DigestZyme was formulated to assist the process of food digestion in the stomach, reducing the digestive stress
on the pancreas. If you are seeking ways to keep the digestive system healthy you will appreciate learning about
enzymes.

Component Benefits
Protease Blend
Consists of alkaline, neutral and acid proteases plus peptidase. Our protease blend includes proteases that are
active in a wide range of pH’s, ensuring that protein digestion will begin in the stomach. It also includes enzymes
with a wide range of specificities (i.e. both endo- and exo- peptidase) in order to ensure the highest degree of
protein degradation.
Lipase
A lipid (fat) digesting enzyme from Aspergillus oryzae. Incomplete digestion of fat allows fat to coat food particles
and therefore interferes with the hydrolysis of other food components such as protein and carbohydrates. Normal digestion
of dietary fat is accomplished by lipases with the assistance of bile, which is produced by the liver and normally
supplied by way of the gallbladder. The function of bile is to bring ingested fats into emulsion to facilitate the
work of the lipases.
Incomplete digestion of fats may result in diarrhea and/or, more seriously, essential fatty acid deficiency. Adequate
absorption of essential fatty acids is necessary to maintain membrane structure in cells throughout the body and
to maintain healthy skin. Essential fatty acid deficiency also reduces blood clotting time. Additional enzymes (protease
blend, amylase, cellulase) are included to enhance the performance of the other ingredients.
Amylase
Supplementation with amylase allows digestion of carbohydrates during their transit through the gastrointestinal
tract. These enzymes can tolerate the low pH of the gastric juice. The amylase hydrolyzes the starchy foods and liberates
maltoses.
Cellulase
To help digest the cellulose in the diet.
Lactase
To assist in the digestion of lactose from milk and other dairy products.
Invertase
To assist in the digestion of monosacharides (sugar).
Maltase
To help digest maltose resulting from the amylase hydrolysis of starch.
Lactobacilus Acidophilus – Bifobacterium Longum
Probiotics, often called “friendly flora,” assist the lower digestive tract (colon) to help maintain the
proper distribution of good bacteria and also help maintain the proper pH balance by encouraging the formation of
lactic acid. Lactic acid lowers the pH of the colon, helping to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
