Aside from breaking down food, digestive enzymes like the ones in Digest Aid+™ are highly effective in the breakdown of damaged tissues, killing of the unfriendly gastro-intestinal flus/viruses, helping to reduce inflammation and encourage healthy tissue growth in the area of injury… As we grow older, the necessary and healthful activities of digestion can become more labor intensive due to the possibility that our bodies are not producing the necessary digestive enzymes to break down food into the energy and the sustenance we need. Active Enzyme complexes in Digest Aid+™ digest dietary proteins, sugars and carbohydrates, fiber and fats within the gastrointestinal tract.
As an Adult dietary supplement take 1 to 3 Capsules before a meal Daily or as directed by your Health Care Practitioner.
Advance Use: Take up to Take up to six (6) capsules with a meal, or as recommended by your Healthcare Professional.
Ingredient Summary
Protease (Aspergillus oryzae) Protease refers to a group of enzymes
also called proteolytic enzymes or proteinases whose primary function is the breakdown
(catabolism by hydrolysis) of specific peptide bonds of amino acids and proteins
in a polypeptide chain.
Peptidase (Aspergillus oryzae) Peptidases refers to a protease
that can break either a specific peptide bonds (limited proteolysis), depending
on the amino acid sequence of a protein, or break down a complete peptide to
amino acids (unlimited proteolysis).
Bromelain (Ananas comusus) Bromelain is a group of sulfur-containing
proteolytic enzymes obtained from the fruit and stem of the pineapple plant
and other plants. Other substances include; peroxidase, acid phosphatase, protease
inhibitors, and calcium.
Alpha Galactosidase (Aspergillus niger) Alpha Galactosidase
breakdown (catabolism by hydrolysis) the chemical bonds (alpha 1-6 bonds) found
in the carbohydrates; melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose most often associated
with the legumes (plants).
Lactobacillus acidophilus Lactobacillus acidophilus in the
genus Lactobacillus is a resident probiotic that produces enzymes to digest
protein, fat and lactase (ferments lactose into lactic acid). Acidophilus assists
in the production of niacin, folic acid, and pyridoxine during digestion and
assist in bile deconjugation (separating amino acids from bile acids).
Bifidobacterium bifidum The probiotic “Bifidobacteria”
species are the resident organisms that produce acids that retard the colonization
of certain foreign or harmful bacteria in the colon. The “Bifidobacterium
bifidum” is a specific inhabitant of an adults large intestine (colon)
and composes a large presence of the beneficial microflora which produce acids
to retard colonization of putrefactive bacteria.
