Optimal Digestive System (Vegetarian Enzymes) – Efficient Digestion, Abdominal Comfort, Optimal Nutrient Absorption and Supporting Daily Energy

Optimal Digestive System, Vegetarian Enzymes from Now Foods is a complex enzyme supplement, designed to support complete digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, thus contributing to better digestive comfort and optimal use of nutrients from food. The formula is based on BioCore Optimum™, an advanced blend of enzymes of microbiological origin, obtained from sources such as Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger, Candida rugosa, Rhizopus oryzae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

By including enzymes such as amylase, multiple proteases, lipase, glucoamylase, invertase, diastase and alpha-galactosidase, this product covers a wide range of food substrates: starch, proteins, fats, complex sugars and fermentable fibers. Thus, Optimal Digestive System can be important support for people who feel discomfort after rich meals, for those with varied diets (including vegans and vegetarians), but also for those who want to maximize nutritional benefits of their diet.

Digestive enzymes act in complementing the body's own enzymes, helping "break down" foods into smaller, easily absorbable particles. When digestion is efficient, the body can better extract vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids needed for energy, regeneration and optimal function.

Detailed benefits of Optimal Digestive System (Vegetarian Enzymes)

• Supporting complete digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats

BioCore Optimum™ provides a broad spectrum of digestive enzymes, each having a specific role in breaking down macronutrients:
 

• Amylase, diastase and glucoamylase contribute to degradation of starch and complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars.

• Multiple proteases (at different activity units – HUT, BUC, AP, SAPU) act on proteins, transforming them into peptides and amino acids.

• Lipase, obtained from Candida rugosa, Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus oryzae, supports digestion of dietary fats.

Through this combination, Optimal Digestive System:
✅ Helps efficient fragmentation of foods into easily absorbable components
✅ Supports digestion of various types of meals – rich in carbohydrates, proteins or fats
✅ Contributes to a smoother digestive process, from stomach to intestine

• Reducing digestive discomfort after "heavy" meals

Difficulty in digesting certain foods can lead to bloating, feeling of fullness, gas or abdominal discomfort. By supporting food breakdown processes before they reach lower portions of the digestive tract, plant enzymes in Optimal Digestive System can:

✅ Reduce feeling of "heavy stomach" and fullness after meal
✅ Support diminishing excessive fermentations associated with incomplete digestion
✅ Contribute to better digestive comfort throughout the day

Thus, the product can be a useful ally for people who frequently feel discomfort after rich or varied meals.

• Optimizing nutrient absorption

A healthy diet is important, but equally important is the body's ability to absorb nutrients from food.

Digestive enzymes directly contribute to preparing nutrients for absorption:

• Proteases transform proteins into amino acids – needed for muscles, hormones and internal enzymes.

• Lipase facilitates release of fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins from fats.

• Amylase and glucoamylase support release of glucose from carbohydrates, providing energy.

By supporting these processes, Optimal Digestive System:
✅ Contributes to optimal use of vitamins, minerals and macronutrients
✅ Helps maximize benefits of balanced diet
✅ Supports body's regeneration and recovery processes, through increased nutrient availability

• Support for varied diets, rich in proteins and plant-based foods

Diets rich in proteins (athletes, people in body remodeling period) or predominantly plant diets (vegans, vegetarians) can put additional pressure on digestive system, especially in presence of fibers and fermentable carbohydrates.

Presence of multiple proteases, lipase and alpha-galactosidase in formula:
✅ Helps digest proteins from various sources (plant and animal)
✅ Supports breakdown of certain carbohydrates and oligosaccharides from legumes and vegetables
✅ Contributes to better digestive tolerance to meals rich in fiber and proteins

This makes the product suitable for people with diversified diets or high protein and plant food intake.

• Alpha-galactosidase – support for fermentable carbohydrate digestion

Alpha-galactosidase is a specialized enzyme in breaking down certain complex sugars (oligosaccharides) from foods such as beans, lentils, chickpeas or certain vegetables. When these sugars reach the large intestine undigested, they can be fermented by intestinal microbiota, producing gas and discomfort.

By including alpha-galactosidase (300 GaIU in 30 mg dose), Optimal Digestive System:
✅ Supports breakdown of hard-to-tolerate carbohydrates from legumes
✅ Can reduce discomfort associated with consumption of "gas-producing" foods
✅ Contributes to more comfortable digestion, even when menu includes vegetables rich in fiber and oligosaccharides

• Invertase and diastase – support for sugars and starch

Invertase and diastase are enzymes involved in transforming sugars and starch into simpler forms:
 

• Invertase breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose, facilitating their use by the body.

• Diastase supports starch degradation into dextrins and more easily metabolizable sugars.

Through these mechanisms, Optimal Digestive System:
✅ Helps more efficient processing of foods containing sugar and starch
✅ Can contribute to reducing digestive system overload following carbohydrate-rich meals
✅ Supports constant energy flow, through gradual release of carbohydrates

• Supporting energy through efficient digestion

When digestion is efficient, the body receives necessary energy from food faster and more consistently, without "peaks" and sudden "drops" sometimes associated with heavy meals or slow digestion.

Plant enzymes in this product contribute to:
✅ Faster transformation of nutrients into forms usable by body
✅ Supporting general state of vitality after meals
✅ Reducing "post-meal fatigue" sensation that some people feel

By improving quality of digestive process, Optimal Digestive System indirectly supports energy level and ability to continue daily activities in comfort conditions.

• Vegetarian formula, adapted to modern lifestyle

Enzymes in Optimal Digestive System are of microbiological origin, which makes them suitable for people with vegetarian diet or for those who prefer non-animal origin products.

In addition, the formula is designed to:
✅ Be easy to integrate into daily routine, regardless of diet type
✅ Support body in face of varied meals, sometimes rich or consumed on the go
✅ Contribute to more efficient digestion in context of modern lifestyle, marked by stress and often irregular diet

Through complex combination of plant enzymes and their synergistic action on carbohydrates, proteins and fats, Optimal Digestive System (Vegetarian Enzymes), Now Foods, offers important support for digestion, abdominal comfort, optimal nutrient absorption and maintaining general state of energy and vitality.
