What are the enzymes in AbsorbMax?Updated 17 days ago

Proteases are enzymes that break down dietary proteins into their constituent amino acids, and they are also referred to as proteolytic enzymes. These enzymes are used to maximize digestion of proteins for improved nutrient absorption and use and to reduce the likelihood of digestive discomfort from difficult-to-digest proteins, such as gluten and those found in dairy. AbsorbMax contains the following proteolytic enzymes:

• Protease SP is a broad-spectrum protease blend; breaks down a wide range of protein bonds
• Protease S is another form of broad-spectrum protease; targets various protein types
• Aspergillopepsin is a protease from Aspergillus fungus. It helps break down hard-to-digest gluten peptides
• Peptidase breaks proteins into shorter peptides and amino acids
• Bromelain is a plant enzyme from pineapple stems that helps digest meat/protein and reduce swelling/inflammation

Carbohydrasesare the enzymes that break down carbohydrates. Below is a list of the carbohydrases in AbsorbMax along with their specific functions:

• Amylase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down longer-chain carbohydrates (polysaccharides), such as starches, into smaller sugars.
• Glucoamylase complements amylase by helping break down larger carbohydrates into smaller, absorbable ones.
• Lactase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down the “milk sugar” lactose into its component sugars, glucose and galactose, and for supporting the healthy digestion of dairy products.
• Alpha Galactosidase helps break down the difficult-to-digest carbohydrates raffinose and stachyose, which are found in beans, for example, that commonly lead to gas.
• Cellulase, an enzyme that is produced by plants but not humans, breaks down the cell walls of plant-based foods (such as fruits and vegetables), releasing nutrients (such as polyphenols) that would otherwise remain “trapped” for the body to absorb.
• Beta Glucanase is another enzyme produced by plants that helps break down difficult-to-digest fibers found in oats, wheat, barley, and other grains.
• Pectinase, another enzyme not produced by humans, helps break down indigestible carbohydrates, such as pectin, found in many fruits and vegetables.
• Xylanase helps break down difficult-to-digest carbohydrates found in wheat, oats, and barley.

Lipase refers to refers to pancreatic lipase used to help break down fats in food
