Ultimate
Digestive Enzymes™ includes the seven basic types
of digestive enzymes: Amylase, cellulase, lactase, lipase,
maltase, protease and sucrase.
Key
Ingredients:
PROTEASE: is
one of the most effective digestive enzymes secreted in
high concentrations by the human body. It is found in the
stomach and pancreatic juices and helps to digest protein.
The protein is broken down into its basic building blocks,
amino acids. Amino acids can be considered as enzyme carriers
whose function is to transport enzymes to various functions
in the body. Candidas and allergies affect millions of
people. Allergians and antigens such as virus’, bacteria,
fungi, and yeast are most often proteins. Protease is needed
to digest and eliminate these toxic invaders not only in
the digestive tract but the blood stream as well.
AMYLASE: is
one of the two most effective digestive enzymes secreted
in high concentrations by the human body. Amylase, found
in saliva, helps break down sugars and starches. If your
diet is high in carbohydrates, a deficiency of amylase may
occur, since this enzyme would be used up by the body at
a tremendous rate. Without this enzyme your body may store
these carbohydrates as fat.
LIPASE: helps
to break down and digest fats and lipids which frees fatty
acids and converts them into energy. Digesting fats and lipids
are more difficult since they have to be carried by a water
based transport system, the blood and lymph. A deficiency
of lipase may lead to high cholesterol, high urine sugar
levels, a tendency to develop diabetes, and can hinder weight
loss.
LACTASE: is an intestinal enzyme required to break down
lactose (milk sugar). Humans produce peak amounts of lactase
in infancy, when milk is necessary for survival; thereafter,
the supply begins to diminish. Many people cannot digest
more than a small amount of milk because of a deficiency
of lactase. If the intestines do not produce enough lactase,
the milk sugar is not digested and moves into the colon,
where it is fermented by bacteria – producing hydrogen,
carbon dioxide and organic acids, which can result in diarrhea,
gas, and cramps.
MALTASE
helps break down maltose (malt sugars), which are
an intermediate product in the digestion of starch. When
starch is eaten, it is partially digested and transformed
to maltose by both the saliva enzymes and pancreatic enzymes
called amylase. Maltase then converts this maltose into
a more ready usable sugar glucose, or the glucose could
be stored in the liver for future use.
CELLULASE is the enzyme that breaks down cellulose or fiber.
Plants are a person’s only source of cellulase as
the human body is unable to produce it. Cellulase functions
by disrupting the structure of the fiber membrane, which
increases the nutritional value of fruits, vegetables and
grains.
SUCRASE is
a digestive enzyme, which breaks down sugars (sucrose) found
in some vegetables and many fruits, and sugar derived
from sugar cane, sugar beets, sorghum, molasses or maple sugar.
Sucrase is beneficial in helping prevent gastrointestinal problems
and discomfort.
