Life Extension Enzalase, 50 capsules

Enzalase represents a new concept in digestive enzyme supplements; its 12 powerful enzymes are balance-formulated to boost the body's ability to digest all major food types while simultaneously stimulating probiotic bacteria (three patents pending). As we get older, food begins to move sluggishly through our digestive tract, which can be due to the production of fewer digestive enzymes. Bloating, flatulence and a lingering feeling of fullness can result. The 12 enzymes in Enzalase work together to inhibit indigestion by boosting the body’s digestive power. In addition, Enzalase stimulates probiotics with bifidogenic enzymes that release soluble fiber – active probiotics further reduce indigestion. Compared to other enzyme supplements Enzalase has the highest lipase (fat digesting) activity at 6000 FIP (Fédération Internationale Pharmaceutique) units per capsule and, since fat slows down other digestive enzymes, having high lipase is vital to improving total food digestion. All of the enzymes in Enzalase are protected from stomach acid by a buffered biogel that insures their safe delivery into the intestinal tract (patent pending). Enzalase stimulates probiotic bacteria in two ways: 1) its high strength lipase, protease, and carbohydrase enzymes work on food to produce cobiotics (fatty acids, amino acids, and simple sugars) that feed Lactobacillus probiotics in the small intestine and 2) its high strength fiber digesting cellulase, hemicellulase and pectinase enzymes work to separate soluble fiber prebiotics from insoluble fiber (both types are found in fruits, grains and vegetables) so these important prebiotics can more effectively feed Bifidobacterium probiotics in the large intestine. All of this happens inside you when you take one high potency Enzalase capsule before a meal. Enzalase boosts the effectiveness of probiotics and it can make the difference between probiotics working versus not working for many people (patent pending). EnzaStim is a unique food grade fat-emulsifier only found in Enzalase (patent pending). When the chyme enters the small intestine it depends on the presence of adequate amounts of bile to insure that fats get emulsified. Fats must be emulsified to be digested by lipase. EnzaStim provides important insurance that this happens.
