Doctor's Best Digestive Enzymes is a complex dietary supplement that contains a unique blend of more than a dozen carefully selected digestive enzymes that support the proper functioning of the digestive system. Consumed during a meal, the enzymes help improve digestion and prevent digestive disorders such as bloating, gas colic, heartburn, indigestion or a feeling of overfilling in the stomach.
The product contains a complete set of digestive enzymes that enable the proper breakdown of both proteins, fats, carbohydrates, as well as cellulose and lactose. In addition, the supplement has been enriched with beneficial bacteria from the Bacillus subtilis group that contribute to maintaining the intestines in their optimal condition.
The role of enzymes in the digestive process
Digestive enzymes are a group of substances secreted in the digestive system that catalyze the breakdown of complex compounds into simple ones. As a result of this process, the food we consume is digested and the nutrients it contains are assimilated. A proper digestive process is essential for the body to optimally utilize the food provided to it.
Digestive disorders are associated with numerous unpleasant symptoms from the digestive system (bloating, colic, nausea, gas, pain). The entire body also suffers from them. Deprived of key nutrients, the body becomes ill, weakened and susceptible to harmful external factors.
Fortunately, supplementation with the right digestive enzyme blends can dramatically improve digestion, reduce stomach discomfort and help improve the absorption of essential nutrients.
The Doctor's Best Digestive Enzymes product includes the following ingredients:
Proteolytic enzymes or proteases (papain, bromelain, among others) are enzymes that digest proteins - animal, vegetable (such as wheat-derived gluten), or milk-derived (casein).
Lipase - An enzyme responsible for breaking down fats into individual fatty acids and facilitating the absorption of essential fat-soluble nutrients (such as omega 3 fatty acids).
Amylase is the only enzyme that breaks down polysaccharides into simple sugars, that is, it affects the digestion of carbohydrates.
Cellulase and hemicellulase - Two enzymes that digest cellulose. They must be supplied externally because the human body does not produce digestive enzymes to process plant fibers, the fiber that is an essential part of vegetables, which are the basis of any healthy diet.
Beta-glucanase - Responsible for breaking down non-starch polysaccharides. Increases the bioavailability of nutrients trapped in the fibrous matrix of plant cell walls.
Lactase - is used to break down milk sugar (lactose) into glucose and galactose. It is important because lactose intolerance is one of the most common food intolerances among adults.
Xylanase - breaks down xylans and arabinates, two unfavorable substances that form solutions characterized by high viscosity and contribute to a decrease in the absorption of nutrients from food.
Phytase - neutralizes phytic acid (present in large amounts especially in cereals), which is typically an anti-nutritional substance. It not only blocks the absorption of valuable minerals, but also inhibits the activity of other digestive enzymes, such as pepsin, which is necessary for protein digestion, and amylase, which is needed for starch breakdown.
Invertase - responsible for the process of invertase, which is the breakdown of sucrose into fructose and glucose molecules.
Glucoamylase - prepares complex sugars for absorption in the intestinal villi, that is, catalyzes the breakdown of starch and glycogen into glucose or maltose.
Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP IV) - an extremely important enzyme that breaks down gluten and casein, the most common cause of digestive discomfort, into smaller and more easily assimilated molecules.
Alpha-galactosidase - helps in the absorption of carbohydrates, and is responsible for the breakdown of oligosaccharides (present especially in legumes).
Bacillus subtilis - probiotic bacteria commonly used to treat many symptoms and disorders of the digestive tract. They displace pathogenic bacteria from the intestines, improve digestion and contribute to the resolution of gastrointestinal complaints.
The above in a set are an invaluable aid to the proper functioning of the digestive system. The manufacturer of Best Digestive Enzymes made sure to include all the necessary and carefully selected enzymes, actively supporting digestion. Just one capsule added to a meal will ensure proper digestion and protect us from all unpleasant discomforts of the digestive system.
