The reason why it is worth taking digestive enzymes:

Your body makes digestive enzymes to help you break down food and absorb nutrients. If you have certain health conditions, you may need replacement digestive enzymes to help prevent malabsorption.

Naturally occurring digestive enzymes are a vital part of your digestive system. Without them, your body can’t break foods down so that nutrients can be fully absorbed.

A lack of digestive enzymes can lead to a variety of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. It can also leave you malnourished, even if you eat a nutritious diet.

What are digestive enzymes?

Your body makes enzymes in the digestive system, including the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. The largest share is the work of the pancreas. Digestive enzymes help your body break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from food. This is necessary to allow for the absorption of nutrients and to maintain optimal health. Without these enzymes, the nutrients in your food go to waste. Certain health conditions can interfere with the production of digestive enzymes. If the pancreas cannot make enough digestive enzymes, this is called exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), and this can have implications such as poor digestion and malnutrition. When that happens, you can add digestive enzyme replacement before meals to help your body process foods effectively. Some digestive enzymes require a doctor’s prescription, and others are sold over the counter (OTC).

OstroVit Digezyme Digestive Enzymes - comprehensive source of valuable compounds

Digestive enzymes are substances that enable the proper course of digestive processes in the body. These are macromolecular proteins responsible for breaking down complex compounds into simpler forms. They are secreted naturally in the digestive system by the digestive glands, and although each organ is responsible for a different enzyme, the different compounds complement each other, so it is important that the body does not lack any of them.

How do digestive enzymes work?

When the pancreas doesn’t naturally secrete digestive enzymes, it affects your body’s ability to break down the foods you eat and absorb nutrients. This can lead to malnutrition as well as symptoms such as bloating, cramping, gassiness, and diarrhea.

Replacement digestive enzymes take the place of natural enzymes, helping to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from the foods you eat. Then the nutrients are absorbed into your body through the wall of the small intestine and distributed through the bloodstream. As a result, replacement digestive enzymes can help prevent malabsorption and related digestive discomforts. Because they’re meant to mimic your natural pancreatic enzymes, replacement digestive enzymes must be taken just before you eat. That way, they can do their work as food hits your stomach and small intestine.

In some cases, you may break up the dose. For example, if you’re eating a large meal that takes longer than usual to eat, or if you’re a slow eater, your doctor may recommend taking half the dose at the start of the meal and the rest halfway through your meal. If you don’t take replacement digestive enzymes with food, they won’t be of much use.

OstroVit Digezyme Digestive Enzymes is a comprehensive formula that contains:

• α-amylase - which is the enzyme responsible for breaking down polysaccharides into simple sugars, which are then absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. α-amylase is produced mainly through the salivary glands and the pancreas.

• Neutral protease - an enzyme from the peptidase group that participates in the hydrolysis, or breakdown, of proteins into peptides and amino acids.

• Lactase - an enzyme essential for the digestion of milk and dairy products - responsible for breaking down lactose, a milk sugar, into glucose and galactose.

• Lipase - a group of enzymes produced mainly in the pancreas that are responsible for breaking down fats - they convert triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol.

• Cellulase - an enzyme from the hydrolase group that catalyses bonds between glucose molecules in cellulose, resulting in the formation of glucose.

Digestive enzymes are essential to nutrition and overall good health. They help your body absorb nutrients from the foods you eat. Without them, certain foods can lead to uncomfortable symptoms, food intolerances, or nutritional deficiencies.

Certain GI disorders can lead to a lack of enzymes, but OstroVit DIGEZYME® Digestive Enzymes may be an effective option.
