Digestive enzymes are proteins produced naturally in the body's digestive system to help us break down the food we eat into nutrients and energy.
We have a finite reserve of enzymes, which can be in short supply during times of stress or illness. As we get older we produce fewer intestinal enzymes making it harder to absorb nutrients.
Improving digestion is the key to good health. If food is not broken down or absorbed properly it irritates the lining of the intestines. Food molecules and toxins then pass into the bloodstream, causing problems in other parts of the body, depleting the immune system, and leaving you vulnerable to illness.
Over time, poor digestion can lead to malnutrition and a range of ailments such as indigestion, wind, and bloating.
How Does Catalytic Digestive Enzymes Help?
Our high-strength plant-derived Catalytic Digestive Enzymes help you break down food into particles that can be more easily absorbed. Each ingredient enzyme targets different food groups including amylase, bromelain, lactase, lipase, and protease - to aid the digestion of carbohydrates, lactose, fats, and proteins.
We also add synergistic herbs Apple Cider Vinegar, Caraway Seed, Ginger, Peppermint, Turmeric, and Alfalfa to ease inflammation and cramping in the gut which not only aids nutrition but soothes irritation.
Our Catalytic Digestive Enzymes uses only plant-derived enzymes so it's not only vegan-friendly but also superior to animal-derived counterparts. Plant enzymes are more stable over a wider range of acidity and are less likely to be broken down in the stomach's acid so our enzymes reach exactly where they need to go.
Betaine HCL: a vitamin-like substance found in grains and other foods, its production declines with age. Used to provide hydrochloric acid as an aid to digestion. A deficiency of gastric acid secretion increases the likelihood of certain bacterial and parasitic intestinal infections. Too little hydrochloric acid also impairs the digestion of foods (especially protein) and the ultimate absorption of nutrients.
Bromelain: a high-fat meals digestion enzyme derived from the stem of the pineapple plant. Used as a digestive aid, anti-inflammatory, smooth muscle relaxant, digestant, and anti-oedema. It helps inflammation and pain and is ideally taken with turmeric for digestive problems.
Papain: a protein-digesting enzyme found in paw-paw (papaya) fruit.
Protease: an enzyme that helps with the digestion of protein.
Amylase: an enzyme that helps to digest carbohydrates.
Lipase: A fat digestion enzyme. People with pancreatic insufficiency require lipase.
Apple cider vinegar: a natural detoxifier, antiseptic, digestive aid, and antimicrobial. Helps to digest and sterilise foods eaten while cleansing the colon and helping to regulate hydrochloric acid levels. Used to aid digestion, stimulate stomach acid and digestive enzymes.
Caraway seed: anti-microbial, anti-spasmodic, and carminative (anti-flatulence).
Chamomile: has a relaxing and calming effect on inflamed areas of the gut.
Fennel seed: a gentle warming agent for delicate stomachs. It is a carminative, aromatic, antispasmodic, digestive, and gut-soother.
Ginger root: anti-inflammatory, carminative, antispasmodic, vasodilator, circulatory system stimulant, and anti-cholesterol.
Peppermint leaf: a well-known digestive agent, antiseptic, vasodilator, and enzyme activator. Also a source of magnesium and potassium. a carminative and anti-spasmodic. Helps to soothe the gut lining.
Turmeric (with curcumin): an aromatic, digestive, antioxidant, carminative, and bile stimulant. Supports the body’s anti-inflammatory actions, liver function, and bile flow. Helps to reduce loose motions and flatulence.
Alfalfa: contains alkaloids, isoflavones, as well as 8 essential enzymes: - amylase (digests starches), coagulase (coagulates milk), invertase (converts sugar into dextrose), emulsin (acts upon sugars), peroxidase (oxidases blood), lipase (fat-splitting enzyme), pectinase (forms a vegetable jelly from pectin) and protease (digests protein).
90 capsules, 1 or 2 capsules to be taken with each main meal.
If taken alone (i.e. rather than in combination with other digestive supplements), to be started off on a higher intake of 2 - 3 capsules before breakfast, lunch, and the evening meal for 3 - 4 weeks. Thereafter, reduce to 1 - 2 capsules, 2 - 3 times per day or as required.
Warning:
