Similase
Plant Enzyme Digestive Formula
Why take Similase?
Disordered or incomplete digestion can be a major contributor to the
development of numerous health problems. Chronic digestive problems
can lead to the development of sensitivities as well as an imbalance
of gut flora and the build up of toxins. These toxins may enter the
systemic circulation, compromising health further.
How does Similase work?
Similase is a highly concentrated plant
enzyme digestive formula that is stable and active from the acid
environment of the stomach to the alkaline environment of the
small intestine (pH2-12). Derived from natural sources, this
formula is well tolerated in sensitive conditions and provides
balanced support for the digestion of fats, carbohydrates and
proteins.
This product contains traces of
milk and is therefore unsuitable for those with a
severe (anaphylactic) reaction to milk; however, it
continues to be suitable for those who are lactose or dairy
intolerant.
Benefits of a Plant-Based Enzyme Formula
(please
read this important notice concerning supplement medical claims)
• Aids digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fibre and sugars.
• Active across a wide range of pH conditions – from pH1 to pH12.
• Helps to break down food in the stomach for around 30-60 minutes or
more before stomach contents are passed into the intestines. Digestive
enzymes help support the optimal absorption of nutrients from food.
• Helps to break down potentially antigenic constituents such as wheat
and milk proteins.
• Maintains stability in the acid environment of the stomach, unlike
animal-derived pancreatic enzymes.
• Well-tolerated by sensitive individuals.

Features
- Enzymes are necessary for the
digestion of large molecule macronutrients (proteins,
carbohydrates and
fats) into small molecules that may be absorbed.
- Protease breaks down proteins into
absorbable peptides and amino acids.
- Lipase breaks down triglycerides
into absorbable free fatty acids and glyercol.
- Only monosaccharides can be
absorbed by the intestine. Starches and dissacharides must
be broken down
into single sugar units before being absorbed. Amylase
breaks down starch. Maltase, lactase and sucrase
break down the dissacharides maltose (malt sugar), lactose
(milk sugar) and sucrose (table sugar) into
monosaccharides for absorption.
- Cellulase and phytase break down
cellulose and phytates which can bind essential minerals and
other
nutrients, preventing their absorption.
Recommendation
1-2 capsules taken at the beginning of each meal, for an average
total intake of 6capsules daily, or as directed.
Caution
Not recommended for individuals with gastritis or ulcers.
Not recommended for individuals
with gastric or duodenal ulcers, or with active gastritis. People with gastritis
or ulcers are directed to
