Digestive Enzymes 101!

It's no secret that as we age it becomes harder to enjoy a meal without suffering from some type of digestive discomfort. The reason is that every 10 years of life the pancreas produces fewer digestive enzymes. In addition, our modern diets are largely void of natural plant enzymes. This overall lack of enzymes causes the body to work harder, putting a strain on our internal organs and digestive system. This results in symptoms as minor as heartburn and bloating but can lead to symptoms as major as Irritable Bowel Syndrome and malnutrition.

Multiple Approaches to Digestive Health

Protease and Peptidase help digest protein molecules. Four varieties of protease enzymes have been combined in this formula to compensate for higher protein diets.

Amylase and Alpha-Galactosidase help digest simple and complex carbohydrates and starches, i.e. pastas, breads or starchy vegetables like potatoes.

Glucoamylase, Invertase and Malt Diastase help to digest glucose and other sugars. All three enzymes are included to insure that all natural and refined sugars are completely digested. Improperly digested sugars can lead to blood sugar imbalances.

Lipase and Lipase AN help digest fats and oils. Undigested fats can cause weight gain, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Additionally, Lipase helps your body better utilize Omega fatty acids.

Cellulase and Pectinase help the body break down fiber compounds in order to reap its maximum health benefits. These two enzymes are helpful in bowel regulation.

Phytase, Hemicellulase and Xylanase specifically help with releasing fiber-bound minerals from plant sources. They have been included to aid in the digestion of herbal supplements. They are also great for vegetarian diets!

Special Enzyme Blend-a proprietary blend of protease and lactase enzymes used to further enhance the digestion of dairy products. It is included to meet the special needs of people who suffer from lactose intolerance. n·zimes PA-L™ is a proprietary enzyme blend that is included as an alternative to animal based pancreatin enzymes. It is isolated from plant sources to further increase the body's ability to metabolize proteins, carbohydrates and fats. It is ideal for diets high in saturated fats.


Make it a great day!
