The Claim
Some individuals claim that taking digestive enzymes can aid weight loss by enhancing metabolism and breaking down food more efficiently.
Origin
This myth is partly propagated by anecdotal success stories shared online and by some wellness blogs linking enzyme use to weight management.
What Science Says
Current evidence does not support the use of digestive enzymes as a viable weight loss strategy. A review of clinical trials shows no significant impact of enzyme supplementation on weight loss outcomes in healthy individuals. The perceived weight loss effects are often due to placebo or unrelated dietary changes.
Verdict
False
