Although essential for digestion, enzymes are often underestimated in clinical nutrition. By definition, enzymes are catalysts that facilitate the breakdown of food into nutrients and other elements that are absorbed by or excreted from our bodies. They also play a role in the inflammation process and can thus help shorten healing time.
AOR Zymes is a complete digestive system support that contains proteases to digest proteins, alpha-amylase to digest starch, and lipase to digest lipids. It also contains alpha-galactosidase for the digestion of hard-to-digest polysaccharides such as those in legumes and vegetables, which are known to cause gas and bloating. AOR Zymes is a cocktail of pancreatic enzymes isolated from pork. Mammalian pancreatic enzymes are similar to those naturally occurring in the human body and are more effective than plant enzymes.
Enzyme supplementation promotes digestive health and efficiency by improving nutrient absorption and partially facilitating the digestive organs' work. The more food particles are broken down, the more nutrients are accessible for absorption, since the body cannot access nutrients from undigested food. Furthermore, the poor breakdown of food debris can lead to allergies and certain digestive diseases.
People who want to strengthen their digestive system, improve their intestinal health and tone, boost their immune system, and relieve discomfort caused by symptoms of digestive disorders such as gas and bloating may benefit from enzyme supplementation.
AOR Zymes contains porcine pancreatic enzymes that provide important digestive support. AOR Zymes also contains alpha-galactosidase, an enzyme that breaks down the indigestible polysaccharides found in legumes to minimize adverse effects associated with their consumption.
