Ingredient | Purpose† |
Amylases, Glucoamylase, Invertase | Support healthy digestion of carbohydrates |
Lactase, Fungal Maltase, Pullulanase | Support healthy digestion of sugars, including dairy (lactase) |
Cellulase, HemiSEB, Phytase, Beta-Glucanase, α-Galactosidase, Galactomannase | Support healthy digestion of vegetable and plant fibers |
Acid Proteases, Alkaline Proteases, Proteases, Peptizyme SP | Support healthy digestion of protein and peptides |
Lipase | Supports healthy digestion of fats |
α-galactosidase
breaks down complex carbohydrates from beans and other legumes†
Alpha Amylases
Additional support in the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugars.†
Beta-Glucanase
Breaks down beta-glucans from grains like barley and oats, aiding in their digestion.†
Cellulase
supports the digestion of cellulose found in f plant foods like fruits, vegetables, and nuts.†
Lipase
Supports fat absorption to reduce fish oil burps.†
Galactomannase
breaks down galactomannans found in beans and seeds†
Glucoamylase
converts complex sugars like maltose into glucose to support healthy blood sugar levels.†
HemiSEB®
complex blend of hemicellulases to support the digestion of complex carbohydrates.†
Invertase
converts sucrose, a sugar naturally produced by plants, into glucose and fructose.†
Lactase
The enzyme that breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products, to support individuals with lactose intolerance.†
Proteases (High DPP)
breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. This is a Protease/Peptidase Complex with endopeptidase, exopeptidase and DPP-IV activity†
Phytase (High DPP)
breaks down phytic acid, from seeds, supporting the absorption of minerals like iron and zinc.†
Acid Proteases
Enzymes that function in acidic environments, such as your stomach, aiding in protein digestion.†
Alkaline Proteases
Enzymes that function in alkaline environments, also aiding in protein digestion.†
Pullulanase
breaks down pullulan, a type of polysaccharide found in starch.†
Fungal Maltase
breaks down maltose into the simple sugar glucose.†
Peptizyme®SP
a protease enzyme that specifically targets peptides, aiding in protein digestion.†
