Digestyme
Problem Statement
Indigestion is common around the world, as many people do not have a sufficient amount of enzymes to digest a certain type of food.
"70,000,000 people everyday suffer from some form of digestive issues (heartburn, acid reflux, GERD (gastro esophageal reflex disorder), IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), indigestion constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.)."

Solution Statement
Digestyme will create granola-fruit bars containing natural digestive enzymes so that it will aid the process of digestion in the body. The bars will also be gluten-free and nutrition rich, making sure that people who are gluten-free will not have to lack in nutrients. This solution is innovative because it combines the advantages that many other bars provide, such as bars being enzyme rich or gluten free, and combines those positive aspects into one bar. One bar will be amylase rich for those who have a hard time digesting carbohydrates, and another bar will be lipase rich for those who have a hard time digesting fat, or suffer from acid reflux. When a person eats one of these delicious bars before a meal, they will find that the symptoms of indigestion will be significantly reduced.
