Belly-Ease™ Chewable Enzymes, Pre-biotics and Probiotics

New Belly-Ease™ Chewable has Multiple Approaches to Digestive Health:

Protease 4.5 , 6.0 , 3.0 and Peptidase- proteases refers to a group of enzymes whose function is to break down proteins; they are 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 compound is the key to digestive health. Belly-Ease™ Chewable Chewable formula contains three different proteases. 

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

NWC-APL:- Vegetarian alternative that mimics pancreatin, with lipase. 

Diastase - diastase 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 this maltose into the usable sugar, glucose. The glucose can be used immediately or stored in the liver for future use. 

Lipase - lipase is the enzyme required to break down fats and lipids. In order for fat to be digested properly, the liver must first start the process by emulsifying the large fat molecules. Then bile breaks them down to small droplets, allowing the lipase to start its work. 

NEW! Lactase – lactase is produced in the small intestine and is required to break down lactose (a primary sugar found in mammalian milk) into two simple sugars. It is mandatory in the digestion of milk and milk products. People, who do not make any lactase, or enough lactase, are considered lactose intolerant. 

Glucoamylase - glucoamylase is used to breakdown carbohydrates, specifically polysaccharides. 

Invertase - invertase this enzyme breaks down carbohydrates, especially sucrose. 

Cellulase and Pectinase - Help digest protein molecules. Four varieties of protease enzymes have been combined in this formula to compensate for higher protein diets. 

Alpha-Galactosidase- Help digest simple and complex carbohydrates and starches, i.e. pastas, breads or starchy vegetables like potatoes. 

Phytase, Hemicellulase and Xylanase - Specifically help with releasing fiber-bound minerals from plant sources. They have been included to aid in the digestion of herbal supplements. They are also great for vegetarian diets! 

NEW! Exopeptidase, Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV - It seems reasonable that if supplemental DPP IV and DCP 1 were ingested in conjunction with a gluten containing food, the protein could be efficiently broken down prior to the entrance into the small intestine. 

DPP IV should not be considered as an option in lieu of a gluten-free diet because its usefulness is limited to mild intolerance, and as an adjunct to help avoid repercussions from inadvertent exposure to gluten. 

ProBiotics are organisms and substances that help improve the environment of the intestinal tract. These organisms produce acids (such as acetic acid and lactic acid) and other compounds, which inhibit the growth of "bad" bacteria and promote “good” intestinal flora. 

Our new now 14 probiotics

Lactobacillus Acidophilus- is the most effective pro-biotic strain. Called the "sticker strain," Acidophilus has the ability to actually cling to the intestinal wall without harming it. In fact, it is best known for its ability to move un-disrupted through the stomach and into the intestines where it eats away at the bad bacteria. It is known for reducing the occurrence of constipation and diarrhea, increasing nutrient uptake (especially calcium).  

Reuteri- Although L. reuteri occurs naturally in humans, it is not found in all individuals. Therefore, dietary supplementation is needed to introduce and maintain high levels of it in some people. Oral intake of L. reuteri has been shown to effectively colonize the intestine of healthy people; colonization begins rapidly within days of ingestion, although the levels in the body drop within several months after intake is stopped. Furthermore, L. reuteri is found in breast milk, and oral intake on the mother's part likewise increases the amount of L. reuteri present in her milk, and the likelihood that it will be transferred to the child's body. Once present in the body, L. reuteri benefits its host in a variety of ways, particularly by fighting off harmful infections and mediating the body's immune system.

B. Longum – Aids in the cleansing and health of the colon and liver. It is also known for supporting normal breast health. 

L. Casei - Is known for its ability to support a healthy immune response that is helpful in supporting a healthy urinary tract.

L. Plantarum - Can be found in naturally fermented foods. In your body it is found in the large intestine where it helps to break down protein into usable nutrients, thus normalizing inflammation. 

L. Lactis - Helpful with digestive issues and inflammation of any part of the digestive tract. 

B. Bifidum: Is a normal inhabitant of the intestines. Found in large numbers, the numbers of bifidobacteria decrease with age. B. bifidum helps detoxify the intestines and promote regular bowel movements.

Bacillus coagulans: Supports a good immune system. This strain of good bacteria is particularly robust. It’s able to withstand extreme environments, such as high levels of acid, in the stomach. Whish makes it great for implantation.

L Fermentum: Is a Gram-positive species of bacterium in the genus Lactobacillus. it is a probiotic that supports the immune response, supports good liver health and cholesterol levels. 

B. Lactis: Is a Gram-positive anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium, which can be found in the large intestines of most humans.

L. Brevis: Can be isolated from the food sources in inhabits, one example being kimchi. This bacteria is a good probiotic, and supports the immune system.  

L. Helveticus: Is gaining also importance as health-promoting culture in probiotics. It has the potential to produce bioactive peptides or bacteriocins and exert symbiotic effect when associated with prebiotics.  

E. Faecium: Provides several benefits to including aiding digestion and helping to maintain a healthy mix of bacteria in the stomach.

L. Bulgaricus: Is one of several good bacteria used for the production of yogurt. It is also found in other naturally fermented products.

Whole food Vitamin C - from Amla Fruit, also known as Indian gooseberry, is one of the richest natural sources of bioflavonoides and Vitamin C. Native to India, the plum sized fruit is revered for its anti-aging and immune enhancing properties. 

Zinc - serves many functions, including acting as a constituent to at least 25 enzymes involved in digestion and metabolism. Research indicates that the health of the bodies natural killer cells may be dependent on zinc intake for normal growth and development. Zinc is very important for proper function of the thymus gland and thymus hormones, as well as cellular immunity.
