Multizyme®
Contains Digestive Enzymes to Support the Proper Breakdown and Absorption of Proteins, Carbohydrates, Sugars, and Fats
Enzymes are protein molecules that catalyze, or jump-start, nearly all biochemical activity in the body. Enzymes are needed to digest food, produce energy inside cells, activate the brain, help the body maintain cells, tissues, and organs, plus support other functions of the body. Without enzymes, many chemical reactions in the body would not be supported. Enzymes have unique chemical structures and perform specific tasks, so one enzyme cannot substitute
for another. Enzymes fall into two main categories: digestive or metabolic. The digestive enzymes work in the intestinal tract to break down the foods we eat, so nutrients can be absorbed into the blood for use in the body. Digestive enzymes are divided into amylases, proteases, and lipases. Amylases are found in saliva and pancreatic juice. The sole responsibility of amylases is to break down carbohydrates and sugars for absorption. Proteases are found in pancreatic,
stomach, and intestinal juices and are responsible for digesting proteins. Lipases break down fats and are found in the stomach and pancreatic juices, as well as in foods that contain fat. The body procures some enzymes from food. Raw foods from both plant and animal sources provide the greatest percentage of enzymes, since heat and cooking can destroy these sensitive molecules. Digestive enzymes enable our bodies to obtain optimal nutritional benefit from the foods we eat. Multizyme is an enzyme supplement that can aid in digestion.
How Multizyme Keeps You Healthy
Supports the proper and efficient breakdown of foods and absorption of nutrients
While the solid foods and liquids we eat every day contain the vital nutrients our bodies need to operate normally, they are of no use unless they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Digestive enzymes ensure that proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, and fats are chemically transformed into molecules that can be absorbed and used by the tissues of the body.
Figs and almonds contribute fatty acids, fiber, and vitamins and minerals that encourage healthy digestion. The proteolytic enzyme pancreatin is a concentrate of important pancreatic enzymes needed to break down dietary proteins, fats, and starch into amino acids, glycerol and fatty acids, and simple sugars, respectfully. Bromelain and papain are proteolytic enzymes from plants that help the body digest proteins. Lipases trigger lipid breakdown while cellulases work together to hydrolyze cellulose. Amylase sparks the hydrolysis of starch into smaller mono- and polysaccharide carbohydrate molecules. Together, enzymes in Multizyme work synergistically to encourage the efficient breakdown of food in the digestive tract and enhance the absorption of vital nutrients.
