Udo's Choice Digestive Enzyme
Blend
A complete blend of ten
active plant-based enzymes, assisting the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates,
proteins, sugars and fibre, aiding a healthy digestion and nutrient
absorption. Udo's Digestive Enzymes support a hectic lifestyle and modern
diets that are lacking in enzyme-containing raw foods (these naturally
occurring enzymes are often lost in the preparation and cooking processes
This
unique Enzyme blend:
Guarantees enzyme activity
- the primary, internationally accepted standard for
manufacture and measurement of
enzyme activity is the Food Chemical Codex (FCC). The Udo's Choice Digestive
Blend is made according to FCC methods and uses the FCC unit measuring
system to define enzyme potency/activity.
A full range of ten different digestive enzymes
- required to break down and
metabolise the full range of food types
- protein, fat, starch, soluble and insoluble fibre, milk sugar, and other
complex sugars.
A super-rich source of protein-digesting
enzymes - Udo's Blend uses at least
five kinds of proteases/proteinases
as undigested proteins are the main cause of the food-related digestive
complaints that are rampant in our society - especially in those over 40
years old, but sometimes even in children.
Precision and Balance
- this Enzyme Blend contains high potency enzymes to
replace those destroyed during the cooking and processing of foods. The
enzyme combinations it contains are deliberately chosen and precisely
balanced to optimise the body's utilisation of nutrients.
The Preferred Packaging in Vegetable Capsules
- which, unlike tablets, can be
pulled apart to mix the enzymes into
foods 15-30 minutes before they are eaten for maximum results.
Beetroot fibre is used as a primary filler
- which is unrelated to wheat and safe
for those allergic to wheat,
gluten or gliadin.
100% Plant-based Digestive Enzyme Help
- this Digestive Enzyme Blend is
made from 100% vegetarian-source
aspergillus and other micro-organisms. The enzymes produced by the
micro-organisms used have a strong record of safe use in the food industry
and are suitable for both vegetarians and meat eaters.

What are Digestive
Enzymes?
The human body makes more than
3,000 kinds of enzymes that speed up chemical reactions and save energy.
Digestive enzymes, which are only a few of the thousands of known enzymes,
break down the foods we eat into basic building blocks that our body then
absorbs and reassembles to build cells, tissues, organs, glands and body
systems. If our digestion is compromised then so is our health.
No matter what we eat all
our foods are made from proteins, fats, carbohydrates and a few other
complex molecules. Each require different enzymes to break them down into
amino acids, fatty acids, glucose and other basic building blocks. Protease
digests proteins; lipase digests fats; amylase digests starch; etc.
Where do Digestive
Enzymes come from?
Two main sources:
- Internal: the
digestive system secretes a few digestive enzymes in the mouth and
stomach, but most are secreted by the pancreas and small intestine; and
- External: foods that
are raw, sprouted or soaked or supplements of digestive enzymes from
plant or animal sources.
