I get a lot of digestive disturbances, will enzymes help me?

People that are enzyme deficient experience disturbed digestion. They report a bloated, uncomfortable feeling after eating particular foods. This could be a sign that there are insufficient enzymes to help digest those foods. Many foods contain complex sugars. If these sugars cannot be broken down, they will sit in the large intestine and putrefy. This causes that bloated feeling and gas. Enzymes can assist as they help to break down the food that we eat.

When do I take enzymes?

Take the enzymes just before or during your meals. They can also be taken in between meals.

Top

What type of digestive disturbances do enzymes help?

They help heartburn, indigestion, flatulence, and the processing of our foods.

Top

Are there other ways to help indigestion, gas and bloating?

Yes, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to make sure you chew your food thoroughly and drink lots of water each day.

Top

Should I take antacids?

This is a personal choice. Antacids neutralize the hydrochloric acid that your stomach makes to break down proteins. Without sufficient hydrochloric acid you can't completely digest meats, fish, beans and soy.

What is Elite-Zyme Ultra?

Elite-Zyme Ultra is a high activity and comprehensive blend of digestive enzymes in a broad pH range to aid in food digestion and nutrient absorption.

Top

Why should I consider taking enzymes?

Enzymes are the force that allows our body to digest and absorb food. Our body requires enzymes and minerals to regulate every biochemical and metabolic process in our bodies as well as all living things.

What conditions may enzymes help?

Elite-Zyme Ultra may help heartburn, bloating, indigestion, chronic fatigue, high cholesterol, heart disease, intestinal & colon problems, constipation or chronic constipation.

Can you provide any other information on enzymes?

The following is a study that is outlined in the booklet by Tonita d' Raye!
Dr. Francis Pottenger conducted a now-famous independent study about the long-term effects of eating cooked foods. The study about the long-term effects of eating cooked foods. The study involved 900 cats over the course of ten years. During the study, Dr. Pottenger fed two sets of cats raw milk and meat and another three sets of pasteurized milk and cooked meat. Cats that ate the raw food were healthy and disease-free and produced healthy kittens generation after generation. At the end of the first generation, cats that ate cooked foods were lethargic and began to suffer from allergies, infections, and other maladies, including kidney, heart, thyroid, and gum diseases. Each succeeding generation of cats that ate cooked food showed progressively more illness and disease. The third generation of cats that ate cooked food were not even able to produce offspring.
Whether we are cats, dogs, or human beings, when enzyme-dead food is eaten, the body is overburdened to produce enzymes to aid in the process of digestion. The body will actually interrupted the making of vital metabolic enzymes in order to compensate for the enzyme deficiencies in the foods we eat. Enzyme-less diets are responsible for many of humanity’s ills, including the shortening of lives. Today, doctors are treating children for juvenile arthritis, sugar diabetes, and other degenerative diseases that just a few years ago were found only in people in their fifties and sixties.
After thinking about the study above, many of us may believe that if we want to improve our health and longevity, we can eat more raw vegetables and fruits. And take digestive enzymes to replace the enzymes that were destroyed during the cooking process.

Can you tell me what is used in Elite-Zyme Ultra enzymes?

The formula utilizes only plant-based enzymes from Aspergillis Orzae, Aspergillus Niger, Rhizopus-Oryzae, Saccharomyces and plant (bromelain & papain). This is a full spectrum high activity formulation designed for our digestive system when eating cooked and processed foods.

What does Elite-Zyme Ultra contain?

Enzymes in this product are listed below with their purpose for assisting in breaking down foods.
Protease: Breaks down protein to peptides and amino acids.
Acid Stable Protease: Breaks down Acidic protein.
Papain: Protease enzyme that also breaks down protein.
Bromelain: Protease enzyme that also breaks down protein.
Amylase: Breaks down starch "-1,4 glucan bonds". Breaks down carbohydrates, starches, and sugars that are prevalent in potatoes, fruits, vegetables, and snack foods.
Amyloglucosidase (Glucoamylase): Breaks down starch "-1,4 and –1,6 glucan bonds" (goes one step beyond Amylase).
Malt Diastase: Digests maltose, malt and grain sugars. Breaks down complex and simple sugars.
Lipase: Breaks down fats (triglycerides and other lipids) and oils. Useful in aiding in weight control, maintaining and enhancing cardiovascular health, and helping maintain proper gall bladder function.
Lactase: Aids in the digestion of lactose. Lactase breaks down lactose that is found in milk sugars. Useful for individuals suffering from lactose intolerance.
Alpha Galactosidase: Active ingredient found in Beano. Breaks down of raffinose, stachyose and melibiose. Beano helps to prevent gas, bloating and pressure caused by many healthful foods (broccoli, cabbage, carrots, onions, peppers, corn, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, beans, peas and more).
Cellulase: Cellulase increases the availability of anthocyanidins, powerful antioxidants from grapes and other berries. Cellulase breaks down fiber, helping to solubilize nutrients from fruits and vegetables.
Hemicellulase: Hemicellulase is a group of enzymes that hydrolyzes the complex polysaccharides known as hemicellulose. Hemicellulose is highly viscous (sticky) compounds that bind digestive enzymes and decrease the rate of nutrient assimilation. Hemicellulase increases protein absorption from various grains.
Invertase (Sucrase): Catalyzes the inversion of sucrose (table sugar) to glucose and fructose.
Phytase: Breaks down phosphate and digests phytate. Phytate is a mineral-binding agent that reduces the bioavailability of certain minerals such as zinc, iron, and calcium. When cooked grains are eaten, almost none of the phytate is degraded. Results from research by Ann-Sofie Sandberg of Goteborg University in Sweden, indicate that dietary phytase is critical for human digestion of phytate.
Pectinase: Breaks down pectin that is found in fruits, which allows these vital nutrients to be utilize by our body.
Ionic Trace Minerals with Alfalfa : Provides the minerals to enhance the functions of the enzymes.
