The magic behind digestion: enzymes and their role – Nutriendo (Spanish Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) (in Spanish)

“The role of macro and micronutrients in the digestive process is as important as the function of these substances. Adriana Duelo, dietitian-nutritionist and member of the Spanish Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, emphasizes that “thanks to digestive enzymes we can absorb nutrients from food or eliminate molecules that we do not need. Its main function is to break down large substances that we ingest through our diet into small ones so that we can take advantage of them.”

“The difficulty in diagnosing it is understandable considering that DAO Deficiency encompasses many symptoms that, from the outside, seem to have nothing to do with each other. But after more than 10 years of scientific publications and clinical experience, although in the medical field they may be few, health professionals are updating ourselves and we are able to see where we could not before.”

“As Adriana Duelo, nutritionist and director of the International Institute of DAO Deficiency, explains to this portal, “it is the lack of this enzyme that all mammals have in the small intestine, but that works in a weakened way for some people.” When this deficit appears, there is a deficiency in the activity of the DAO enzyme and it prevents a molecule that is ingested through food, histamine, from being metabolized.”
