With a healthy digestive system we avoid or improve disorders such as: lactose intolerance, flatulence, feeling of heaviness and bloating, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis. DIGEZYME® (ALPHA AMYLASE, NEUTRAL PROTEASE, CELLULASE, LACTASE AND LIPASE): Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates. Protease, an enzyme that helps digest proteins. It has the ability to act on the peptide bonds of protein macromolecules, reducing them to organic monomers called amino acids. Cellulase, a hydrolase enzyme that can degrade cellulose, converting it into glucose. Lactase, an enzyme (of the ?-galactosidase type) essential in the process of converting lactose, a double sugar (disaccharide), into its components glucose and galactose. Lipases are enzymes that break down covalent bonds between complex lipids, converting them into glycerols and fatty acids that the body can assimilate. Probiotic consumption improves intestinal balance, increasing the protection of the intestinal barrier, and is an effective aid in cases of intestinal motility disorders (both due to deficiency and excess). Proteolytic enzymes are extracted from pineapple and papaya fruits. Unlike most digestive enzymes, bromelain is active over a fairly wide pH range (4.5–9.8), allowing it to act in both the acidic environment of the stomach and the alkaline environment of the small intestine. Betaine: Used for homocysteinuria (a hereditary disease in which the body cannot break down a certain protein, leading to a buildup of homocysteine in the blood). L-METHIONINE: An essential amino acid in the body, but which our body does not produce, and is responsible for transporting fat to the cells to convert it into energy. Artichoke: ESCOP recommends its use for digestive discomfort (e.g., stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, feeling of fullness, flatulence) and hepatobiliary dysfunction. Activated charcoal is known for trapping harmful chemicals and toxins. It acts on the entire stomach and both intestines and is said to reduce the amount of toxic substances by up to 60%. It helps promote a healthier digestive system. All of these plants have carminative effects, recommended for the treatment of dyspepsia, colic, spastic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, flatulence, and a feeling of satiety. Its root is the main bitter tonic remedy used in folk medicine. It is considered especially useful in states of decline due to chronic illness and in all cases of weakness of the digestive system and lack of appetite.
