Plant derived enzymes and herbs
Enzymes play an important role in breaking down our food so our bodies can use it. There are special enzymes to break down different types of foods. They are found in our saliva, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine.
| Plant-derived digestive enzymes (betaine hydrochloride, lipase, amylase, protease, bromelain and papain), combined with a range of herbs (alfalfa, apple cider vinegar powder, caraway seed, chamomile, fennel seed, ginger root, peppermint leaf and turmeric, with curcumin). |
|---|
| Bromelain |
|---|
| Bromelain is extracted from the stems and juice of the pineapple plant (Ananas). It is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes - enzymes that digest protein. |
| Protease |
|---|
| Proteases or peptidases are enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of proteins and other chains of amino acids in the organism |
| Amylase |
|---|
| Amylase is found in human saliva. This enzyme, in this case a protein, is produced in the pancreas and in salivary glands. The function of amylase is to hydrolyze starch. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which a substance is split with the help of water, whereby the molecule chain falls apart into maltose molecules. These molecules are converted into maltose and glucose (sugars). |
| In addition to saliva, the enzyme amylase is also found in various types of fruit. Amylase, for example, ensures that the fruits have a slightly sweeter taste. This is because amylase breaks down the starch into glucose, which tastes sweet. |
| Papain |
|---|
| Papain is an enzyme that is extracted from papaya. It is a protein-splitting substance. |
| Lipase |
|---|
| Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats and is found in the pancreas and is also found in the human saliva |
