| Sometimes healthy
eating habits are not enough to ensure that we absorb the full
nutritional value from our food. ESSENTIAL ENZYMES supports
your systems for digestion of multiple food groups: carbohydrates,
protein, fat and fiber. |

|
| Carbohydrate Digestive
System |
| Action:
The first step in digestion occurs in the mouth, where the digestion
of carbohydrates is initiated. Amylase,the enzyme contained
in saliva, converts starch (a form ofcarbohydrate) into simpler
sugars. This process is completed when the pancreas secretes
more amylase into the small intestine.Lactase supports the break
down of lactose, sugar from milk that many populations are unable
to digest. |

Content:
Amylase, Amyloglucosidase, Lactase |
| Protein Digestive
System |
| Action:
In the stomach, food is broken down further by churning and
the action of the gastric juice, which contains pepsin and hydrochloric
acid. Pepsin,a protease enzyme that depends on the highly acidic
(pH 1.5 to 2.5) environment of the stomach for functioning,
begins the process of breaking down protein intopeptides and
amino acids. The food, at this stage called "chyme,"
then continues on to the alkaline(pH 7.0 to 8.0) environment
of the small intestine, where the intestinal and pancreatic
proteases complete protein digestion. |

| Fat
Digestive System |
| Action:
Fat digestion occurs in the initial section of the small intestine.
The liver produces bile salts and acids,and stores them in the
gall bladder.Bile emulsifies fats, breaking them apart into
droplets. In this form they can be attacked by the pancreatic
enzyme called lipase that helps to break down fat into glycerides
and fatty acids. Bile and pancreatic fluid together neutralize
the stomach acid, essential because the intestinal enzymes function
only at a pH of 7to 8. |
|
Content:
Lipase |
| Fiber Digestive System |
| Action:
Fiber-found in foods such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables-provides
bulk to enable the large intestine to work effectively. It also
helps regulate the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine.
The breakdown of certain fibers may add further benefit. Cellulase
and hemicellulase break down plant cell walls in fibrous foods,
there by making available nutrients with in these cells. |
