Digestive Enzymes
Good Digestion Begins With Enzymes
Digestive Enzymes are made by the
pancreas and are necessary for the assimilation of nutrients from food.
Without these enzymes, the body cannot absorb nutrients (vitamins and
minerals) efficiently. Incompletely digested food is associated with a
number of health problems including:
- gas
- bloating
- a sense of "fullness" after eating (not
related to simple over-eating)
- indigestion
- irritable bowel (constipation and/or
diarrhea)
- abdominal cramps.
Other health problems also arise from
incomplete digestion:
- arthritis
- chronic nasal mucous
- allergies
- joint aches and pains
- candidiasis
- high blood pressure
- decreased vitality.
Digestive enzymes taken with
meals assist in digestion and help correct the problems caused by
incomplete breakdown of foods. When digestive enzymes are taken between
meals, they have an anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting effect.
Similase™ This highly concentrated Plant Enzyme digestive formula
is for people on a "mixed" diet containing fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber
& dairy products.
NOTE: Do not use if gastritis or duodenal ulcer
is present. (Use Gastric Complex, described below, instead).
Suggested
dose 1-2 Capsules with each meal.
Dr. Myatt's comment: I believe that virtually everybody can benefit
from added digestive enzymes. Enzymes help ensure proper
assimilation of nutrients, as well as preventing intestinal toxemia.
Plant enzymes are preferred because they function in a broader pH
range than animal-derived enzymes.
