Enzyme Expert Details the Benefits of Digestive Enzymes for Healthy Protein and Fat Digestion

In this podcast, Enzymedica’s Director of Research and Development, Maday Labrador, explains how digestive enzymes breakdown proteins and fats in the body.   This informative training covers the impact of nutrition programs that emphasize the protein macronutrient, and how Enzymedica enzyme supplements help maximize output from protein and fat digestion.

Protein

Protein supplements in the form of powder, bars, or food are often used as part of an exercise regimen. Although protein is very beneficial in this capacity, it can be difficult to digest.  This is particularly noticeable with increasing age. One such form of stubborn protein is gluten, which left undigested can lead to intestinal inflammation and discomfort. Maday Labrador discusses Protein Optimize and GlutenEase, Enzymedica products containing the protein digesting enzyme protease, which aids the body to digest healthy proteins.

Fat

Although fat is often given a bad name, fats are essential to the body’s healthy structure and function.  Also known as ‘good fats,’ Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are beneficial for the body.  Consumers are familiar with these healthy fats and are encouraged to supplement with products like fish or flax seed oils. Unfortunately, some individuals experience digestive discomfort such as occasional indigestion and nausea when taking these healthy oils. This discomfort can be a sign that the oils are not being broken down properly for absorption and are not working at their full capacity. EFA Optimize is an Enzymedica product containing lipase, the digestive enzyme which breaks down fats and lipids. A study done with EFA Optimize showed four times more absorption of fish oil and twelve times more absorption of flax seed oil.
