Ingredient Overview

Protease - proteases refers to a group of enzymes
whose function is to break down proteins; they’re also
referred to as proteolytic enzymes or proteinases. The
proteins are broken down to their basic building blocks -
amino acids. In order to have the amino acids available
to the body, these enzymes have to break down the
proteins to free them; this important enzymatic
compound is the key to digestive health. This formula
contains four different proteases.

Peptidase - Peptidase contains a very high level of exo-
peptidase activity and is able to provide a high degree of
protein hydrolysis breaking down peptides completely
into amino acids. Peptidase works synergistically with
endogenous enzymes to provide protein digestion
throughout the entire digestive tract. Scientific evidence
suggests that proteolytic enzymes, such as peptidase,
can be useful supplements for digestive support,
immune support, cardiovascular support and general
nutritional support.

Amylase - amylase refers to a group of enzymes that
break down sugars and starches. They are required to
digest carbohydrates (polysaccharides) into smaller
units (disaccharides), and then, eventually converting
them into even smaller units (monosaccharide), such as
glucose.

Alpha-Galactosidase - this enzyme breaks down carbohydrates, such as raffinose, stachyose and
verbascose. It can help prevent gas and other gastrointestinal symptoms that occur after eating a high-fiber
diet of beans and grains.

Diastase – (AKA maltase) is an enzyme that is the catalyst in the hydrolysis of disaccharide maltose to the
simple sugar form – glucose. When starch is eaten, it is partially digested and transformed to maltose by both
the saliva enzymes and pancreatic enzymes called amylases. The maltase secreted in the intestines, converts
