Zen Supplements - Superzymes Zen Supplements - Superzymes Multi-Enzyme Formula containing Pepsin, Bromelain, Papain, Pancreatin, & Betaine HCL 90-Tabs

Zen Supplements Superzymes™ is a  multi-enzyme formula containing both animal and plant-derived enzymes - Pepsin, Bromelain, Papain, Ox bile extract, Pancreatin, and Betaine HCL.

Incomplete or partial digestion of foods can lead to uncomfortable side effects, and contribute to nutrient deficiencies. Symptoms such as intestinal gas, bloating, cramping, and heartburn are obvious, but poor absorption of nutrients can go unnoticed. Superzymes is a multi-enzyme formula containing both animal and plant-derived enzymes, designed to support normal, healthy digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.^†

Features

• Contains betaine HCL, a form of hydrochloric acid.
• Provides pepsin, bromelain and papain to help support protein digestion.
• Ox bile extract helps to emulsify fat, preparing it for digestion.
• Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes that help to break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Benefits

• Betaine HCL is a mild form of hydrochloric acid which helps to support the digestive process, particularly the beginning of protein digestion before food moves on to the intestines.^†
• Betaine HCL helps eliminate potential pathogens found in foods and beverages.
• Aging and medications such as antacids can reduce the production and effectiveness of HCL, which may exacerbate digestive problems and other essential nutrients.
• HCL is especially important for the absorption of many nutrients including calcium, folic acid, B12, and iron.
• Besides nutrient deficiency, a reduction in HCL can slow down the digestive process, resulting in food remaining in the stomach for a longer period of time, often leading to digestive discomfort.
• Pepsin is an enzyme that begins the process of protein digestion in the stomach.
• This proteolytic enzyme is designed to function in an environment where there are a low pH and high acid content, such as the stomach.^†
• Bromelain is derived from pineapple, and is a proteolytic enzyme which helps break down protein.^†
• Papain is derived from papaya and provides an array of proteolytic enzymes to support protein digestion.
• Ox bile extract helps to emulsify fat, which prepares it for digestion by fat-digesting enzymes (lipases).†
• Pancreatin contains amylase for carbohydrate digestion, protease for protein digestion, and lipase for fat digestion. The combination of these digestive enzymes in pancreatin has been shown to provide significant support to the digestion and absorption of essential nutrients.
