Food supplement based on digestive enzymes.
Food digestion begins in the mouth, where the mechanical cutting process operated by the teeth, together with the action of salivary enzymes, initiates the breakdown of food. In particular, carbohydrates are attacked by salivary amylase and lingual lipase begins to break down lipids. Next, digestion proceeds in the stomach, where hydrochloric acid and a mix of digestive enzymes, including pepsin, continue the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. In the small intestine, pancreatic juice and bile, produced by the pancreas and gallbladder respectively, emulsify fats and carry on the breakdown of carbohydrates and proteins. It is here that the absorption of nutrients mainly takes place.
Sometimes, when you experience a feeling of difficulty in digestion, you may be tempted to take an antacid or bicarbonate. This offers relief by reducing the symptoms of indigestion (such as acidity of the stomach) but does not actually aid digestion. On the contrary, it may slow down the acid-mediated food breakdown process.
Digestion and absorption of nutrients: enzymes such as protease, amylase, amyloglucosidase and lipase play a crucial role in the digestive process, respectively breaking down proteins, carbohydrates and fats into smaller components that can be easily absorbed by the body. By taking these enzymes externally, we help the enzymes naturally present in our digestive system to complete the job when faced with a particularly large or heavy meal.
Many factors of the modern lifestyle, such as an unbalanced diet, the consumption of precooked and processed or poorly cooked food, and the use of alcoholic beverages, can lead to a natural reduction in the production of digestive enzymes in the body. The supplement provides external enzyme support to make up for these deficiencies, facilitating the digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Effective digestion helps prevent common problems such as bloating, gas, reflux and post-prandial discomfort.
The enzymes in these capsules can help reduce these symptoms by improving the breakdown of food in the digestive tract.
