Digest
About PB Digest
Perfect Balance Digest supports the pre-digestive process of the stomach by providing the enzymes needed to break down all the food in our stomachs into the usable form of macro molecules that the small intestines requires for digestion, absorption, and assimilation.
How does Digest work?
Enzymes are highly active workers that break down (hydrolyze) food from solids to micro-molecules, and they also deliver the nutrients to the tissues in the body. Digestive enzymes are nutrient specific; proteins are only broken down (hydrolyzed) by protein enzymes called protease; fats - lipase, carbohydrates - amylase, etc.
Ingredients
Protease IV - (2000 HUT Per Capsule) DPP-IV is the enzyme that breaks down gluten, and the addition of this enzymespecifically can improve the digestion of gluten proteins for occasional exposures. DPP-IV is active in breaking down Candida Albicans because it is an antimicrobial peptide.
Protease I - II - III - V (70,000 HUT Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) dietary proteins like meat, eggs, fish, poultry, and proteins found in vegetables, beans, legumes, and fruits into amino acids. Also, the Protease Blend in Perfect Balance Digest Formula escorts these amino acids to the tissues in the body where they can nourish, heal, and repair the body.
Lipase - (7,000FIP Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) fats from all dietary sources into monoglycerides and fatty acids.
Amylase - (15,000DU Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) dietary starches like grains, rice, potatoes, cereal, bread, pasta, and nuts into simple sugars. Helps with energy production.
Beta-glucanase - (75BGU Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) beta-glucan found in a group of carbohydrates into glucose found in cereals (e.g., oats, barley), certain types of mushrooms (e.g., reishi, shiitake, maitake), yeasts, seaweed, and algae, wheat, rye, and sorghum. These undigested glucans also create up to 60% of the cell wall of many forms of fungal organisms such as Candida albicans and Candidal biofilm.
Phytase - (50FTU Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) phytic acid in grains, legumes, seeds, and corn. This frees-up the otherwise bound minerals calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese.
Xylanase - (1,000XU Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) xylans, a type of hemicellulose found in fibrous vegetables, grains, legumes, cereal grains, nuts and fresh fruits.
Glucoamylase - (50AGU Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) starch in most vegetables as well as breaks apart sugar molecules like maltose.
Cellulase - (17,000CU Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) the cellulose in the fiber of vegetables and fruits into glucose and fatty acids. In addition to digesting raw vegetables and some fruits, it aids in cleansing the bowel, as well as Digesting Candida Albicans.
Hemicellulase - (4,000HCU Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) the cellulose in the cell-walls of plants into a simple sugar.
Alpha-galactosidase - (200GalU Per Capsules) breaks down (hydrolyzes) glycolipids and glycoproteins found in beans, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower (reducing excess gas caused by these foods).
Diastase - (600DP Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) starch in vegetables.
Pectinase - (50endo-PGU) breaks down (hydrolyzes) the polysaccharide pectin in plant cell walls.
Lactase - (900ALU Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) milk sugar found in cheese, ice cream, and other dairy products.
Invertase - (700SU Per Capsule) breaks down (hydrolyzes) common table sugar.
