Full-spectrum vegetarian digestive enzymes to support the digestion of macronutrients*
Mega-Polyzyme™ is a full-spectrum vegetarian digestive enzyme formula providing microbial-derived and plant-derived enzymes sourced from non-genetically modified organisms. When taken with meals, Mega-Polyzyme assists in the breakdown of macronutrients for improved digestion and absorption. *
When the diet consists predominantly of processed or cooked foods without an ample supply of raw fruits and vegetables, or when intrinsic enzyme production is poor, enzyme supplementation may be beneficial. * This vegetarian formula is an effective way to supplement the enzymes our bodies need to promote efficient digestion. *
Stability!
- Pancreatic enzymes are relatively unstable in the digestive tract.
- Mega-Polyzyme Protease resists gastric acid, unlike animal-derived preparations which are deactivated in the presence of acid.
- Mega-Polyzyme Lipase is active over a wide pH range.
- In the small intestine of healthy individuals, pancreatic enzyme activities decline at different rates. Although 74% of Amylase and 22% of Trypsin activity survive to the end of the small intestine, only 1% of initial Lipase activity is still available at that point.
- The greater survivability of Amylase is probably due to its resistance to proteolytic degradation. Pancreatic Lipase is inactivated at a pH less than 4; therefore, animal-derived Pancreatic Lipase will rapidly degrade in the normal stomach reducing its ability to break down fat.
