Dietary Supplements
Within the nutraceutical industry, enzymes are used as ingredients added to digestive aid supplements to support break down of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, or allergens such as lactose.
Enzymes as digestive ingredients
Like much of the food industry, the nutraceutical market has seen an increasing demand for vegetarian and vegan alternatives as consumers look to move away from animal products due to concerns with sustainability. This has meant companies are increasingly looking for alternatives to enzymes, like pepsin and pancreatin, which have traditionally been used as digestive aids.
