Carbozyme provides amylase, an enzyme that digests starch and carbohydrates in foods such as potatoes, rice, cereals, beans and all legumes. Amylase is normally produced by the salivary glands in the mouth, by the pancreas and by the small intestine. Its function is to breakdown carbohydrates, which are usually in the form of polysaccharides, to disaccharides and then to monosaccharides. Improper or incomplete digestion of carbohydrates may cause a variety of situations such as bloating, flatulence, low energy levels and improper digestion which reduces nutrient availability.
Improper or incomplete digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates can lead to a number of digestive difficulties. The protein digesting enzymes, bromelain and papain are found in pineapples and unripe papayas.
Digestaid is a high potency enzyme suitable for vegetarians and vegans, especially formulated for clinical ecologist, Gwynne Davies. It is an ideal digestive food supplement to improve nutrient availability from food.
Many people rely on cereals as part of their diet and their avoidance is often difficult, in particular when eating out. Wheat, rye barley and oats are commonly added to every day foods. These cereals contain a protein called gluten. Glutenzyme Plus is the first digestive enzyme specifically designed to break down the gluten proteins in cereals and grains.
PharmaGuard Intestinal Bowel Supplement combines five plant oils to help maintain the health andtranquility of the digestive system.
We have now introduced a digestive enzyme complex provided in a vegetable capsule for children. Digestive enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are active in the small intestine where they break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates into smaller particles. Improper digestion may be due to enzymatic insufficiency or reduced enzyme activity. Poor digestion has been associated with food intolerances, poor nutrient status and some digestive difficulties.
One in ten white Europeans and 80% of non-white races suffer from lactose intolerance, the latter group of individuals due to a genetic lack of lactase enzyme secretion. Lactase deficiency leads to the inability to digest the lactose (milk sugar) in dairy products.
BioCare's Liquid Lactase, which is derived from Aspergillus oryzae, has been shown to be effective in hydrolysing milk sugar (Lactose), thus enabling individuals that are lactose intolerant to drink and eat milk products such as yoghurt, cheese and ice cream.
Lipozyme provides lipase to help breakdown fats in the diet to a more assimilable form.
The function of lipase is to digest fats and break them down into a form which can be absorbed by the body i.e into glycerol and fatty acids. Lipase is normally secreted by the pancreas and the small intestine. Lipozyme may be helpful when the diet is high in fats, placing a burden on the digestion. Fat-soluble vitamins such as A, E, D and K are absorbed more efficiently from the gut along with dietary fats when broken down by lipase. Carotenoids such as beta carotene and lycopene are absorbed more efficiently with dietary fats.
Polyzyme Forte® is a mixture of digestive enzymes, which is enhanced with Lactobacillus acidophilus. Polyzyme Forte® is 100% U.K. origin and is the only vacuum packed, maximum potency digestive formula available.
One in ten white Eurpeans and 80% of non white races suffer from milk intolerance, the latter group of individuals due to a genetic lack of the correct enzyme secretion. Milk intolerance usually relates to an inability to digest lactose (milk sugar). However, there may sometimes be an intolerance to the protein in milk as well as malabsorption of milk fats. Prolactazyme Forte® is the most potent enzyme complex available in the U.K. which has been designed specifically to assist with the complete digestion of milk and milk products.
Spectrumzyme is a broad spectrum plant enzyme complex. It is a useful digestive support to help improve tolerance to a wider variety of foods especially for individuals following a restrictive diet.
Whole Linseeds (or Flax seeds as they are also known) are high in Omega 3, lignans and phospholipids, and can also provide bulk for colon cleanse.
Linseeds are one of the oldest known remedies for supporting the health of the colon. Linseeds have the richest source of Omega 3-type oils. They are helpful in adding bulk, which therefore helps in the process of moving fluids through the body.
