Should i take digestive enzymes as a supplement?

This is a question from one of our students as part of course #231 “Health Education”

Feedback from his tutor :

There are a very large number of enzymes in the body that are involved in almost all major physiological functions. We know better about digestive enzymes, which contribute to the proper digestion of all foods.

1/ We recommend that our customers take digestive enzymes only as a curative measure, not as a preventive measure.
2/ Before recommending enzymes to your customers, you need to ask yourself why they have poor digestion and whether their digestive problems (bloating, gas, diarrhea, etc.) stem from poor digestion of specific foods.
3/ An important thing to know is that, among the different enzymes, each is specific to a particular type of biochemical reaction. In other words, a protein-digesting enzyme – called protease – can’t break down anything but protein. It has no effect on carbohydrates, fats, sugars or fibers.
An enzyme will only help improve the digestion of a food if it’s the right type of enzyme for the right type of food.

EXAMPLE: Your client suffers from poor digestion of vegetables (beans, chickpeas, broad beans, etc.) Well, these foods contain a variety of carbohydrates called oligosaccharides, which are types of sugar poorly absorbed by the body.
They need a certain sugar-digesting enzyme, called alpha-galactosidase, to break them down so they can be absorbed. Here, taking a protein- or fat-digesting enzyme, for example, won’t help your customer at all.
