Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health

NOTES

1

• Enzymes are proteins that work as catalysts for chemicalreactions within the body.– This can be compared to blowing on a flame to start a fire.– If extra oxygen is not added to the flames, it takes longer to

start, or may go out all together.

• Enzymes are essential for every function in the human bodyincluding:– Eating, digesting,

absorbing, and eliminating.– Blood clotting, kidney

function, and liver function.– Breathing, talking,

movement, and behaviour.– Maintaining the

immune system.

What are enzymes?


NOTES

2

• Many enzymes are catabolic.– Meaning they help to break things down into simpler substances.

• Digestive enzymes are catabolic.– They break apart the bonds that hold nutrients together.– (Ex. Proteins are broken down into amino acids).

• Enzymes function in different pH’s throughout the body.– Some need a more acidic environment to become active.– Others need a more alkaline environment.

How do enzymes work?


NOTES

3

During digestion, food is broken down into their molecularcomponents by specific enzymes.• Complex carbohydrates (also called polysaccharides

or starches) are broken down by enzymes called amylase.

• Carbohydrates are broken down into:– Disaccharides (maltose). – Mono-saccharides (glucose, fructose).

• Proteins are broken down into individual amino acids by enzymes called protease.

• Fats (lipids) are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids by enzymes called lipase.

Digestive Enzymes


NOTES

What Causes Enzyme Deficiency?• Lack of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes.

– The body requires these nutrients to make enzymes.– Therefore eating processed foods which lack these essential nutrients

results in the body creating fewer enzymes.

• Age– Over time the body begins to produce fewer enzymes.

• Enzymes are found naturally in raw foods such as:– Vegetables, sea vegetables, sprouts and fruit.– Papaya and pineapple are best.

• Once these foods are heated above 47°C (118°F)enzymes are destroyed– Exposure to air and light – Limp and pale looking vegetables

are enzyme depleted.– Fluoridated water paralyses enzymes.


NOTES

PancreatitisGreatly reduces the pancreatic enzyme production.

Gallbladder removal Without a gallbladder, we lose the ability to properly emulsify fatsand oils, in order for the enzyme lipase to break the fats down intofatty acids.

Poor dietLack of enzymes in food can put tremendous stress on the body.

Imbalance of pHWithout proper pH, some enzymes will not activate.

Enzyme Depletion from Body Imbalances

• Gas & bloating

• Flatulence

• Diarrhea

• Constipation

• Leaky Gut

• Malabsorption

Symptoms of Digestive Enzyme Deficiency


NOTES

7

• Amylase breaks down starch. • Lactase breaks down milk sugars.• Lipase breaks down fat. • Protease breaks down protein.

Enzymes the body can’t produce: • Cellulase breaks down plant fiber (cellulose). • Invertase breaks down refined sugar.• Pectinase with Phytase breaks down phytates.

Phytic acid is most prevalent in seeds, legumes, and grains.Phytic acid binds with calcium, magnesium, zinc and otherminerals in the intestine and can block their absorption.

Specific Enzyme Action


NOTES

8

• The body adapts to the different types of foods that you eat.– If you begin to eat more carbohydrates, the body will eventually produce

more amylase to help digest them.

• Taking supplemental digestive enzymes relieves the body from the burden ofhaving to produce extra digestive enzymes.– The pancreas does not stop producing enzymes, it just adapts to what it

needs to digest food.– It uses the remaining available capacity to produce metabolic enzymes

needed for energy and cell repair.

• If you stop taking supplemental enzymes the body will adapt.– It will return to producing more digestive enzymes just as with any other

change in diet.

• Derived from fungal organisms (Aspergillus Niger)by process of fermentation.

• Active in the upper stomach as well as the small intestine.

• Function in pH range from 2-14.

• Broad action on a variety of foods.

NOTESWhat is Lactose Intolerance?

15

• Lactose intolerance occurs in people who are deficient in the enzyme lactase.– Lactase is the main enzyme required to break down dairy based products.

• Lactose intolerance is common worldwide.

• Often, people stop producing the enzyme lactase between the ages of three andseven, making dairy consumption difficult for the rest of their lives.

• In most cases, problems digesting diary products are due to trouble breaking down'lactose', a carbohydrate component in all dairy products.– This inability to breakdown 'lactose' causes painful gas, bloating, diarrhea,

and other digestive upsets.

• For many people, lactose is not the only problem.– Dairy is a complex food including carbohydrates,

protein and fat.– There are some who find that lactase pills do not

help their digestion.– They also have difficulty breaking down the fats

and proteins contained in dairy.– This is often the case for people who find heavy

rich creams and cheeses difficult to digest.


NOTESLactoZYME is for people who:• Have difficulty breaking down dairy products.• Have gas or bloating after eating dairy products.• Have stomach upset, or belching after eating dairy products.
