Natural Products to Improve Digestion

Digestion is at the core of maintaining good health. As you provide your body with essential nutrients and it breaks them down into usable fuel for energy, you create a solid foundation for health.

It’s Good to Break Down

Proactazyme

We’re not talking about cars or machines here. We’re talking about digestion. Enzymes are specialized proteins that speed up normal, necessary reactions in the body. Digestive enzymes can help make digestion infinitely more efficient.
Proactazyme provides natural, plant-based enzymes that break down starches, proteins and fats. It assists the stomach and small intestines in breaking down food into smaller particles, thereby enhancing proper digestion and helping to eliminate gas, occasional bloating and occasional indigestion.
Contains the following enzymes:

• A blend of proteases and peptidase—breaks down protein 
• Amylase, glucoamylase, malt diastase—digests starches (carbohydrates) 
• Invertase and alphagalactosidase—simplifies sugars 
• Lipase—breaks down fat into fatty acids and glycerides

 Proactazyme features a base of herbs that support digestion, including beet root, dandelion, fennel, gentian and ginger. You know this product is working when you eat a big meal and don’t feel the after-effects. 

Food Enzymes

All foods require processing (digesting), and enzymes are able to break down food compounds for assimilation into the bloodstream.  A number of different enzymes are needed to deal with differing food compounds. Some of these are produced by the body, some are found in foods. However, most processed foodslack the enzymes needed for proper digestion.
Food Enzymes formulation supplements the body’s production of these enzymes. For example, pepsin is used for the digestion of proteins in an acid environment (betaine hydrochloride or HCl); pancreatin is produced by the pancreas to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats in alkaline environments; mycozyme digests starches; papain and bromelain digest protein; bile salt makes fats soluble and prepares them for further digestion by lipase.
One capsule will help you digest a minimum of 30 grams of protein, 30 grams of carbohydrates and 20 grams of fats. Each capsule supplies, alpha-amylase (mycozyme) 90mg, betaine HCl 162mg, bile salt 40mg, bromelain 50mg, lipase 15 IU (contains lactose from milk), pancreatin 22mg, papain 45mg and pepsin 60mg.
When taken between meals, Food Enzymes acts systematically to help maintain a healthy immune system.
