A Bio-Aligned Formula™
ESSENTIAL ENZYMES is designed to bring
alignment to the multiple, interconnected
systems that influence digestion. The formula
includes food grade enzymes that
function in a range of different pH (acidity)
levels found in the digestive tract. As a
result, different enzymes are available to
break down food molecules in the various
stages of digestion.
Carbohydrate Digestive System
The first step in digestion occurs in the
mouth, where the digestion of carbohydrates
is initiated. Amylase, the enzyme
contained in saliva, converts starch (a form
of carbohydrate) into simpler sugars. This
process is completed when the pancreas
secretes more amylase into the small intestine.
Lactase supports the breakdown of
lactose (sugar from milk) that many populations
are unable to digest. ESSENTIAL
ENZYMES supports carbohydrate digestion
with lactase, to break down milk sugar, and
amylase and amyloglucosidase to break
down starch.
Protein Digestive System
In the stomach, food is broken down further
by churning and by the action of the
gastric juice, which contains pepsin and
hydrochloric acid. Pepsin, a protease
enzyme that depends on the highly acidic
(pH 1.5 to 2.5) environment of the stomach
for functioning, begins the process of
breaking down protein into peptides and
amino acids. The food, at this stage called
“chyme,” then continues on to th ...
