Aspergillopepsin (ASP): ASP degrades large proteins into small fragments. Able to aid digestion of gluten, the protein found in barley, rye and wheat.
Amylase: Breaks carbohydrates down into sugars.
Bromelain: Found in pineapples, bromelain delivers proteolytic activity to enhance protein digestion.
Cellulase: Converts cellulose into simple sugars.
Glucoamylase: A vital enzyme that helps the body digest starches contained in common plant foods.
Hemicellulase: Hemicellulose is a substantial component of plant cell walls and includes galactans, glucans, mannans, pentosans and xylans. Hemicellulase breaks down hemicellulose, aiding digestion of fiber-rich breakfast cereals and similar products.
Lactase: Supports the digestion of lactose, found in milk and other dairy products.
Lipase: Lipase breaks fats into their smaller fatty acid and glycerol components.
Papain: A proteolytic enzyme extracted from the papaya fruit adds additional protein breaking power.
Phytase: Works to breakdown phytic acid, a plant-based stored form of phosphorus. May be a helpful addition for those with trouble digesting beans, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
Proteases and peptidases: These enzymes break proteins into their amino acids. Aids in the digestion of cheese, meats, nuts, and grains such as whole wheat.
