What Are Enzymes?

Enzymes are energized protein molecules found in all living cells. They catalyze and regulate all biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. They are also instrumental in digestion. They break down proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber making it possible to benefit from the nutrients found in those foods while removing the toxins. Enzymes turn the food we eat into energy and unlock this energy for use in the body. Their presence and strength can be determined by improved blood and immune system functions.

Types of Enzymes

There are three types of enzymes. Our bodies naturally produce two types, digestive and metabolic enzymes as they are needed, while food enzymes can only be consumed orally.

Metabolic Enzymes speed up the chemical reaction within the cells for detoxification and energy production. They enable us to see, hear, feel, move and think. Every organ, every tissue, and all 100 trillion cells in our body depend upon the reaction of metabolic enzymes and their energy factor. Metabolic enzymes are produced by every living cell. However, the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and other organs play a vital role in their production.

Digestive Enzymes are secreted along the digestive tract to break food down into nutrients and waste. This allows nutrients to be absorbed into the blood stream and the waste to be discarded. Human digestive enzymes include ptyalin, pepsin, trypsin, lipase, protease, and amylase. The body does not make cellulase, an enzyme necessary for proper digestion of fiber, so it must be introduced through the raw foods we eat.

Food Enzymes are introduced to the body through the raw foods we eat and through consumption of supplemental enzyme fortifiers. Raw foods naturally contain enzymes, providing a source of digestive enzymes when ingested. However, raw food manifests only enough enzymes to digest that particular food, not enough to have any support systemically. The cooking and processing of food destroys all of its enzymes. Since most of the foods we eat are cooked or processed in some way and since the raw foods we do eat contain only enough enzymes to process that particular food, our bodies must produce the majority of the digestive enzymes we require. For these reasons it is recommended that we supplement our diet with enzymes.

Complete Digestive Care in a Single Capsule

The enzyme experts have done it again! Enzymedica introduces Digest Gold+ PROBIOTICS, providing the convenience of high potency digestive enzymes combined with guaranteed delivery of active probiotic cultures.

Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS is a multitasking enzyme supplement that contains Digest Gold’s award winning digestive enzyme formula with the addition of 500 million active probiotic cultures.

Digestion

Enzymes are the most effective tools made by the body to aid digestion.  Enzymes are manufactured throughout the digestive system, and we consume them in the form of enzyme-rich raw foods.  Like tiny shears or clippers, enzymes help break down the foods we eat, leaving particles small enough to enter the bloodstream.


Probiotics

Probiotics are the healthy flora that reside in our digestive tract.  These organisms support regularity, aid the immune system, produce vitamins like B and K, and fuel our digestion through their production of enzymes, including lactase, protease, and amylase.   The enzymes made by the flora work synergistically with our own inherent enzymes to support optimal wellbeing and digestive health.

Guaranteed Delivery

Probiotics are active cultures which must make their way through various obstacles in their journey to the gastrointestinal tract.  These live organisms then take up residence and provide benefits. First, they must stand up to the exposure to light, heat and moisture on the shelf.  After consumption, they must withstand harsh stomach acid and other digestive fluids.  It is this obstacle course through the body that can prevent probiotics from being fully effective.

This problem can be overcome, however, with Enzymedica’s unique TherActive™ Delivery system. Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS contains 500 million cultures of specially coated (TherActive™) probiotics.  TherActive is not an encapsulation process—it is a coating that allows for maximum performance and preservation of probiotics. Superior to standard time release mechanisms, TherActive™ delivery ensures release in the alkaline pH of the small intestine, guaranteeing potency, delivering healthy bacteria for optimal benefit.

A Multi-tasking Enzyme

Taking one capsule of Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS is the same as taking two digestive products in one convenient dose. If you take 3 capsules daily, you receive the highest potency digestive enzyme on the market, Digest Gold, plus you also get 1.5 billion active probiotic cultures. This saves both time and money.

Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS is available now with a special coupon. To learn more visit the product page.
