pH blend = enzyme mixture

A mixture of enzymes, like the one in the Pro Digest series, can effectively relieve the pancreas and improve the digestive process. The various Pro Digest products contain pH blends of amylase, lipase, cellulase and protease.
These enzymes break down carbohydrates, fats, fiber and proteins. This way, they help the digestive process to function better and nutrients are absorbed better by the body.

Active throughout the digestive tract

The various enzyme mixtures (pH blends) in the Pro Digest series are composed in a special way. They become active throughout the digestive tract due to the optimal temperature and pH in the gastrointestinal tract.
This benefits the support of the digestive organs. It also relieves the pancreas and releases energy for other metabolic processes.

What effect do the different enzymes have?

Alpha-galactosidase is an enzyme that aids in the digestion of carbohydrates in legumes, grains and vegetables, thereby reducing flatulence and gas formation.

Amylase pH blend is an enzyme that contains carbohydrates such as Starch and glycogen, broken down into smaller sugar components.

Bèta-glucanase promotes the digestion of cereals, e.g. Barley, oats and wheat.

Cellulase pH-Blend is the only digestive enzyme that the body cannot produce itself. Cellulase pH-Blend contains cellulase for the digestion of plant fiber.

DPP-IV (Dipeptidylpeptidase-IV) is a protein-digesting enzyme that is essential for the breakdown of gluten and casein. Proteases with DPP-IV activity help digest foods with gluten better.

Glucoamylase breaks down carbohydrates into glucose units. Glucose enters the bloodstream as a source of energy for the body.

Hemicellulase is a cellulase enzyme that breaks down polysaccharides (hemicellulose). Bran and cereals are, for example, foods that contain a lot of hemicellulose.

Invertase is an enzyme that breaks down (cane) sugar into glucose and fructose. Glucose enters the bloodstream as a source of energy for the body.

Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar) and promotes the digestion of foods with lactose.

Lipase pH-Blend is an enzyme that promotes the digestion of fats.

Maltase is an enzyme that breaks down malt sugar. Maltase promotes the breakdown of maltose in glucose molecules that are simply absorbed into the bloodstream and act as an energy source for the body.

Phytase is an enzyme that breaks down phytic acid. Phytase breaks down carbohydrates such as Pectin, which is particularly common in vegetables and fruits. Starches and seeds in particular contain phytic acid. Protease pH-Blend contains several protease enzymes for the digestion of proteins. The mixture improves the DPP-IV enzyme action for protein breakdown. Taking protease can help and improve food digestion, making nutrients a source of energy for the body. This combination has been specially formulated to improve the speed and effectiveness of the digestive process.

Vitamins B6 is involved in over 100 enzyme reactions in the body, which play a role in energy production and fat and protein metabolism.

Xylanase is an enzyme that is responsible for breaking down the components of cell walls. Xylanase plays an important role in the digestion of fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and nutritional supplements.

How does an enzyme deficit or an enzyme deficiency arise?

An enzyme deficiency is often the cause of indigestion, including Bloating, stomach upset and other common gastrointestinal upset. An enzyme deficiency can be caused by various factors:

• By eating processed foods
• Gastrointestinal disorders
• As you get older, the body produces fewer enzymes

Enzymes in the diet

Today's diet often contains only a few enzymes, as many enzymes are lost through heating before they are served. The body therefore has to rely almost entirely on its own digestive enzymes.

Reduced enzyme production as you get older

As you get older, the body produces fewer and fewer enzymes, which are necessary for good digestion. The digestion then becomes overactive and that costs a lot of energy. The pancreas is overloaded, which in turn promotes indigestion.

Enzymes help the body digest nutrients.
How does digestion work?

The digestion begins in the mouth, in which we crush the food with the tongue and teeth. The food particles are then transported to the stomach, where they are broken down by the acidic gastric juices.

When the food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine, various digestive juices are added. The liquids contain enzymes that support the digestive process. For example, the pancreas splits off enzymes such as amylase, protease and lipase in the small intestine. These enzymes are also produced by the intestinal wall.

Each of these enzymes can bind to a certain type of nutrient via special docking points, the so-called receptors.

For example, amylase breaks down carbohydrates such as starch that are found in potatoes and pasta. Proteases help the body break down proteins found in foods such as meat into small building blocks that are used for the formation and maintenance of body tissues. Lipases help the body break down fat and oil.

The foods we eat also contain important enzymes. Many people claim that the enzymes that naturally appear in our diet are destroyed by modern food processing and preparation methods.
