Enzyme Complex Optimizes digestion and absorption of nutrients
Enzymes are proteins that accelerate most biochemical reactions in the body. Without these essential macromolecules, reactions occur at a slow pace to keep the body alive. Depending on the type, enzymes increase muscle mass, destroy toxins and help optimal digestion of food particles during digestion.
They are produced naturally in the body, but their effectiveness can be reduced by certain diseases, increased body temperature or chemical compounds. Digestive enzymes are essential for the proper functioning of the digestive system. Most are in the pancreas, stomach and small intestine, but they are secreted even by the salivary glands. Their role in digestion is vital, helping the body digest food more efficiently, using less energy.
For whom are enzyme supplements recommended?
Enzyme supplements are recommended in many situations, regardless of age or gender. In the case of patients suffering from certain diseases, such as pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis or pancreatic cancer, it is absolutely necessary to take enzyme supplements. They are also recommended for people with slow or problematic digestion.
Enzyme supplements also have many benefits for healthy people. When you take a digestive enzyme supplement during a meal, they act immediately on food. Thus, the body saves the energy allocated to the breakdown of food into smaller particles. In response, the body secretes more metabolic enzymes to provide the body with more energy for daily activities and sports.
Therefore, if you plan to exercise more or follow a more demanding workout, digestive supplements with enzymes are recommended. Because your body does not consume energy during digestion, you will have more tone for fitness, yoga, running or going to the gym.
When are enzyme supplements used?
For best results, you need to use food supplements correctly. First, daily administration for a maximum of six months is recommended. This is the period in which the digestive system corrects its secretion of enzymes. For enzyme supplements to work, they must come into contact with food. Take one bottle a day with meals.
If you want optimal results, it is recommended that you use the type of enzyme that is compatible with the food you eat. For example, lactose is recommended for dairy consumption.
What types of enzymes are there?
Most supplements contain several types of enzymes to provide more benefits to your body. However, it is good to know the most important types of enzymes and their action in the body:
Amylase - is the enzyme produced by the salivary glands and pancreas, which converts starch into maltose and glucose.
Protease or proteolytic enzymes are secreted by the pancreas and glands in the lining of the digestive tract.
Lipase is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas that breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids.
Lactase is the enzyme produced by the intestinal mucosa that allows the assimilation of lactose.
Cellulase is an enzyme produced by fungi or bacteria that break down cellulose and polysaccharides.
