PLANT DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
What are digestive enzymes? The body needs digestive enzymes to break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates into their raw components. Efficient breaking down ensures your body gets the maximum nutrition from your food by ensuring optimum nutrient absorption and utilisation by your body.
Why you might need to supplement with digestive enzymes? We each have a finite reserve of digestive enzymes during our lifetime. This supply can become short with age, with illness and during periods of stress. Over time resulting poor digestion can lead to a whole host of conditions such as bloating, bad breath, coated tongue, indigestion, IBS, candida, flatulence, nutrient malnutrition and many more complaints.
MEET THE PLANT ENZYMES
BETAINE HYDROCHLORIDE
An acidic form of betaine – a vitamin-like substance found in grains and other foods. Used
to provide hydrochloric acid as an aid to digestion, as production seems to decline with age. A deficiency of gastric acid
secretion increases the likelihood of certain bacterial and parasitic intestinal infections. Too little hydrochloric acid also
impairs digestion of foods (especially protein) and the ultimate absorption of nutrients.
BROMELAIN
A proteolytic protein and high-fat meals digestion enzyme derived from the stem of the pineapple plant.
Used as a digestive aid, anti-inflammatory, smooth muscle relaxant, digestant and anti-oedema. It inhibits the
production of prostaglandins associated with inflammation and pain, while promoting the formation of prostaglandins
with anti-inflammatory actions. Also assists in reducing mucous congestion. Ideally taken with turmeric for digestive
problems. It can also aid the absorption of curcumin, the active component in turmeric.
PAPAIN A protein-digesting enzyme found in paw-paw (papaya) fruit.
PROTEASE An enzyme that helps with the digestion of protein.
AMYLASE An enzyme that helps to digest carbohydrates.
LIPASE A fat digestion enzyme. People with pancreatic insufficiency require lipas
