Higher Nature
Higher Nature have introduced Food FormTM
vitamins and minerals to the UK and Europe. Their 'True Food CTM' was
the first nutrition supplement product in the UK and Europe to provide
a concentrated source of vitamin C truly bonded to proteins, carbohydrates
and lipids in exactly the same was as in an orange.
Higher Nature state that 'by pre-digesting
the Ultra Food FormTM range of nutrients, they ensure that people with
food sensitivities or allergies will not react to these supplements.
Why? Because food allergies are triggered by long chain proteins and
polysaccharides in foods.
In Higher Nature Ultra Food FormTM nutrition
supplements these big molecules have been pre-digested and broken down
by natural enzymes, making absorption easy, and sensitivity reactions
very unlikely.
Digestive Enzymes
Proper digestion is one of the body’s most important physiological functions
in maintaining overall health and wellness. Maintaining normal digestion
aids in proper absorption and elimination.
When digestion is incomplete or disordered, food and other nutritional
substances don’t break down and assimilate properly – so you can’t obtain
their full nutritional value. In addition, food molecules that have
not been completely digested can be inappropriately absorbed into the
systemic circulation, contributing to a variety of food associated disorders,
such as food intolerance. Incomplete digestion of proteins, fats and
carbohydrates may also contribute to nutritional deficiency.
Natural digestive enzymes and emulsifying agents are excellent aids
to the digestive and absorption processes.
Two important digestive enzymes are extracted from tropical fruits.
Papain, from papayas, has a mild, soothing effect on the stomach and
helps aid in protein digestion. Bromelain, from pineapple, also helps
aid protein digestion.
Amylase digests starch and carbohydrates in foods such as potatoes,
rice, cereals, beans and all legumes. Amylase is produced by the salivary
glands in the mouth, by the pancreas and by the small intestine. Improper
or incomplete digestion of carbohydrates may cause a variety of symptoms
such as bloatedness, flatulence, low energy levels and other digestive
problems. It may also reduce the body’s ability to absorb nutrients
from foods containing carbohydrates.
Lactase has been shown to be effective in breaking down milk sugar (lactose).
Lipase helps to break down fats in the diet to a more assimilable form
which can be absorbed by the body (i.e. into glycerol and fatty acids).
Lipase is secreted by the pancreas and the small intestine. Supplemental
lipase may be helpful when the diet is high in fats, placing a burden
on the digestion. Fat-soluble vitamins such as A, E, E and K are absorbed
more efficiently from the gut along with dietary fats. Carotenoids such
as beta carotene and lycopene are absorbed more efficiently with dietary
fats.
Sucrase, maltase and lactase break down complex sugars into simple sugars.
