INGREDIENTS OF DIGESTIVE
AID
All enzymes in this formula are of the highest
quality, derived from plant sources.
Protease - Any of various enzymes, including the
endopeptidases and exopeptidases that catalyze the hydrolytic breakdown
of proteins into peptides or amino acids. In other words, this enzyme
is used for protein digestion in the stomach and pancreas. A protein
digesting enzyme.
Lipase - Any of a group of enzymes secreted in
the digestive tract that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats into glycerol
and fatty acids or simply catalyzes the breakdown fats. A fat digesting
enzyme.
Amylase - Any of a group of enzymes that are present
in saliva, pancreatic juice, and parts of plants and catalyze the
hydrolysis of starch to sugar to produce carbohydrate derivatives.
A carbohydrate-digesting enzyme.
Lactase - An enzyme occurring in certain yeasts
and in the intestinal juices of mammals and catalyzing the hydrolysis
of lactose into glucose and galactose. This enzyme is required to
break down the sugar in milk (dairy). A simple sugar-digesting enzyme
that digest milk sugar.
Superoxide dismutase - The enzyme that your body
uses to detoxify and fight cell damage. It also functions as an
antioxidant. Every cell in the body uses ‘SOD’ to combat
damaging free radicals produced by normal cellular reactions. As
we age, our bodies produce less SOD, which may lead to aging and
the possible development of degenerative diseases. SOD also helps
to reduce inflammation of joints working as a pain reliever in many
cases if enough is used.
Bromelain - A proteolytic enzyme capable of digesting
protein. Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory agent. Bromelain is a
natural blood thinner because it prevents excessive blood platelet
stickiness.
Papain - This is one of the most important ingredients
of the papaya fruit. It is one of the essential enzymes required
for healthy digestion and intestinal health.
Pepsin - A digestive enzyme found in gastric juice
that catalyzes the breakdown of protein to peptides. An unorganized
proteolytic ferment or enzyme contained in the secretory glands
of the stomach. In the gastric juice it is united with dilute hydrochloric
acid (0.2 per cent, approximately) and the two together constitute
the active portion of the digestive fluid. It is the active agent
in the gastric juice.
Trypsin –a protein splitting (proteolytic)
enzyme. This enzyme splits the bonds between particular comvinations
of amino acids in proteins. Because no single enzyme can split all
the possible combinations of amino acids, several enzymes are necessary
for the complete digestion of protein molecules.
Chymotrypsin - This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis
of peptide bonds of proteins in the small intestine. A pancreatic
digestive enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of certain proteins
in the small intestine into polypeptides and amino acids.
Ginger –Benefits of ginger include its ability
to cleanse the colon, reduce spasms and cramps, stimulate circulation,
and aid metabolism. How does Ginger work in the digestive system?
It helps protect the gastric system by increasing the pH of stomach
acid, reducing its acidity, thereby lowers the rate of gastric secretions,
and increasing digestive enzyme activity.
Gentian - Gentian consists of the dried rhizomes
and roots of Gentiana lutea L.
(Family: Gentianaceae). Bitter. Digestive stimulant. Eases stomach
pain.
Turmeric - stimulates digestion in the stomach.
Citrus peel - Increases the production of digestive
fluids, is known to lower cholesterol and increases blood circulation.
Fringe tree - This herb has many uses including:
aiding in digestion of fats, breaking down excessive mucous discharge
in the stomach, normalizes appetite and helps the spleen and pancreas.
Peppermint - used for colds, flu, fevers, gas and
mild digestive disorders.
Cayenne - used to stimulate digestion, circulation,
and metabolism.
Goldenseal - an alleviater of indigestion, gas,
heartburn and aids digestion.
Sweet root - is another wonderful herb for all
digestive issues.
