Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health What are enzymes? NOTES • Enzymes are proteins that work as catalysts for chemical reactions within the body. – This can be compared to blowing on a flame to start a fire. – If extra oxygen is not added to the flames, it takes longer to start, or may go out all together. • Enzymes are essential for every function in the human body including: – Eating, digesting, absorbing, and eliminating. – Blood clotting, kidney function, and liver function. – Breathing, talking, movement, and behaviour. – Maintaining the immune system. 1 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health How do enzymes work? NOTES • Many enzymes are catabolic. – Meaning they help to break things down into simpler substances. • Digestive enzymes are catabolic. – They break apart the bonds that hold nutrients together. – (Ex. Proteins are broken down into amino acids). • Enzymes function in different pH’s throughout the body. – Some need a more acidic environment to become active. – Others need a more alkaline environment. 2 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health Digestive Enzymes NOTES During digestion, food is broken down into their molecular components by specific enzymes. • Complex carbohydrates (also called polysaccharides or starches) are broken down by enzymes called amylase. • Carbohydrates are broken down into: – Disaccharides (maltose). – Mono-saccharides (glucose, fructose). • Proteins are broken down into individual amino acids by enzymes called protease. • Fats (lipids) are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids by enzymes called lipase. 3 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health What Causes Enzyme Deficiency? NOTES • Lack of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. – The body requires these nutrients to make enzymes. – Therefore eating processed foods which lack these essential nutrients results in the body creating fewer enzymes. • Age – Over time the body begins to produce fewer enzymes. • Enzymes are found naturally in raw foods such as: – Vegetables, sea vegetables, sprouts and fruit. – Papaya and pineapple are best. • Once these foods are heated above 47°C (118°F) enzymes are destroyed – Exposure to air and light – Limp and pale looking vegetables are enzyme depleted. – Fluoridated water paralyses enzymes. 4 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health Enzyme Depletion from Body Imbalances NOTES Pancreatitis Greatly reduces the pancreatic enzyme production. Gallbladder removal Without a gallbladder, we lose the ability to properly emulsify fats and oils, in order for the enzyme lipase to break the fats down into fatty acids. Poor diet Lack of enzymes in food can put tremendous stress on the body. Imbalance of pH Without proper pH, some enzymes will not activate. 5 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health Symptoms of Digestive Enzyme Deficiency NOTES • Gas & bloating • Flatulence • Diarrhea • Constipation • Leaky Gut • Malabsorption 6 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health Specific Enzyme Action • • • • NOTES Amylase breaks down starch. Lactase breaks down milk sugars. Lipase breaks down fat. Protease breaks down protein. Enzymes the body can’t produce: • Cellulase breaks down plant fiber (cellulose). • Invertase breaks down refined sugar. • Pectinase with Phytase breaks down phytates. Phytic acid is most prevalent in seeds, legumes, and grains. Phytic acid binds with calcium, magnesium, zinc and other minerals in the intestine and can block their absorption. 7 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health The Law of Adaptive Secretion of Digestive Enzymes NOTES • The body adapts to the different types of foods that you eat. – If you begin to eat more carbohydrates, the body will eventually produce more amylase to help digest them. • Taking supplemental digestive enzymes relieves the body from the burden of having to produce extra digestive enzymes. – The pancreas does not stop producing enzymes, it just adapts to what it needs to digest food. – It uses the remaining available capacity to produce metabolic enzymes needed for energy and cell repair. • If you stop taking supplemental enzymes the body will adapt. – It will return to producing more digestive enzymes just as with any other change in diet. Pancreas behind the intestine 8 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health Microbial Enzymes (a form of supplemental enzymes) NOTES • Derived from fungal organisms (Aspergillus Niger) by process of fermentation. • Active in the upper stomach as well as the small intestine. • Function in pH range from 2-14. • Broad action on a variety of foods. 9 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health Renew Life Enzyme Support Products NOTES There are many reasons to take digestive enzymes.

NOTES • Lactose intolerance occurs in people who are deficient in the enzyme lactase. – Lactase is the main enzyme required to break down dairy based products. • Lactose intolerance is common worldwide. • Often, people stop producing the enzyme lactase between the ages of three and seven, making dairy consumption difficult for the rest of their lives. • In most cases, problems digesting diary products are due to trouble breaking down 'lactose', a carbohydrate component in all dairy products. – This inability to breakdown 'lactose' causes painful gas, bloating, diarrhea, and other digestive upsets. • For many people, lactose is not the only problem. – Dairy is a complex food including carbohydrates, protein and fat. – There are some who find that lactase pills do not help their digestion. – They also have difficulty breaking down the fats and proteins contained in dairy. – This is often the case for people who find heavy rich creams and cheeses difficult to digest. 15 Enzyme Support for Your Digestive Health LactoZYME NOTES LactoZYME is for people who: • Have difficulty breaking down dairy products. • Have gas or bloating after eating dairy products. • Have stomach upset, or belching after eating dairy products.
