This is totaly wrong.
Digestive enzymes and pro biotics are two totaly diferent things and do rwo totaly different jobs in the body and can not be inter changed.
Digestive enzymes are produced by the pancreas in response to the creation of stomach acid, they are also found in plants but are not of the same potency as the ones produced by your own body.
Pro biotics are found in foods also; Raw milk, Kefir, yogart, sourcraut and miso paste are all good sources. These are friendly bacteria that live in the gut, they do not digest food in the stomach like the digestive enzymes but help out in the gut. They can also be bought in pill form, however if they have not be kept in a refigerated state they will be useless as they will be dead.
So two different things and while probiotics are better sourced from food, digestive enzymes are only available in pill form (at least the one's your pancreas produces
)
