Ultrazyme™ has been specially formulated with bile extract and active digestive enzymes that facilitate the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates in the stomach and small intestine. Although fat digestion begins in the mouth with salivary lipase, most triglycerides are digested by pancreatic lipase. Pancreatic lipase breaks down triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids, which are efficiently absorbed in the upper small intestine. Similarly, pancreatic amylase is the major carbohydrate digesting enzyme. It breaks down starches into maltose and maltotriose, which are then hydrolyzed into glucose by disaccharidases in the mucosal cells and absorbed. Protein digestion begins in the stomach with pepsin and hydrochloric acid, which denature and split large proteins into smaller polypeptides. Pancreatic proteases, trypsin and chymotrypsin break down these polypeptides into free amino acids and dipeptides or tripeptides, which are directly absorbed by the intestinal mucosa.
Bromelain also helps in the degradation of protein complexes of macromolecules. This reduces the risk that these complexes leave the stomach intact or in large fractions and promotes their absorption.
