Overindulgence and Digestion

Friday, December 18th, 2009

If we were to take votes on when to mark the start of ‘enzyme season’ on a calendar, there is little doubt that the months of November – January would score high.

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.

Digesting Phenols

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Enzymedica's CarbGest provides phenol-targeting enzymesSome individuals have sensitivity to phenols, and experience difficulty digesting foods that contain them. While it may be possible to reduce one’s consumptions of the phenols found in food additives and such as colorants and flavorings, phenols are relatively omnipresent in all plant-based foods.

What are Phenols?

Phenol is an umbrella term for a sub-group of natural compounds that include, polyphenols, salycilates, flavanoids, catechins, anthocyanidins, and isoflavonoids, among thousands more. Phenols are also synthetically made and often appear as food flavorings and preservatives. In fact, phenols are so common that while it is possible to greatly reduce their intake, it is very difficult to completely eliminate them from the diet. Antioxidant rich foods often boast high amounts of phenols. Nutrient dense foods such as berries, apples, tomatoes, nuts, oranges, red grapes, as well as many other fruits and vegetables are all on the list of high phenol foods.

Phenol Sensitivity

For the general population these foods are important protective agents against degenerative diseases and should be consumed in abundance. But for some, normally healing foods can cause problems; a condition often referred to as phenol sensitivity.

It is thought that in some individuals phenolic compounds are unable to completely make their way through the metabolic cycle and cannot be completely broken down and detoxified, in essence becoming trapped in the body, leading to phenol overload. Phenol sensitivity can sometimes manifest in children with symptoms such as red ears, headache and hyperactivity, and in adults with lethargy and fatigue.

Enzymedica's CarbGest for Support of Carbohydrate Rich DietsCarbGest for Phenol Digestion

CarbGest provides phenol-targeting enzymes such as xylanase to enhance the digestion of phenolic compounds in fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and food additives. CarbGest contains a phenol-targeting enzyme blend that can assist the body in the proper digestion of phenols. CarbGest is safe for children and can be opened and mixed with food when desired.
