Digestzymes is a proprietary blend of digestive enzymes with betaine hydrochloride to support optimal food digestion. This formula contains a special protease, DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase IV), which helps break down casomorphin (from casein) and gluteomorphin (from gluten). Over 7 million Canadians are lactose intolerant. Digestzymes also contains the enzyme lactase which helps break down lactose, a carbohydrate in milk. Canadians have one of the highest rates of digestive disorders in the world, and Digestzymes can be a valuable tool in the gastrointestinal healing process.
The pancreas produces enzymes that are necessary for digestion and absorption of food. Some of the enzymes that are secreted by the pancreas include lipases that digest fats, proteases that digest proteins, and amylases that digest starch. The health of the digestive tract is crucial to the overall health of the body. If food is not digested properly and toxins are not eliminated, it becomes very difficult to achieve optimal health. In addition, almost every chronic condition will be worsened if the intestinal tract accumulates toxic by-products. Digestive enzymes decline by one percent (1%) every three years after age thirty. It is therefore understandable why so many people need to supplement with enzymes to optimize digestion and assimilation of nutrients from their diet. Insufficient endogenous production of digestive enzymes can lead to flatulence, bloating, constipation, malabsorption and a feeling of fullness after eating only a small amount of food.
