Digest-ALL is a full spectrum plant grade enzyme formulation. It is a powerful combination of proteases, carbohydrases, lipase and cellulase (gas relief). When we eat a meal, the requirements for Digestive Enzymes become a high priority. Its well know that our digestive enzyme production decreases with age but many large meals can cause our body's enzyme making machinery to work overtime and often is still unable to produce and meet the demand for complete digestion. Digestion is the physiological process of rendering the food we eat into the beneficial nutrients our body needs. Since digestion always takes precedence over nearly everything else, many body functions requiring metabolic enzymes are often short changed during these times. The result is a lower disease-fighting capability and a general weakening of the body's ability to mend itself. Because we use up so much of our enzyme potential over the years digesting foods, our ability to keep up with the production of the digestive enzymes begins to suffer. This deficiency can lead to malabsorption, poor nutrition and many digestive problems such as bloating and gas pains. This combination is so well engineered that it has a very broad specificity on various proteins, such as milk, soya, meat and other soluble proteins, to make various peptide chains and finally amino acids. Digest-ALL contains 3 proteases from non-animal sources that are active in a wide pH range of 3 to 9 at body temperature and in the presence of moisture. Proteases can hydrolyze protein to various amino acids. Performance or strength of enzyme activities are measured in the laboratory using compendial methodologies. Digest-ALL provides enough active amylase to assist in the digestion of 30 potatoes, 9 ounces protein and 60 grams of fat. Digest-ALL promotes optimal digestion and reduces our need to produce digestive enzymes allowing our body to manufacture the metabolic enzymes needed to operate efficiently. Finally, Digest-ALL unique proprietary blend of Ginger, Peppermint and Triphala provide a soothing, comfortable and balanced digestion process.
