Digezyme
Also known as digestive enzymes, plays a crucial role in breaking down food into essential nutrients. Here’s an in-depth look:
What are digestive enzymes?
Digestive enzymes are proteins that facilitate chemical reactions to decompose food into smaller molecules, enabling nutrient absorption.
Types of digestive enzymes:
- Amylase (carbohydrates)
- Protease (proteins)
- Lipase (fats)
- Cellulase (fiber)
- Lactase (lactose)
Benefits of Digezyme supplementation:
1. Improved digestion and nutrient absorption
2. Reduced symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
3. Relief from bloating, gas, and indigestion
4. Enhanced immune function
5. Support for digestive disorders (e.g., celiac, Crohn’s)
Ingredients in Digezyme:
- Amylase (Aspergillus oryzae)
- Protease (Aspergillus oryzae, Bacillus subtilis)
- Lipase (Aspergillus oryzae, Candida rugosa)
- Cellulase (Trichoderma reesei)
- Lactase (Aspergillus oryzae)
Dosage and timing:
- Typical dose: 1-2 capsules/tablets per meal
- Take with meals to aid digestion
Foods rich in digestive enzymes:
- Papaya (papain)
- Pineapple (bromelain)
- Ginger
- Fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut)
- Sprouted seeds and grains
Who may benefit from Digezyme supplementation:
- Individuals with digestive issues
- Those with compromised gut health
- Vegetarians and vegans
- Athletes and bodybuilders
- Older adults or individuals with enzyme deficiencies
