Designs For Health – Digestzymes – 180 vegetarian capsules

A combination of the most important enzymes for digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates

In order to assimilate vitamins and nutrients from our food and supplements, we must be able to digest them properly. Studies show that the foods in the typical American diet are devoid of natural enzymes and do little to help secrete our own production of enzymes. Thus, foods do not get digested well and nutrients from food are poorly absorbed. Poor digestive health can lead to various health disorders. Many health experts agree that regular consumption of enzymes and enzyme-rich foods is a key to vibrant health, disease prevention, and anti-aging. Every cell in the body needs enzymes for its biochemical functions, thus a deficiency will accelerate the aging process.

Digestzymes is a synergistic blend of enzymes important for the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates

The pancreas produces enzymes that are required for digestion and absorption of food, including lipases that digest fats, proteases that digest proteins, and amylases that digest starch. Production of our own digestive enzymes declines 1% every three years after age thirty. If food is not digested properly and toxins are not eliminated, disease often ensues. In addition, virtually every chronic condition will worsen if the intestinal tract accumulates toxic by-products. Although most do not know it, many people need to supplement digestive enzymes for optimal digestion and assimilation of nutrients from food. Symptoms of digestive enzyme deficiency include gas, bloating, constipation, malabsorption and a feeling of fullness after eating only a small quantity of food.

Digestzymes combines betaine HCL with digestive enzymes to support optimal digestion of food. This formula is designed to aid digestion of commonly difficult proteins and sugars, containing special protease DPP IV (dipeptidyl peptidase IV), which aids in the breakdown of casomorphin from casein and gluteomorphin from gluten. Further, more than 7 million Canadians experience lactose intolerance; Digestzymes provides a solution via lactase, the enzyme which degrades lactose. Canadians have some of the highest rates of digestive disorders in the world and Digestzymes may be a valuable part of the GI healing process.

Inflammatory Disease

Proteases in Digestzymes prevent tissue damage during inflammation and modulate fibrin production. Fibrin promotes inflammation by forming a wall around the area of inflammation that results in the blockage of blood which leads to swelling. Fibrin can also cause the development of blood clots that may dislodge and produce strokes or heart attacks.

Food Allergies

Individuals who do not secrete enough proteases suffer from multiple food allergies. Failure to digest food allows for large molecules of undigested food to be absorbed and cause such problems as food allergies, leaky gut syndrome, colitis, and depressed immune system. Proteases are essential to prevent deposition of immune complexes in body tissue and reduce circulating immune complex levels in patients with autoimmune disease. Undigested food also allows yeast organisms to thrive. Thus, those with Candida Albicans may benefit from Digestzymes supplementation with their meals.

Weight Loss

Digestzymes can also be an important adjunct to a healthy weight management program. Better digestion of food allows for faster bowel transit time and more frequent bowel movements, both of which aid weight loss.

Suggested Dose: Take 1 capsule with meals, or as recommended by a health care practitioner. Do not take with history of ulcers.
