Greens Powder with Digestive Enzymes: Why It Matters

Digestive enzymes are proteins that break down food into smaller, usable nutrients. 

Your body naturally produces them in the:

• Stomach
• Pancreas
• Small intestine
• Saliva

But stress, age, low-fiber diets, processed foods, and digestive disorders can reduce enzyme production.

There are 3 main digestive enzyme categories:

1. Protease - Breaks down proteins into amino acids
2. Amylase - Breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars
3. Lipase - Breaks down fats into fatty acids

AllGreens+ contains plant-based enzymes that complement your body’s natural digestion.

The modern American diet is high in:

• Processed foods
• Sugar
• Fried foods
• Dairy
• Low fiber foods
• Artificial additives

These slow digestion and weaken enzyme production, leading to:

• Bloating
• “Heavy stomach” feeling
• Gas and indigestion
• Food sitting too long in the gut
• Nutrient malabsorption
• Fatigue
• Inflammation

A peer-reviewed article in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition notes:

“Enzyme insufficiency reduces nutrient absorption and increases digestive discomfort.”

Digestive enzymes in greens powders help compensate for these deficits.

This is the #1 reason enzyme-enhanced greens powders outperform regular greens.

When enzymes break down food properly, your body can absorb:

• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Polyphenols
• Amino acids
• Chlorophyll
• Antioxidants

Much faster and more efficiently.

Without enzymes, these nutrients may pass through the digestive system unused.

NIH research confirms that digestive enzyme supplementation significantly enhances nutrient uptake: Leaky Gut, Leaky Brain?

This is why AllGreens+ includes a multi-enzyme blend for maximum bioavailability.

If you experience:

• Bloating after meals
• Heavy stomach feeling
• Gas
• Acid reflux
• Slow digestion

Digestive enzymes can offer fast relief.

Plant-based enzymes in greens powders help break down fiber, protein, and fats — reducing the chance of fermentation and gas buildup in the intestines.

A study published in Current Drug Metabolism found that enzymes significantly improve digestive comfort.

This is particularly important for greens powders, as plant fibers can overwhelm weak digestive systems.

Good digestion = a thriving microbiome.

When food is properly broken down:

• Good bacteria flourish
• Harmful bacteria decline
• Gut lining stays healthy
• Inflammation decreases

When food is not digested properly:

• Fermentation increases
• Harmful bacteria grow
• Toxins accumulate
• Gut barrier becomes compromised

This leads to leaky gut, bloating, inflammation, and weakened immunity.

Digestive enzymes + probiotics (found in AllGreens+) create an ideal environment for gut balance.

When food ferments in the gut, it releases inflammatory byproducts. 

Digestive enzymes:

• Reduce fermentation
• Speed up digestion
• Improve nutrient conversion
• Lower inflammation levels

This supports:

• Joint comfort
• Skin clarity
• Better energy
• Stronger immune response

Anti-inflammatory support is also reinforced by chlorophyll-rich greens: The Role of Chlorophyll and Antioxidants in Detoxification

Poor digestion = low energy.

Why? Because nutrients aren’t being absorbed and converted into fuel.

Digestive enzymes unlock:

• B-vitamin absorption
• Iron absorption
• Amino acid digestion
• Antioxidant utilization

This means more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s energy molecule.

Many AllGreens+ users report:

• Better morning energy
• Less post-meal fatigue
• Fewer digestive crashes
• Improved mental clarity

This is the natural result of improved nutrient availability.

Greens powders typically contain:

• Dense fibers
• Sea vegetables
• Algae (spirulina, chlorella)
• Hard-to-break-down plant cell walls

These are very hard for the body to digest without enzymes.

Plant enzymes break them down into:

• Free amino acids
• Active chlorophyll
• Bioavailable minerals
• Easier-to-absorb polyphenols

Without enzymes, you may not get the full benefits.

AllGreens+ is designed to be a digestive-optimized daily greens formula.

Its enzyme system helps:

• Improve nutrient absorption - Maximize the benefits of superfoods.
• Reduce bloating & discomfort - Especially for those with sensitive digestion.
• Support the microbiome - Enzymes + prebiotics + probiotics = ideal gut environment.
• Enhance detoxification - Better breakdown = fewer toxins.
• Increase daily energy - By improving breakdown of plant compounds.
