- Natural plant source for digestive enzymes

- Cellulose assists with fiber breakdown
- Bromelain and papain may alleviate indigestion or heartburn
Beginning with the first bite of food until the elimination of waste, the body uses enzymes to process food and make its nutrients available for use. Salivary glands in the mouth along with cells in the stomach, pancreas, and intestines, produce enzymes for a variety of purposes.
Ultra Veggies Enzymes is a natural plant source for supplementing enzymes in the digestive process. A low level of enzymes may result in bloating, gas, constipation and other uncomfortable conditions. Protease enzymes work to break down proteins.
Our formula provides three different pH levels of protease making them useful throughout the digestive track where pH levels may vary. Amylase starts breaking down starches and carbohydrates in the mouth and continues in the stomach. Lipase is needed to digest fats.
Lactase is used for processing dairy products and inclusion in the diet may help ease the symptoms of lactose intolerance in some individuals. Cellulase assists in fiber breakdown while invertase is used in breaking down sucrose (a type of sugar).
Ultra Veggie Enzymes also includes bromelain and papain. Bromelain occurs naturally in pineapple and papain in papaya . Both are often used to relieve indigestion in addition to helping with protein digestion.
Once absorbed, enzymes also serve other important non-digestive services. Taking enzyme supplements improve overall digestion helping with nutrient absorption. Supplements may also benefit individuals suffering from diseases which impact the digestive system like cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and celiac disease.
