Cyto Zyme

- Broad-spectrum digestive enzyme support to help with the proper digestion of proteins, fats and various carbohydrate sugars
- Includes three distinct proteases that activate at different pH levels to ensure optimal protein digestion throughout changing acidity levels of the gastrointestinal tract
- Ginger root and fenugreek seeds are added for their soothing carminative actions and traditional treatment of dyspepsia and constipation
The human body's ability to digest and absorb food requires a network of organs including the entire gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, liver and gallbladder. These organs must work in unison because each macronutrient requires a unique set of enzymes to aid the digestive process and ensure that food is broken down sufficiently for optimal absorption.
There are many different types of carbohydrates in our diet and, therefore, many different enzymes needed to metabolize them based on specific sugars and structures. For example, lactose is a common disaccharide found in dairy products that requires lactase to be digested into glucose and galactose, while invertase is needed to break down sucrose into glucose and fructose. Starches require specific enzymes such as glucoamylase, amylase and diastase, while the polysaccharide chains in the cell wall of green plants need cellulase to cleave the glucose chains.
Dietary fats must also undergo processing before being absorbed into the body through the digestive tract. For this, gastric and pancreatic lipase are necessary to break down fats into individual fatty acids and glycerol. Finally, proteins require proteases and peptidases in order to create sufficiently small peptide chains and unique amino acids that can be absorbed through the gastrointestinal wall.
As one might imagine, any disruption to the digestive system or relative deficiency of any of these enzymes can lead to digestive upset with symptoms of gas, bloating, constipation, and suboptimal absorption. Cyto-Zyme from Cyto-Matrix provides gentle digestive support with a blend of broad-spectrum digestive enzymes for all macronutrients. Three distinct proteases are included in Cyto-Zyme that activate at different pH levels to ensure optimal protein digestion throughout changing acidity levels of the digestive tract. Cyto-Zyme also includes ginger root and fenugreek seeds for their carminative actions and traditional use to treat dyspepsia and constipation. Available in bottles of 90 vegetable capsules.
