Udo's Choice Digestive Enzyme Blend contains the full spectrum of important enzymes necessary to help in the digestion and absorption of all major nutrients. The Enzyme Blend not only aids in nutrient utilisation, but also helps minimise some of the unwanted side-effects of poor digestion, such as bloating, heart-burn and gas. 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 now contains more protease, the enzyme that breaks down protein. The old formula consisted of 12,500 protease enzymes; 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 by 50 lipase units (LU), from 100 to 150 LU. The blend now contains a total of ten enzymes, instead of 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?.
