ZyCarb
is a specialized formulation for help with digestion of starches,
carbohydrates and sugars. The enzymes present are balanced to provide
digestive relief without the overly-firming effects on stools sometimes
observed with Zyme Prime.
ZyCarb will help with lactose intolerance, gas, and bloating. One
protease enzyme in the formula provides help with those starchy foods
containing some protein, as well as helping break down glycoproteins.
Amylase enzyme is lower (compared to Zyme Prime) which will help reduce
the firming of stools.
Phenols, or polyphenolic compounds, are found in all plants. Some
people have reactions to these compounds (red cheeks or ears, rashes,
shiners under eyes). Xylanase is an enzyme that breaks down xylans,
compounds found in plant cell walls, and appears to allow the ingestion
of phenolic fruits and vegetables without the aforementioned reactions;
and was the basis of our No-Fenol product. The enzyme also helps stools
from becoming too hard, and so counters the effect seen with other
enzyme products. ZyCarb contains the xylanase equivalent of 1/2 capsule
of No-Fenol. This unique combination of enzymes should provide excellent
digestion of carbohydrates and sugars, but without the stool-hardening
effect seen with other carbohydrase products.
Galactosidase is useful in breaking down hard-to-digest
carbohydrates found in legumes, and helps reduce gas produced from their
fermentation in the intestine.
Amylase and glucoamylase are used together to hydrolyze starchy compounds into simple sugars.
Lipase is present to hydrolyze triglycerides to short-chain fatty acids.
All enzymes are derived from plant-based sources.
ZyCarb is helpful in easing the gas production, bloating, and
cramping from such dietary problems as lactose and fatty food
intolerance.
Contraindications for ZyCarb Supplementation
This product may not be appropriate for those with known allergies to
Aspergillus enzyme proteins, though non-specific mold allergies do not
necessarily preclude use of fungal enzymes. Consult your medical doctor
for further advice. Those with known anaphylactic allergic reactions to
fungal proteins should NOT ingest fungal-derived enzymes.

Recommended dosing is 1 or 2 capsules per meal, however; more may be
taken if needed. Dosing is based on amount of food ingested, not body
weight or age. No upper limit has been established for oral enzyme
supplementation. Animal studies indicate that extremely large doses of
plant enzymes may be ingested without toxicity or ill effect. Feel free
to vary the dosage of ZyCarb based on type and size of meal. Those meals
higher in carbohydrates and/or fats may call for higher doses of
ZyCarb.
