Ultrazyme™
- Ultrazyme™ is a dietary supplement specifically formulated with bile and active digestive enzymes from animals and plants that act synergistically to assist in fat, protein, and carbohydrate digestion.
- The pancreas supplies the major digestive enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and protein, so that the breakdown products can be absorbed in the upper small intestine.
- Pancreatic lipase cleaves triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids, which are efficiently absorbed in the upper small intestine.
- Pancreatic amylase, the major carbohydrate-digesting enzyme, breaks down starches into maltose and maltotriose, which are further hydrolyzed into glucose by the disaccharidases of the mucosal cells, and then absorbed.
- Protein digestion is initiated in the stomach by pepsin and hydrochloric acid, which denature and divide large proteins into smaller polypeptides.
- Bromelain acts to help prevent allergens from crossing the gastrointestinal tract, and assists in the breakdown of large macromolecular protein complexes.
