Lamberts Digestizyme
(plant sourced enzymes)
Digestive enzymes are secreted into
the digestive tract to break down food matter into its component
nutrients. These can then be absorbed across the gut wall into the
bloodstream. If this enzyme system does not work effectively,
undigested food passing into the large intestine will be fermented
by the resident bacteria, causing flatulence, bloating and
diarrhoea.
Digestizyme® provides a broad spectrum of plant-sourced enzymes,
which digest protein, fat and carbohydrate. Lamberts have chosen
enzymes that are largely resistant to degradation caused by the
highly acidic conditions in the stomach so that they may reach the
small intestine where most digestion takes place. Supplied in
gelatin-free capsules.

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.
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. |
