Digestive enzymes are as essential to life as food and water, yet they remain one of the most underappreciated factors in the field of clinical nutrition. They are the catalysts that facilitate the breakdown of food into nutrients and other particles that are absorbed by, and excreted from, our bodies. Those who wish to support their digestive system and alleviate uncomfortable digestive symptoms such as gas and bloating can benefit from enzyme supplementation.
AOR Zymes contains proteases to digest proteins, alpha amylase to digest starches, lipase to digest fats and alpha galactosidase for hard-to-digest polysaccharides found in legumes and vegetables that can cause gas and bloating. They are porcine pancreatic enzymes, meaning they are derived from pigs.
Enzyme supplementation promotes the health of the digestive organs by facilitating digestion itself. It increases the efficiency of the digestive process by alleviating some of the burden from the digestive organs and improving nutrient absorption. Since the body cannot access nutrients in undigested food, the more food particles can be broken down, the more nutrients are made accessible to the body for absorption. This helps reduce gas production and flatulence following a meal rich in fermentable carbohydrates (such as vegetables, pulses/legumes/beans and whole grains).
Recommended Use: Helps prevent gastrointestinal intolerance.
Recommended Dose: Adult Dosage. Take one capsule immediately before a meal one to four times daily, or as directed by a qualified health care practitioner. Use the smallest effective dose which controls symptoms. Swallow whole; do not open capsules as it may compromise the stability of the medicinal ingredients.
Cautions & Warnings: Consult a health care practitioner for prolonged use or for use beyond four weeks. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, if you have diabetes, pancreatitis, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency or cystic fibrosis. Do not use if you are sensitive to pancreatic enzymes or pork proteins. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain/epigastric pain, heartburn, and/or hypersensitivity/allergy have been known to occur, in which case discontinue use and consult a health care practitioner. If symptoms persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult a health care practitioner.
