Complex formula for enzymatic support of digestion and absorption of nutrients through synergistic action in the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver and pancreas.

Digestive enzymes are an essential component of the digestive system. Without enzymes, the body could not break down food and the nutrients contained in it could not be completely absorbed. The lack or insufficiency of digestive enzymes causes a whole series of gastrointestinal disorders and predisposes to malnutrition, even if a healthy and varied diet is consumed.


The human body secretes a variety of enzymes that participate in the breakdown of food. They are produced by the salivary glands and cells found in the mucous membranes of the stomach, pancreas and small intestine. They are released both in anticipation of the feeding process, when we smell and taste the food, as well as throughout the digestion process. Some foods naturally contain digestive enzymes that contribute to the breakdown and absorption of certain nutrients. Digestive enzyme deficiencies are associated with many types of health problems, especially those affecting the pancreas. It secretes several key enzymes.

 

Types of digestive enzymes

Each of the digestive enzymes participates in the breakdown of a specific nutrient in a form that can be absorbed by the body. The most important digestive enzymes are:
 

• Lactase

It is a type of enzyme that breaks down lactose, a sugar found in dairy products, into simple sugars - glucose and galactose. Lactase is produced by cells called enterocytes found in the intestinal mucosa. Lactose that is not absorbed ferments under the influence of intestinal bacteria and causes gas and discomfort.
 

• Lipase

Lipase is responsible for breaking down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. It is produced in small quantities in the oral cavity and in the stomach and in large quantities in the pancreas.
 

• Proteases

Also called peptidases, these digestive enzymes break down proteins into amino acids. In addition, it plays a role in numerous processes, including cell division, blood clotting and immune system function. Proteases are produced by the stomach and pancreas.
 

• Cellulase

Cellulase is an enzyme produced by fungi, bacteria or protozoa, responsible for the enzymatic processing of cellulose and some polysaccharides. Cellulose is an organic compound with a structural role at the plant cell level.






 

Digestive Enzymes Benefits

 

• good functioning of the digestive system and maintaining a normal appetite
• support for the limitation of manifestations in the case of hydrochloric acid deficits, digestive enzymes (proteases, lactases, amylases, lipases, alpha d-galactosidase), unbalanced nutrition, difficult mastication (e.g.: changes in transit, intestinal gases, gastric reflux, condition of nausea, feeling of early satiety, food intolerance to gluten and lactose, etc.)
• support of pancreatic lipase action; offers support in supporting normal hepatic bile secretion, with a role in lipid emulsification
• supporting the absorption of vitamin B12, fat-soluble vitamins, iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc
• maintaining the physiological pH at the gastric level
• supporting the reduction of digestive, ENT, broncho-pulmonary, urogenital, cutaneous, osteoarticular, vascular manifestations, by maintaining the normal number of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g.: IL1, TNF-α) and by supporting the synthesis of prostaglandins, with supportive action of the structure and health of the digestive mucosa
• maintaining normal blood flow and circulation by favoring the reduction of platelet aggregation (it interferes with the action of fibrin, the protein found in blood and lymph and formed from fibrinogen during blood coagulation)
• supporting the normal tissue regeneration process
• support for the reduction of vascular and neurological manifestations associated with increased blood glucose (maintains the normal level of advanced glycosylation products - AGEs)

 

Enzyme deficiency and its causes

It is possible that you need treatment for the lack of digestive enzymes, especially if you suffer from exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, a condition in which the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes to support the digestion of food. Other diseases that can cause the lack or insufficiency of digestive enzymes are:

• Chronic pancreatitis
• Pancreatic cysts or benign tumors
• Blockage or narrowing of a pancreatic or bile duct
• Pancreatic cancer
• Cystic fibrosis
• Diabetes

If you suffer from exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, digestion can become slow and will be accompanied by discomfort. The condition frequently causes malnutrition. Symptoms include: bloating, gas, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, yellow stools, weight loss.

Even if you do not have pancreatic insufficiency, you may have problems with certain foods. Lactose intolerance is a good example. A food supplement that contains the enzyme lactase can help you digest foods that contain lactose.

Other factors that influence the quantity and quality of digestive enzymes are a diet rich in sugar and processed foods, frequent use of antibiotics, smoking, advanced age, pregnancy, stress.
