Digestive enzymes are catalysts, which break down food into its basic components. Raw foods are rich in enzymes. Cooking food destroys these vital enzymes. Udo's Digestive Enzyme Blend contains high potency enzymes intended for use as a replacement for the enzymes lost in cooking and processing of food. It provides enzyme activity combinations, which are precisely balanced to optimise the body's utilisation of food nutrients.
In addition to five protein-based enzymes, the Ultimate Digestive Enzyme Blend contains all the enzymes required to break down and metabolise fat, carbohydrate, soluble fibre, starch, milk sugar and complex sugars. Udo's Digestive Enzyme Blend contains protease, the enzyme that breaks down protein. The new enhanced formula consists of a total of 62,500 protease enzymes because of the addition of 50,000 papain units (PU) of bromelain. Bromelain is a plant-based enzyme that has been added because it also converts protein to amino acids. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory properties. Lipase, the enzyme that breaks down fats, has also been increased to 150 LU. The blend now contains a total of ten enzymes, instead of the previous nine. It is made from 100% vegetarian source aspergillus using the solid state fermentation process recommended by the FCC, and comes in easily digested vegetarian Vegicaps®. Suitable for
vegetarians.
