The increased prevalence of digestion-related problems right from malnutrition and eating disorders to obesity. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, about 60 to 70 million people are affected by all sorts of digestive diseases. Digestive Health products are a range of products intended to improve digestion by allowing the proper breakdown and absorbance of nutrients to keep the body healthy. The presence of several enzymes in digestive health products, such as lipase, amylases, and lactase, aids in maintaining stomach acid levels and enhances nutritional digestion. The increased demand for digestive enzyme supplements and probiotics to improve digestion is expected to drive the market.

Moreover, the recent development and studies to isolate certain microbial species targeted for specific digestion-related problems have led to increased opportunities for the development of the market. Additionally, consumers are increasingly seeking ways to enhance their health and well-being, which is expected to fuel demand for digestive dairy products. This is due to bad eating patterns and a sedentary lifestyle. Manufacturers are reacting to this need by releasing novel products that have various advantages for digestive health.

The generation of medium to long-chain fatty acids is significantly reduced when this enzyme produces large amounts of short-chain fatty acids.
