What Are Digestive Enzymes and Do Women Really Need Them?

Digestion Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Many women assume digestion “should just work.” But digestion changes — with age, stress, hormones, and lifestyle.

So it’s no surprise that one of the most searched questions is:
Do women actually need digestive enzymes?

Digestive enzymes aren’t about fixing your body — they’re about supporting what your body already does naturally.

What Digestive Enzymes Do

Digestive enzymes help your body:

• Break food into absorbable nutrients

• Support comfortable digestion

• Promote gut balance†

• Support metabolism through digestion†

Pink Stork Digestive Enzymes contain a 400 mg blend of 13 enzymes, including:

• Protease

• Lipase

• Amylase

• Lactase

• Cellulase

• Alpha-galactosidase

• Bromelain

Each enzyme supports digestion of specific food components.

Why Enzyme Needs Change Over Time

Enzyme production may fluctuate due to:

• Hormonal changes

• Stress

• Dietary shifts

• Aging

• Periods of increased digestive demand

Supporting digestion during these times can help your system feel more balanced and efficient†.

Amla: An Added Layer of Digestive Support

Pink Stork Digestive Enzymes include Amla fruit extract, an antioxidant-rich ingredient traditionally used to support digestive function†.

This addition complements enzyme activity by supporting gut balance and digestive wellness.

Digestive Enzymes vs. Fiber or Probiotics

Digestive enzymes are not fiber or probiotics — they serve a different role:

• Enzymes help break food down

• Fiber supports bowel movement

• Probiotics support gut bacteria balance

Many women choose enzymes as part of a comprehensive digestive routine.

Who May Benefit from Digestive Enzymes?

Digestive enzyme support may be helpful for women who:

• Feel heavy after meals

• Experience occasional bloating

• Have sensitive digestion

• Want better nutrient absorption†

• Are navigating hormonal transitions

Digestive enzymes aren’t about restriction — they’re about support. Pink Stork Digestive Enzymes are designed for women who want gentle, plant-based digestive support without compromise.
