-
Protease Blend
- Blend of 5 proteolysis enzymes including peptidase which aid in the
digestion and utilization of dietary proteins. Helps deliver the specific
nutrients necessary for muscle and tissue repair, as well as for vibrant
immune system function.
-
Amylase
-
digests starch and carbohydrates. Acts in concert with Protease to stimulate
immune system function. Acts in association with lipase to digest fragments
of viruses and reduce inflammation and infections.
-
Lipase
-
digests fats, thereby aiding in weight control, maintaining and enhancing
cardiovascular health, and helping maintain proper gall bladder function.
-
Glucoamylase
-
breaks down carbohydrates, specifically polysaccharides.
-
Malt Diastase
(Maltase)
-
digests maltose, malt and grain sugars. May help relieve environmental
sensitivities and allergies.
-
Invertase
(Sucrase)
-
digests sugars. Beneficial in helping prevent gastrointestinal problems and
discomfort.
-
Alpha-Galactosidase
-
aids in the digestion of difficult to digest foods such as beans, legumes
and cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower.
-
Lactase
-
digests the milk sugar lactose. Extremely useful for individuals suffering
from lactose intolerance. May be beneficial for those suffering from
irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive disorders in which a high
percentage are adversely effected by dairy products.
-
Cellulase
-
digests fiber cellulose into smaller units which include D-glucose. Helps
remedy digestive problems such as malabsorption. Cellulase is a very
important enzyme because the human body cannot produce it on its own.
-
Xylanase
-
breaks down the sugar xylose.
-
Pectinase
-
breaks down carbohydrates such as pectin (found in many fruits).
-
Hemicellulase
-
breaks down carbohydrates called hemi-celluloses, which are found in plant
foods.
-
Mannanase
-
digest the sugar known as mannose.
-
Phytase
-
breaks down carbohydrates, specifically phytates (phytic acid), present in
many difficult to digest grains and beans. Especially useful for those
suffering from serious bowel disorders which result in an inability to
handle phytates from soy and gluten from wheat, oats, rye and barley.
Phytase may increase mineral absorption and the bioavailability of iron,
zinc, calcium, and magnesium.
-
Beta-Glucanase
-
breaks down polysaccharides and fibers known as beta glucans.
-
Arabinosidase
-
digests the sugar arabinose.
-
Bromelain
-
an enzyme from the stem of pineapples, breaks down protein and fights
inflammation and reduces swelling. May speed the recovery of injuries and
swelling resulting from athletics, childbirth and surgery.
-
Papain
-
similar to the chymotrypsin, a protein digesting enzyme produced by the
body. Used to treat chronic diarrhea and celiac disease. Treats
gastrointestinal discomfort due to intestinal parasites.
