Our
bodies need proper levels of active enzymes in order to conduct a variety
of tasks, including digestion. While enzymes occur naturally in our bodies
and in many plants, they can be destroyed by pesticides, pollution, some
processes used to cook or irradiate foods, and chemical additives. Enzygen replenishes your enzyme supply to help your body break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins; convert foods to useful nutrients; and complete proper digestion. Formulated with only vegetable-derived enzymes, Enzygen stimulates the release of essential nutrients from food that are critical for cellular regeneration.*
Research Brief
| Enzymes are natural substances created in plant, animal and human cells, and they play a vital role in every activity in our bodies. There are more than 2,700 identified enzymes in the human body, and each affects only one type of chemical reaction. Your body relies on properly functioning enzymes to assist with breathing, digestion, growth, blood coagulation, sensory perception, reproduction and other functions. Enzymes can speed up or slow down bodily processes, and they act as catalysts in metabolism. In digestion, enzymes liberate nutrients from food in the cells and break down nutrients that become the building blocks for cell growth and regeneration. Proper enzyme levels are crucial to a healthy body. To provide a balanced blend of specific enzymes to help break down foods in digestion, Enzygen includes the following enzymes:
|
- Helps break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins*
- Provides important enzymes that help convert
foods you eat into useful nutrients*
- Promotes proper digestion and helps your stomach
maintain proper acidity*
Digestive enzymes that we are born with occur naturally in the body and their purpose is to aid the food enzymes in digestion. Digestive enzymes most commonly known are secreted from the pancreas into the stomach and small intestine. They are protease, which breaks down proteins, amylase for breaking down carbohydrates, lipase for the breakdown of fats, and cellulase for fiber.

- Enzymes are proteins that catalyze a reaction (make
it occur more readily).
- Digestive enzymes aid in the breakdown of nutrient components so
that they can be absorbed from the digestive tract into the bloodstream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q Enzygen contains lactase. If I’m lactose intolerant, can I take Enzygen?
A Yes. Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar) in dairy products. Insufficient amounts of this enzyme in the small intestine means that the lactose will not break down properly and will sit undigested in the colon, ferment and lead to diarrhea and pain. Enzygen may actually help a person with this type of intolerance.
Q Can I take Enzygen while taking Bios Life 2®?
A Yes. Enzygen was formulated to work in combination with Bios Life 2 and will not break down the dietary fiber. The two products are compatible. However, it is recommended that you take Enzygen one hour before or four hours after consuming Bios Life 2 to avoid impeding absorption.
Q The product label says that Enzygen provides prolonged digestive activity.* How is that beneficial?
A If you have insufficient digestive enzymes, food passes out of the GI tract as waste. Enzygen supports proper digestion, which enhances nutrient assimilation.*
Q What are enzymes?
A Enzymes are proteins that break down the food you eat into their basic building blocks: carbohydrates to simple sugars, proteins to amino acids and fats to glycerol and triglycerides. These simple components are then absorbed into your system and used to build new molecules your body needs.
Q What do the “units” mean?
A The individual units are a measure of activity for each enzyme based on conditions in an assay. For example, one LU (lipase unit) is that activity which will liberate one milliequivalent of fatty acids in two hours.
