Digestion

Enzymes vs probiotics: what’s the difference?

“Enzymes” and “probiotics” get used almost interchangeably on labels, but they are not the same thing at all. Knowing the difference helps you understand what your gut actually needs.*

Enzymes: the workers

Digestive enzymes are the tools that break food down into pieces small enough to absorb.* Think of them as the workers on the line — proteins that do a specific job the moment food arrives.

Probiotics: the residents

Probiotics are living beneficial bacteria that make their home in your gut and support the wider microbiome.* They are less “workers” and more “long-term residents” whose presence helps the whole system run.*

Why VMG+ includes both

VMG+ carries digestive enzymes and probiotics alongside its vitamins and greens, because getting nutrients in is only half the job — absorbing them is the other half.* For deeper gut support, dōTERRA PB Restore® adds a broader pre-, pro- and postbiotic blend.*
