Carbozyme provides amylase, an enzyme that digests starch and carbohydrates in foods such as potatoes, rice, cereals, beans and all legumes. Amylase is normally produced by the salivary glands in the mouth, by the pancreas and by the small intestine. Its function is to breakdown carbohydrates, which are usually in the form of polysaccharides, to disaccharides and then to monosaccharides. Improper or incomplete digestion of carbohydrates may cause a variety of situations such as bloating, flatulence, low energy levels and improper digestion which reduces nutrient availability.
Features
· Provides amylase to aid digestion of carbohydrates and starchy foods
· Provides cellulase to assist in the breaking down of cellulose, an indigestable plant fibre, and to assist the release of nutrients for absorption
· May be useful for individuals with carbohydrate intolerance
· High potency enzyme preparation
· Acid stable against stomach pH
· Able to retain digestive capability over a wide range of pH variances
· Vacuum packed to maintain stability, shelf-life and to prevent moisture uptake
· Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
