Isotonix™ Digestive Enzymes Plus Powder

Isotonix™ Digestive Enzymes Plus, an isotonic-capable health supplement, is a blend of amylase, protease, cellulase, lactase, maltase, invertase and lipase enzymes. 

Enzymes are important for the body’s proper absorption and utilization of food. Enzymes are responsible for every activity of life including the digestion of proteins (proteases), the digestion of carbohydrate (amylases), and the digestion of fats (lipases).

• Contains a digestive blend of amylase, protease, cellulase, lactase, maltase, invertase and lipase enzymes
• Provides enzymes that promote nutrient absorption from foods
• Promotes digestion

Amylase 
Amylases are enzymes that break down carbohydrates so the body can more easily absorb them. 

Protease 
Proteases are enzymes that break peptide bonds between amino acids in proteins. Proteases occur naturally in all organisms and are involved in a multitude of physiological reactions from simple digestion of food proteins to highly complex functions. 

Lactase 
Lactase is involved in the hydrolysis of lactose into the smaller sugars galactose and glucose. In humans, lactase is present in the small intestine. Lactase is essential for digestive hydrolysis of lactose in milk. 

Lipase 
Lipase is an enzyme that aids in the digestion of lipid (fat) substrates. Lipase acts to convert fats and triglyceride substrates found in oils from food to monoglycerides and free fatty acids. 

Cellulase 
Humans do not produce cellulase in their bodies, and are, therefore, unable to use most of the energy contained in plant material. Cellulase is a plant enzyme that aids in the digestion of fibrous substances. 

Maltase 
Maltase is an enzyme that aids in the digestion of the disaccharide maltose. 

Invertase 
Invertase is the enzyme involved in the breakdown of sucrose to fructose and glucose.

What are Digestive Enzymes? 
Digestive enzymes are special catalytic proteins that help our bodies break down food to utilize the complete spectrum of nutrients in the food we eat. Isotonix Digestive Enzymes acts to supplement and maximize the activity of the body’s own enzymes in an easy-to-take, pleasant-tasting drink. Isotonix Digestive Enzymes provides additional digestive enzymes for the body in order to maximize the absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. 

How do enzymes function in the body? 
Enzymes are the workhorses of our cells. They are proteins that catalyze many thousands of biochemical reactions in the body. While most enzymes work inside our cells, digestive enzymes operate outside the cells in the gastrointestinal tract. 

The start of digestion begins with digestive enzymes secreted by salivary gland cells into our mouths. Cells lining the gastrointestinal tract also contribute enzymes such as pepsin in the stomach. In addition, digestive enzymes are produced in the pancreas and are emptied into the upper part of the small intestine. 

These enzymes help to break apart proteins, starch, lactose and fats, allowing the body to optimize its effort to digest food. The result is a more complete digestive process, resulting in good nutritional absorption. 

Isotonix Digestive Enzymes supplies enzymes that are not inactivated by stomach acid. What this means is that the supplemental enzymes mix with and work in concert with the ingested food and begin to work with the body’s own digestive enzymes to release as many of the nutrients as possible. 

How do we digest food? 
Even before we eat our body‘s digestive action begins to take place. Simply smelling food activates our salivary glands ("mouthwatering"). As the food enters the stomach, the stomach acid and pepsin work together to begin breaking the food down into material the small intestine (where most nutrients are absorbed) can use. Enzymes specific to each of the three nutrient groups are released at this stage, further breaking down the food and contributing to digestion and absorption. 

Does Isotonix Digestive Enzymes contain pork or port products? 
No. 

Is Isotonix Digestive Enzymes vegetarian? 
Yes. 

Is Isotonix Digestive Enzymes manfactured in a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility? 
Yes, this product is manfactured in a GMP compliant facility which is inspected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States of America.
