Description

EnZymAid™ Multi-Enzyme Complex is a plant-based enzyme formulation designed to address several important digestive functions for individuals with special requirements and sensitivities.  This formulation comes in #1 plant cellulose capsules. This exceptional enzyme complex: specifically targets the breakdown (cleaving) of casein, gluten and gliadin and facilitates the breakdown of wheat (gluten) and milk (casein) proteins enhances the absorption and utilization of important minerals  (This is accomplished by the addition of the enzyme phytase, which breaks down phytic acid found in grains, beans, soybean, etc., that is known to interfere with the absorption of crucial minerals including calcium, magnesium and zinc.) increases the amount of the important dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) enzyme  (This happens when the peptidase enzymes exert DPP-IV activity, and by the inclusion of galactose.) About our formulation: Ingredients include:   Caso-glutenase 10,000 AU* Bromelain concentrate 230 BTU (approximately equal to 4,500,000 FCCPU) Acid-fast protease 100 SAPU Lactase 330 LACU Phytase 125 PU Galactose 100 mg *This proprietary blend is comprised of a combination of many different proteases and peptidases, assayed with activity units based on acceptable compendial methods of assay.  Since a wide variety of different peptidases/proteases are utilized, the overall activity is noted in special Activity Units (AU). Other ingredients include:   Plant cellulose (vegetable capsule) and L-Leucine. Caso-glutenase……………………10,000 AU This proprietary enzyme complex has the ability to "digest" or break down casein and gluten more completely than most other peptidases.  It has a "balanced" profile of peptidase activity, meaning that the bonds at the end as well as in the middle of the casein and gluten peptide are cleaved.  These peptidases also provide DPP-IV activity that contributes to the overall effectiveness of this unique enzyme blend. Bromelain concentrate………………230 BTU Bromelain is highly recognized and researched for its ability to have proteolytic activity in effectively and safely breaking down casein.  The bromelain in this formulation is derived from a purified pineapple extract and is safe and well-tolerated. Acid-fast protease……...……………...100 SAPU The presence of this acid fast/stable protease allows the enzymes to have a longer range of activity as well as stability when foods are exposed to the presence of acid in the lower part of the stomach.  This protease begins the job of breaking down proteins before these foods are delivered into the small intestine. Lactase………………………………….330 LACU The dose of the lactase enzyme in this formulation is adequate to digest the amount of lactose found in one glass of milk. Phytase………………………………….125 PU Phytase is an enzyme with exceptional qualities.  It was added to this formulation for its ability to digest phytic acid (inositol hexakisphosphate), which is present in plants such as wheat, corn, rye, barley, beans, soybean, etc.  Phytic acid can negatively affect the absorption of minerals such as calcium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron and magnesium, by forming mineral complexes with them after which the complexes are transported out of the body.  The use of the phytase enzyme will facilitate the breakdown of phytic acid, diminish the mineral complex formation and ultimately result in greater availability of these important minerals. Galactose………………………………...100 mg The rationale for inclusion of this natural substance is its apparent ability to help maintain healthy levels of DPP-IV produced in cells.
