NOW Plant Enzymes
A comprehensive blend of vegetarian enzymes to aid in food digestion.Demand for plant-based products is increasing with the growing number of vegans, and special dietary needs. And with our ever-changing world where meals are eaten quickly, and world-wide foods reach our plate everyday, our digestive tract sometimes requires help in breaking down the many traditional and new foods that we consume. Often, a digestive enzyme can help extract more nutrition from our meals, and relieve any discomfort that may occur. As the body’s biological workforce, enzymes are fundamental to healthy digestion and metabolism, energy production, and immune system balance. Unfortunately, very few people actually consume an adequate amount of enzymes from their day-to-day modern diets. As the body ages, it produces fewer enzymes with each passing year. Over time, the system-wide effects of insufficient enzymes can manifest in a number of unsuspected ways.
Plant Enzymes provides a wide range of active standardized digestive enzymes to breakdown many food groups such as proteins (meat, dairy and vegetable source), fats, carbohydrates, and dairy. A powerful formula that can breakdown a 4-course meal with just 1 capsule. Proteases can breakdown different protein sources. Amylase will act on starches and carbohydrates. Lipase will act on fats. Cellulase acts on hard-to-digest fibrous plant carbohydrates. Lactase will break down the dairy sugar lactose. Finally, Papain and Bromelain will act mainly on proteins and fats, and are also known as proteolytic enzymes that have anti-inflammatory properties. Vegecap delivery form allows product to go to work within minutes for faster action. Standardized activity levels for each digestive enzyme deliver consistent and reliable results.
