市值将超过10亿美元。

Promotions
for
some
of
these
supplements
do
more
than
promise
they
will
cure
digestive
ailments
.
They
also
claim
the
supplements
will
help
people
lose
weight
,
think
more
clearly
and
even
give
people
the
ability
to
eat
foods
they're
allergic
to
.
But
before
I
explain
why
these
supplements
aren't
all
they're
cracked
up
to
be
,
and
could
even
be
dangerous
,
here's
a
quick
lesson
on
how
enzymes
fit
into
the
digestive
process
.
某些补充剂的营销手段不仅仅是承诺它们能治疗消化系统疾病。营销人员还声称，这些补充剂将有助于人们减轻体重、更清晰地思考、甚至能让人吃一些过敏食物。在解释这些补充剂或许并不如其被吹捧的那般有效（甚至可能很危险）前，先快速了解酶在消化系统中的工作情况吧。

are

消化酶究竟是什么？
Digestive
enzymes
are
proteins
your
body
produces
and
uses
to
break
down
your
food
into
energy
and
nutrients
.
They
differ
from
probiotics
,
which
are
bacteria
or
yeasts
that
offer
health
benefits
,
and
prebiotics
,
which
are
fibers
and
other
non
-
digestible
compounds
that
promote
the
growth
of
healthy
gut
bacteria
.
Specific
types
of
enzymes
break
down
carbohydrates
,
proteins
or
fats
.
Digestive
enzymes
are
released
and
mix
with
your
food
throughout
digestion
,
starting
in
the
mouth
and
continuing
in
the
stomach
,
pancreas
,
liver
and
