Promotes optimal GI function and digestive comfort*

Enzymes in Vital-Zymes can support intestinal function, which can alleviate bloating, fullness, or discomfort associated with occasional gas. By facilitating more complete breakdown of macronutrients, this comprehensive group of enzymes supports improved nutritional status. It also supports the breakdown of difficult-to-digest food components such as casein, gluten, and lactose.*

An Uncommonly Comprehensive, Premium Enzyme Blend

Carbohydrate-Specific Enzymes: Amylase, Alpha-Amylase help convert complex starch in root vegetables and grains into maltose, maltotriose, dextrins, and oligosaccharides. Glucoamylase helps convert maltose, maltotriose, and oligosaccharides into glucose.*

Sugar-Specific (Disaccharide) Enzymes: Lactase helps convert lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and galactose. Maltase helps digest maltose in malt, cereal grains, and processed foods into glucose. Sucrase helps convert sucrose (table sugar) into glucose and fructose. Pullulanase helps break down amylopectin starch molecules.*

Vegetable/Fiber-Specific Enzymes: Cellulase & Hemicellulase helps liberate nutrients from fruits and vegetables, making them more bioavailable. Alpha-Galactosidase helps break down hard-to-digest carbohydrates found in legumes and cruciferous vegetables. Pectinase hydrolyzes pectin. Phytase helps break down phytates in grains (wheat, oats, barley) and legumes. Beta-Glucanase helps break down glucans in cereal grains and in yeast cell walls. Galactomannase helps degrade hemicellulose and cellulose.*

Protein and Peptide-Specific Enzymes: Acid and Alkaline Protease helps break down plant, vegetable, and meat-derived proteins. Peptidase and Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP-IV) help break down casein (dairy products) and gluten (wheat, barley, rye) and their exorphin peptides.*

Fat-Specific Enzymes: Lipase helps hydrolyze fats in meat and dairy products, oils in nuts and seeds, and triglycerides.*

Serratia Peptidase: Helps break down casein protein peptides and protect sensitive GI tissues from occasional irritation.*
