Buy Plant Enzymes: broad-spectrum digestive support
Plant Enzymes by Now Foods, 120 vegetable capsules, brings together the main enzymes needed to break down proteins, carbohydrates, fats and fibre in a single capsule. Available at our Paris shop, with Click & Collect and delivery across France and Europe.
Why digestive enzymes?
Digestion relies on many enzymes the body produces naturally, but age, stress, an unbalanced diet or certain food sensitivities can reduce this natural production. Plant Enzymes steps in with broad-spectrum support, formulated entirely from plant and fungal-derived enzymes, making it suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.

What’s in the blend
Protease (12,500 HUT, plus an acid-stable protease at 2,500 HUT active in the stomach) breaks proteins into peptides and amino acids. Bromelain (from pineapple, 5,000 FCC PU) and papain (from papaya, 6,000 FCC PU) add further protein-digesting support, particularly useful after a hearty, meat-rich meal. Amylase (2,500 DU) extends the breakdown of starches and complex carbohydrates begun by saliva. Lipase (750 FIP) helps digest dietary fats, cellulase (500 CU) breaks down plant fibre — useful for anyone eating a lot of fruit and vegetables — and lactase (200 ALU) supports lactose digestion for those who are sensitive to dairy.

Who is this for?
This enzyme blend suits people who regularly feel bloated, heavy or slow after meals, anyone eating a varied diet rich in protein, starches and fat, people sensitive to lactose, and those eating plenty of fruit and vegetables who may benefit from the added cellulase.
How to use & precautions
Take 1 capsule at the start of each meal with a large glass of water; do not exceed 3 capsules per day. Taking the capsule right before eating means the enzymes are ready as digestion begins.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Plant Enzymes and a probiotic?
Digestive enzymes and probiotics play different roles. Enzymes like those in Plant Enzymes act directly on breaking food down into absorbable nutrients, while probiotics are live micro-organisms supporting gut flora balance. The two approaches are complementary and can be used together.
Can Plant Enzymes be taken every day?
Yes, at one capsule per meal. The 120-capsule format allows regular use over several weeks; we suggest periodic breaks and advice from a healthcare professional for extended use.
Is Plant Enzymes suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. All enzymes in this formula are plant- or fungal-derived, and the capsule itself is made from plant cellulose — suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
