Seventeen in total.<\/p>\n<h2>Why pH range matters too<\/h2>\n<p>Digestion happens across changing acidity. These enzymes stay active from pH 3 to 9, so coverage does not fall off between the stomach and intestine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofitorganic.com\/new-zealand\/product\/spiro-new-zealand\/\"><strong>See SPIRO Plus New Zealand \u2014 pack pricing &#038; reviews \u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Are more enzymes always better?<\/h3>\n<p>What matters is coverage across protein, fat and carbohydrate, and staying active across the digestive tract \u2014 which is where broad-spectrum wins.<\/p>\n<h3>What enzyme breaks down beans?<\/h3>\n<p>\u03b1-galactosidase \u2014 one of the ten carbohydrate enzymes in SPIRO Plus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why broad-spectrum digestive enzymes matter: a single-enzyme supplement leaves gaps a mixed meal exposes.
