DIGESTIVE ENZYME - 50 capsules

What is Pure Nutrition DIGESTIVE ENZYME ?

DIGESTIVE ENZYME is a powerful and highly concentrated combination of digestive enzymes for better digestion.
The Pure Nutrition digestive matrix contains all the necessary enzymes to successfully absorb the various nutrients.

• proteolytic enzymes, that are required for protein metabolism
• lipases required for fat absorption
• amylases required for the breakdown of carbohydrates

Digestion and assimilation of nutrients is a complex process that lasts for several hours, starting from the moment you put food in your mouth. The pancreas is not actually an organ, but a long, triangular gland located deep inside the abdomen, between the spine and the stomach.

Pancreatic health can be impaired by:

• Alcohol
• Fried foods and very fatty or oily foods
• Foods that are overcooked and canned, including baked, baked or canned foods that lose some of their nutrients due to exposure to high heat
• Processed foods that contain synthetic additives

The pancreas is essential for both digestion and absorption of nutrients, as it releases pancreatic enzymes that facilitate the breakdown of food into smaller molecules - allowing the body to actually use fats, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and so on. onwards.

The role of digestive enzymes is primarily to act as catalysts to accelerate specific, life-sustaining chemical reactions in the body.
In essence, they help break down larger molecules into more easily digestible particles that the body can actually use to survive and thrive.

The most important enzymes for us are:

• Proteolytic (Protease)
• Proteases are a category of enzymes that help digest proteins. There are several different types, including trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase. They work by breaking down proteins (peptide bonds) into smaller and smaller peptides. Peptidases, which are found on the surface of the epithelial cells of the small intestine, are then able to break down the peptides into single amino acids ("building blocks of proteins").

Lipase
Lipase is produced by the pancreas and this enzyme helps break down fat. It converts triglycerides into 2-monoglycerides and two free fatty acids so that it can be absorbed through the intestinal mucosa. Pancreatic lipase is secreted into the intestinal lumen. In order for lipase to do its job properly, bile salts must also be present to help absorb fat. Lack of lipase interferes with the digestion of fats and the absorption of essential fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, E, D and K). It can also cause gastrointestinal problems, including diarrhea and / or fatty stools.

Amylase
Amylase (or alpha-amylase) is an enzyme secreted by the salivary glands and pancreas that helps digest carbohydrates. Amylase hydrolyzes starch into smaller molecules called maltose (glucose-glucose disaccharide) and the trisaccharide maltotriose. Some pancreatic amylase is present in saliva, helping to start the digestive process when you start chewing your food, but most is produced in the pancreas. Lack of amylase can cause digestive problems such as bloating, loose stools and diarrhea.
