Delicious desserts and savory seasoned meals lead many to overindulge, increasing our waistline sand often resulting in indigestion and occasional bloating and gas.  But there is hope! A quality digestive enzyme supplement will promote healthy digestion and potentially cut off such problems at the pass.

Digestive Enzymes

Enzymedica is known for making digestive enzyme supplements that are tailored to meet individual needs. In addition to supplements that address specific digestion issues such as phenol sensitivity, bean, grain and vegetable digestion, gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance, Enzymedica also offers several options to address general digestive needs for the entire family, including pets. Digestive enzymes enhance the body’s digestion and assimilation of food to help turn the food we eat into energy for the body.

Digest Gold

Digest Gold is the most potent digestive enzyme product on the market, and is approximately three times stronger than Digest in most categories. In addition to assisting in the digestion of the four major food groups, Digest Gold was also formulated to address the more serious issues some consumers face.

Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS

Digest Gold + Probiotics combines Enzymedica’s award winning digestive enzyme formula with 500 million cultures of specially coated (TherActive™) probiotics.  This delivery system 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 lower intestine, guaranteeing potency, delivering healthy bacteria into the intestinal tract for optimal benefit.

Kids Digest

Children can develop digestive problems during their formative years from poor food choices, faulty digestion or an enzyme deficiency. More children than ever suffer the consequences of incomplete digestion. Kids Digest™ is a potent, easy to take, tasty product that assists children’s bodies in digesting and assimilating important nutrients. Kids Digest is a is a mild potency digestive enzyme designed specifically for children and aids in the digestion of all food groups.

Enzymedica’s Pet Digest is an enzyme formula which will help pets digest their foods more efficiently; absorbing all of the nutrients, while helping to reduce digestive distress.

Why a Digestive Enzyme?

Supplemental enzymes can be very effective to help digest and assimilate foods and ease tension from digestive issues.  Digestive enzymes can multitask in the body, however, so they are also useful for general health. When we reduce stress on the digestive system, more energy and thus more metabolic enzymes are made available to the body to support the immune system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, nervous system, and more.

Many individuals are taking both enzymes and probiotics to support healthy immune function.  These supplements work hand in hand, promoting healthy digestion, elimination, and overall wellness.

There has been some recent concern that protease taken with probiotics kills both the probiotics consumed orally and the microflora that are already a part of the intestinal ecosystem. This idea is based on the simplistic understanding that protease breaks down protein. Though this is true, it is incomplete.

Plant-based proteases (from aspergillus) have the ability to break down a fairly wide range of proteins in a reasonably wide pH. However, they do not break down all proteins. In order for these proteases to break down proteins, at least one of the following must be met: The protein must be dead, as in the case when we eat protein; the protein must be damaged; the protein must be tagged for removal by the immune system. If these plant-based proteins did indeed break down all proteins, then all red blood cells, white blood cells, muscle tissues, stomach lining, arteries, other enzymes, and practically every other tissue of the body would be in danger.

Another point to consider is the content of the probiotics themselves. They are bacterial organisms, full of enzymes, including proteases. Why don’t the proteases in the probiotic kill the cell? The answer is obvious: the protease in bacteria is specific and does not digest the living protein found in the bacteria itself.

Enzymedica offers a complete line of digestive, therapeutic and supportive enzymes, including America’s top two sellers, Digest™ and Digest Gold™ and the new Digest Basic™.  Our guaranteed potency Pro-Bio™ probiotic formula is enteric coated and features 8 species of healthy microflora with 5 billion CFU in a single capsule serving.
