amino acids and polypeptides
· Lipase helps with the efficient digestion of fats and oils
· Amylase is required for the complete digestion of carbohydrates
· Lactase, sucrase and maltase hydrolyse complex sugars into simple
sugars
· L.acidophilus helps to maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microflora
· Contains 430mg of pure enzymes in each capsule and is two to three
times more potent than many animal based enzyme products
· Vacuum packed to maintain potency, stability and shelf-life of the

Digestive Enzymes
Proper digestion is one of the body’s most important physiological functions in
maintaining overall health and wellness. Maintaining normal digestion aids in proper
absorption and elimination.
When digestion is incomplete or disordered, food and other nutritional substances
don’t break down and assimilate properly – so you can’t obtain their full nutritional
value. In addition, food molecules that have not been completely digested can be
inappropriately absorbed into the systemic circulation, contributing to a variety
of food associated disorders, such as food intolerance. Incomplete digestion of
proteins, fats and carbohydrates may also contribute to nutritional deficiency.
Natural digestive enzymes and emulsifying agents are excellent aids to the digestive
and absorption processes.
Two important digestive enzymes are extracted from tropical fruits. Papain, from
papayas, has a mild, soothing effect on the stomach and helps aid in protein digestion.
Bromelain, from pineapple, also helps aid protein digestion.
Amylase digests starch and carbohydrates in foods such as potatoes, rice, cereals,
beans and all legumes. Amylase is produced by the salivary glands in the mouth,
by the pancreas and by the small intestine. Improper or incomplete digestion of
carbohydrates may cause a variety of symptoms such as bloatedness, flatulence, low
energy levels and other digestive problems. It may also reduce the body’s ability
to absorb nutrients from foods containing carbohydrates.
Lactase has been shown to be effective in breaking down milk sugar (lactose).
Lipase helps to break down fats in the diet to a more assimilable form which can
be absorbed by the body (i.e. into glycerol and fatty acids). Lipase is secreted
by the pancreas and the small intestine. Supplemental lipase may be helpful when
the diet is high in fats, placing a burden on the digestion. Fat-soluble vitamins
such as A, E, E and K are absorbed more efficiently from the gut along with dietary
fats. Carotenoids such as beta carotene and lycopene are absorbed more efficiently
with dietary fats.
Sucrase, maltase and lactase break down complex sugars into simple sugars.
