If you feel that fat digestion may be an issue for you, supplementing with an enzyme that contains a high amount of lipase can help to restore it. Most of Enzymedica’s digestive enzyme blends contain some lipase, but LypoGold has a very high and potent amount of lipase to specifically target fat digestion.

pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity. The human digestive system has varying pH levels throughout its entirety. Constipation is a different kind of intolerance reaction and can take many days to manifest. It is often accompanied by migraine headaches, skin rashes, sleep disruption and a very uncomfortable tummy. Lipase is also important for its ability to help us absorb the vital fat-soluble vitamins A, E, D and K.* These vitamins give us numerous benefits, from promoting skin health to supporting the immune system and proper brain function.*While fat and oils have a bad name in the health world, healthy fat levels are essential for life, and the enzyme lipase is perfectly designed to break fat down to make sure we can get every ounce of the good from the fat we consume.* That’s why Lypo Gold has more lipase than ever. Lipase’s ability to break down fat is especially important for those who need gallbladder support or have had their gallbladder removed.* If you are avoiding certain foods or restricting your diet in some way, TheraBlend™ enzyme products could significantly reduce the symptoms. The stomach – our protein factory

Difficulties in digesting fats can show up in various ways. For some, it may be loosened bowels and others, constipation. There are other clues: Most digestive health problems are triggered by something – perhaps an episode of food poisoning, or sudden and acute gut-disrupting short, or long-term stress; it could be a particular food, or an overgrowth of a bacteria, or fungus. Regardless of the trigger, digestive enzymes mean it’s not necessary to avoid certain foods and suffer symptoms. Why not have a life of food freedom instead?

In conclusion

Our gallbladder is a critical feature of our digestive system. If it has to be surgically removed, this can pose a major challenge for digestion. The only ‘other ingredient’ in Enzymedica enzymes is the 100% vegetarian capsule itself. You will only find active enzymes inside the capsule, therefore offering the highest level of potency. When Enzymedica create their natural enzyme products, through a patented TheraBlend™ process, they make sure they blend enzymes that work at every pH level. If they didn’t, the products may not work in the acidic environment of the stomach, or underperform in an alkaline environment like the small intestine – making them ineffective for the whole of the digestive system.

Products recommended to help with protein digestion are Enzymedica’s Digest Complete, Digest Gold and Betaine HCL. Early signs of digestive stress can manifest as excessive wind, diarrhoea, constipation, stomach cramps and heartburn. Later, those same digestive problems will evolve into more systemic problems such as migraine headaches, eczema, rashes and a whole plethora of other symptoms. Many of these nutrient-deficiency signs, may never be recognisable as being related to digestive health issues. Not only can an enzyme deficiency come from diet and lifestyle, but our bodies naturally produce fewer enzymes as we age. It can be hard to get what we need through diet alone because the process of cooking destroys the enzymes contained within food. Taking an enzyme supplement can help fill in the gap. The human stomach is naturally a very acidic environment, i.e. with low pH levels. However, if you are using antacids or other medication it can become alkaline causing problems like wind, bloating and flatulence. Enteric-coated to prevent self-aggregation and formation berberine crystals that reduce absorption.You may have noticed that Enzymedica’s enzymes are labelled in active units, whilst many other brands state their units in milligrams, but what is the difference? If you have ever had gallstones, high LDL cholesterol, or have had your gallbladder removed, then it’s highly likely that you will have problems digesting fats. This is because your gallbladder plays a critical role in fat digestion. Sugar, or glucose, to be more specific, is the end result of carbohydrate digestion. Some fruit, vegetables and milks, have specific sugars that need enzymes to process them. Lactose, for example, is a naturally occurring sugar in dairy that requires lactase enzyme to digest it properly. Without enough enzymes, our body can struggle to break down troublesome foods, leading to occasional gas, bloating, indigestion and irregularity. With all-natural enzyme supplementation, your body gets an extra boost to the digestive process, helping maximize energy and contributing to whole-body health.*

All of our products are made from only the highest quality enzymes and contain absolutely no fillers to ensure purity. Every product is 100% vegetarian, and we seek out vegan and Kosher ingredients whenever possible. Each product is specifically formulated to provide targeted support for common digestive discomforts, food intolerances, cardiovascular health, proper immune function or healthy inflammatory responses. When we swallow proteins, they enter the stomach all tangled up and we need enough strong stomach acid to untangle them. Then they are broken down by protein-cutting enzymes called proteases. Berberine is an alkaloid found in many plants, but most notably in goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), barberry (Berberis vulgaris), Oregon grape (Berberis aquifolium), and goldthread (Coptis chinensis). These plants have a long history of use in supporting health. Berberine can be produced from various plant parts (e.g., seed, bark, root, etc.). Enzymedica’s Berberine is a sustainable product produced from the seeds of barberry (Berberis vulgaris). There are many sugars that can be found in our food, however, tend to be present in higher quantities in fruit and vegetables. Active units tell you the potency and level of activity of an enzyme, similar to how watts are a measure of the output of a lightbulb. Enzymedica chooses enzymes solely for their potency and effectiveness, not for their weight. Measuring in active units is an internationally recognised standard and makes comparisons of potency easier. So beware, products stating weight in milligrams, are not really telling you as much, as products declaring active units. 3. 'Other Ingredients'

When there is trouble digesting fats, the early signs are heartburn and nausea. Later, bloating, constipation or diarrhoea can occur, often up to three hours after eating.
