As per US CDC, the geriatric population would hold population domination of 25% by 2060, which currently stands close to 18%. Researchers have aided that with rising age, the body’s tendency to naturally produce enzymes such as lipase, protease, and amylase deplete, hence supplements are often given to counter the body’s low tendency. Additionally, people’s tendency to digest lactose depletes with age, and hence lactase supplements are given to them. Further, research has propagated that people suffering from type-1 or 2 diabetes should regularly intake such digestive supplements.
