Working hand-in-hand with probiotics, digestive enzymes can be used in the manufacture of foods to address specific health concerns such as acid reflux, gas and heartburn. They are the new frontier when it comes to digestive health, and evidence suggests beverages, candy, dried goods, fruit juices, margarine, snack bars and other common foods would serve as good delivery vehicles for active digestive enzymes.

"Boosting Immunity Through Digestion" examines key trends affecting marketplace growth and consumer demographics, and innovations that are changing and challenging the marketplace environment. The report profiles major marketers and suppliers of foods and beverages containing probiotics and/or prebiotics, in addition to exploring opportunities for the addition of digestive enzymes to foods and beverages.
