Description
Digest-Aid is:
- One of the most comprehensive enzyme supplements available
today.* - A broad-spectrum multiple enzyme formulation that contains 7 digestive
enzymes along with ox bile, pancreas substance and betaine
hydrochloride.
Digestive enzymes are beneficial for:
- Geriatric individuals (as we age, enzyme secretion decreases)*
- Those with jaw or teeth problems (improper chewing of food decreases
enzyme secretion)* - Those under stress*
- Those who overuse antacids (overuse of antacids can decrease
enzyme effectiveness and secretion)* - Those who eat a lot of fried, grilled or baked foods (foods prepared
at high temperatures for long periods of time lose naturally occurring
enzyme activity)* - People with deficient digestive enzymes (those who lack digestive
enzymes are more prone to digestive problems)* - For use as a proteolytic enzyme supplement*
- Digest-Aid places special emphasis on proteolytic enzymes, so that it
can be used not only for digestive support, but also to support comfort
and provide building blocks for injured tissues.* - Digestive enzymes are secreted along the G.I. tract and are essential
to the breakdown of foods, enabling nutrients to be absorbed into the
bloodstream for use within the body.
Each enzyme in Digest-Aid works on a specific substance in the body. - Lipase enzymes help digest and assimilate fats.*
- Protease enzymes including bromelain, pepsin, trypsin and papain
all digest proteins into smaller units (peptides and amino acids) for
better absorption and utilization.* - Ox Bile aids in fat digestion by emulsifying fats in the small intestine
for fat absorption.* - Amylase enzymes breakdown carbohydrates.*
- Cellulase enzymes digest fiber.*
- Betaine Hydrochloride provides a source of hydrochloric acid,
which is not considered a digestive enzyme, but is necessary for the
proper function of enzymes.
Enteric coated - Ox Bile and Pancreas Substance are enteric coated to ensure their
release in the body at the proper digestive interval.
