Vega digestive enzymes formula provides a combination of enzymes that may help in the breakdown of foods such as fats, proteins, starches & fibre. Digestive enzymes are secreted in various parts of the gastro-intestinal tract, helping to digest & breakdown food & unlocking vital nutrients that are then absorbed into the blood stream. Various factors can affect the bodys capacity to manufacture these enzymes, which may lead to poor digestion & malabsorption of nutrients. The bodys ability to produce enzymes may decrease with ageing; hence a supplement may be of benefit to the elderly. Various foods can provide a source of enzymes; however they must be consumed raw as heat can destroy the enzymes. Suggested Use Adults

Our children's future health is determined by their environment, the food they eat, the media they consume, the way they use their bodies, the love (or abuse) they receive, & the chemicals to which they are exposed. We have recently become aware of the increasingly large numbers of children who are overweight, suffering from mental illness, & other health problems. Fortunately it's not too late to do something about this because children are extremely resilient & because the body of research on the role of nutrition in health & disease is pointing the way toward natural approaches to our children's health care. Digestive Wellness for Children is a primer for all parents who are interested in learning about & actively supporting their children's digestive health. It gives you practical instructions for keeping children healthy, for healing them when they aren't, & for feeding them healthy foods that will provide the nutrients they need to stay well & strong from infancy through the teen years.

Digestizyme® provides a broad spectrum of plant-sourced enzymes: lipase, protease, glucoamylase, cellulase, bromelain & papain. Digestizyme® is suitable for vegetarians. Digestive enzymes are secreted into the digestive tract to break down food matter into its component nutrients. These can then be absorbed across the gut wall into the bloodstream. If this enzyme system does not work effectively, there may be reduced absorption of nutrients. Also, undigested food passing into the large intestine can be fermented by the resident bacteria, causing flatulence, bloating & diarrhoea.  Digestive enzymes are secreted into the digestive tract to break down food matter into its component nutrients. These can then be absorbed across the gut wall into the bloodstream. If this enzyme system does not work effectively, optimal health cannot be maintained because of the failure to absorb the nutrients needed. Also, undigested food passing into the large intestine will be fermented by the resident bacteria, causing flatulence, bloating & diarrhoea. As we age, our natural production of enzymes declines & it is recognised that during illness enzyme production can be significantly reduced. In these situations a supplement providing suitable digestive enzymes can make a useful contribution to the smooth working of the digestion process. Digestizyme provides a broad spectrum of plant-sourced enzymes, which digest protein, fat & carbohydrate. The advantage of plant-sourced enzymes is that quality control is assured & contamination is significantly reduced compared with animal sources. We have chosen enzymes that are largely resistant to degradation caused by the highly acidic conditions in the stomach so that they will still be active when they reach the small intestine where most digestion takes place. Daily Intake: 1 to 3 capsules A beige powder in a clear hard shell capsule. Each capsule delivers: Enzyme activity* Liplase 313 FIP Amylase 5000 DU Protease 4.5 10000 HUT Protease 3.0 10 SAPU Glucoamylase 9 AGU Cellulase 200 CU Bromelain 120000 PU Papain 50000 PU * The enzyme activity is measured & expressed in Food Chemical Codex (FCC) units, the national standard for plant enzymes. Encapsulated With: Rice Bran, Capsule Shell (Vegetable Cellulose) Disintegration Time Less than 30 minutes. Suitable for vegetarians. ...

Enzymes help break down & digest food so the body can use it. Fresh, raw foods contain plenty of enzymes to help with digestion, but with today's diet of cooked & processed foods, many of the natural enzymes are cooked out. Without the enzymes needed for proper digestion, the body may not be able to digest & absorb the valuable nutrients it needs. Everyone can benefit from taking digestive enzymes with their meals, as they help maximize the nutrient intake from food. ...
