Lamberts Digestizyme
(plant sourced enzymes)
Digestive enzymes are secreted into the
digestive tract to break down food matter into its component nutrients.
These can then be absorbed across the gut wall into the bloodstream.
If this enzyme system does not work effectively, undigested food passing
into the large intestine will be fermented by the resident bacteria,
causing flatulence, bloating and diarrhoea.
Digestizyme® provides a broad spectrum of plant-sourced enzymes, which
digest protein, fat and carbohydrate. Lamberts have chosen enzymes that
are largely resistant to degradation caused by the highly acidic conditions
in the stomach so that they may reach the small intestine where most
digestion takes place. Supplied in gelatin-free capsules.

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.
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.
