Description
For optimal digestion and absorption of macronutrients Digestion already begins in the mouth. When chewing, the teeth cut and crush food into small pieces and the enzymes present in food are activated. Then, the food arrives in the stomach where enzymes and gastric acid facilitate pre-digestion. Then, the food arrives in the small intestine where it will be digested by enzymes until it is small enough to be absorbed. When food is not sufficiently pre-digested, for example due to a lack of enzymes, the rest of the process will be much more difficult, so that digestive problems may occur. In case of digestive problems (or to prevent them), digestive enzymes can bring relief. The enzymes required depend on the foods causing the problems. For example, proteases are enzymes that help digest proteins (meat, fish, nuts,…), lipase helps digest fats, lactase breaks down the sugar present in dairy products into pieces, thus facilitating the digestion of dairy products, etc. Why choose Alfa Ultra Enzymes? Alfa Ultra Enzymes can be used in case of: √ Food intolerances and allergies (including to lactose, gluten, milk proteins, √ Decreased appetite (geriatrics) √ Irritable bowel syndrome √ Leaky gut syndrome √ Sensation of bloating 1 to 2 hours after meals √ Nutritional deficiencies What makes Alfa Ultra Enzymes so unique? √ These enzymes are active across a very wide pH range between 2 and 10, which makes them very effective, even in people suffering from chronic and acute digestive problems. Thanks to this property, they are active throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract. √ With the addition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), which notably promotes the breakdown of gluten and casein (milk proteins) √ With artichoke extract, which stimulates bile, to promote digestion Synergistic effect This broad-spectrum enzyme complex naturally improves the digestion and absorption of macronutrients such as proteins, peptides, complex carbohydrates, disaccharides, lipids and plant fibres.
