Vitalzym Digest

• Vitälzӯm® Digest is a blend of powerful enzymes specifically formulated to help the body's normal metabolic processes support both digestive function and nutrient absorption.
• Vitälzӯm® Digest supports the breakdown of complex proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. 
• The body naturally produces sufficient enzymes to maintain optimal health.
• However, as one ages, the body's production of enzymes decreases, which may reduce normal body functions' efficiency. Vitälzӯm® Digest is designed to support the body in facilitating the building blocks for health and well-being. 

Protein Digestion

• Protease, protease, peptidase – Proteolytic enzymes can help support optimal digestion.
• Their primary function is to help digest different kinds of proteins into smaller chains of amino acids.
• Without proteases, the intestinal lining would not be able to absorb proteins.
• Bromelain and Papain – Bromelain and papain are the proteolytic enzymes that help break down a wide variety of protein molecules in a range of both acidic and alkaline environments.
• They are used to help support maximum digestive health. 

Carbohydrate Digestion

• Amylase, malt diastase, glucoamylase, beta-glucanase – These enzymes help take the heavy load off our digestive processes.
• It can also support common digestive upsets such as heaviness, lethargy, bloating, or gas.
• Invertase, lactase – These enzymes assist with the breakdown of sugars, such as dairy, into glucose, fructose, and galactose.
• Glucose is directly absorbed into the bloodstream during digestion to supply the body with energy.
• Pectinase, cellulase, hemicellulase, alpha-galactosidase – These refer to a group of enzymes acting together, hydrolyze pectin, cellulose, and hemicellulose.
• Hemicellulase and cellulose break down the carbohydrates in plant cell walls. Alpha galactosidase is an enzyme that helps support maximum digestive health. 
• Phytase, xylanase – Phytase, and xylanase help support the breakdown of phytic acid and hemicelluloses. They allow more nutrients to be released from vegetables that have higher fiber content.
• Phytase breaks down indigestible phytic acid, and as a result, can support maximum digestive health. 

Fat Digestion

• Lipase – Lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis in which solid fats and oils are taken apart into their components. 

Ingredients:

• Alpha Galactosidase – Alpha Galactosidase is an enzyme that helps support bloating, abdominal distension, and flatulence.
• Amylase – Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars — often used in fermentation.
• Bromelain – Bromelain is an extract derived from the stem of the pineapple.
• Cellulase and Hemicellulase – Crucial for the breaking down of carbohydrates in plant cell walls.
• Beta Glucanas – An enzyme that breaks down glucans, polysaccharides made of several glucose sub-units.
• Glucoamylase – Glucoamylase works together with sucrase-isomaltase and alpha-amylase to digest the full range of dietary starches in the small intestine.
• Peptidase – Proteolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes peptides (protein) into amino acids
