Natural Balance Introduces Digestive Enzyme Formula Castle Rock, CO -- Castle Rock, CO

Natural Balance announced today the introduction of Fast Food Enzymes™, the enzyme supplement for improving digestion and reducing gas and bloating. Its comprehensive formula and fun, retro 50’s look will introduce digestive enzymes to a new segment of consumers. With long workdays, rush hour traffic, and business trips it’s not always easy for people to eat right. Most of us indulge in an occasional burger, pizza, or other fast food. Unfortunately, eating on the run often results in gas, bloating and indigestion. Plus, as we get older, our digestion just doesn’t work as well as it once did. Even healthy foods can cause gas and discomfort. The high-tech, cutting edge formula in Fast Food Enzymes incorporates the latest advances in enzyme technology. It contains a full spectrum of non-animal source enzymes that helps the body break down fats, proteins, starches, and even difficult plant fiber. Whether a person is eating burgers or organic broccoli, this comprehensive blend will improve digestion and increase assimilation of the nutritional value in the food they eat. The modern vegetarian enzymes contained in Fast Food Enzymes are more effective than animal-derived enzymes because they are resistant to stomach acid and remain effective in a wider range of pH found in the digestive tract. This new formula also contains a proprietary complex called HemiSEB™*, which helps to break down normally indigestible residues and fiber from legumes (beans), wheat, rice, soybeans, and such. Since vegetarian diets do not supply all of these enzymes, this complex is very helpful for reducing gas and discomfort experienced even when eating healthy foods! Fast Food Enzymes has a fun, friendly, attention-grabbing package that is sure to attract new customers. Its comprehensive blend of cutting edge enzymes delivers results that will appeal to fans of healthy, whole foods and people who sometimes indulge in the “fast food fandango”. In either case, Fast Food Enzymes will reduce the discomfort of gas and bloating, so people can once again enjoy the foods they love. Located in Castle Rock, Colorado, Natural Balance manufactures and distributes dietary supplements for energy, diet, and other special needs including memory, women’s health and more. Its products are among the top-selling supplements in health food stores nationwide. *
