New Study Supports the Efficacy of Digestive Enzyme Supplements
Whether you're a healthy eater or not, supplementing improves digestion and nutrient absorption, research shows.
Do you spend more than your fair share of time buzzing through fast food windows, chillin’ at Baskin Robbins, or feasting with friends?
We’re all guilty of it at one point or another: Overindulgence. Unfortunately, filling our bellies to the brim — and beyond — will ultimately result in some unwanted consequences.
Heartburn. Bloating. Lethargy. Weight gain.
There is no magic pill to offset the symptoms of unhealthy eating, but we can do something to alleviate the physical aftershocks and promote a healthier body.
For years, studies have suggested that digestive enzyme supplements, when taken regularly, can significantly improve digestion and eliminate toxins from our bodies. Now, new science confirms these earlier conclusions.
Recent research commissioned by the National Enzyme Company (NEC) reveals that taking supplements of enzymes improves digestion and nutrient absorption.
There is no magic pill to offset the symptoms of unhealthy eating, but we can do something to alleviate the physical aftershocks and promote a healthier body.
And it’s important to note that researchers concluded these supplements are not just beneficial for those who occasionally overindulge. Even the most conscientious eaters can benefit from digestive enzymes.
The NEC study found that availability of glucose, digested from carbohydrates, was increased 400 percent in the healthy digestive system model and by 700 percent in a model for impaired digestion when subjects supplemented with digestive enzymes.
The study used a patented computer-controlled gastrointestinal model (TIM), developed by Netherlands-based research organization TNO, which simulates the conditions of the human stomach and small intestine.
This allowed comparison between healthy gastric and intestinal secretions and adults with impaired digestion due to lower levels of gastric and intestinal secretion.
The two extremes were tested because the digestive capabilities of most humans fall somewhere between.
Analyzing digestion of the same meal, the researchers carried out four different tests:
- A meal without the digestive blend under perfect digestive conditions.
- A meal with the addition of a digestive enzyme blend under perfect digestive conditions.
- A meal without the digestive blend under 70 percent reduced gastric and intestinal secretion.
- A meal with added enzymes under the impaired digestion model.
Samples collected at various times during the digestion process were analyzed for glucose and nitrogen content, demonstrating carbohydrate and protein digestion, respectively.
The enzymes improved the bioavailability of both proteins and carbohydrates in the lumen of the small intestine, not only under impaired digestive conditions, but also in healthy human digestion, said Dr. Rohit Medhekar, director of the National Enzyme Company.
Glucose availability was increased 400 percent in the “perfect” digestive system and by 700 percent in the impaired digestion model. Proteins were twice as bioavailable in the impaired digestive process.
“Our research demonstrates that these fungal enzymes not only survive the acidity of the stomach but also are active in that harsh environment where most other types of enzymes are inactivated,” Dr. Medhekar said.
Better Digestion Starts With Oxyfresh's Digestive Enzymes
Ideally, enzymes in food keep your digestive system clean. But cooking destroys enzymes. So does processing food to increase its shelf-life.
In addition to all this, the body’s enzyme production slows after age 35, which means healthy digestion depends on a helping hand. Oxyfresh’s Digestive Enzymes clean your pipes so food doesn’t clog, spoil inside you and spread bacteria that lead to indigestion and illness.
Oxyfresh Digestive Enzymes contain eight essential enzymes, plus:
- Ginger to settle digestive problems with its volatile oils and phenol compounds;
- Gentian root that stimulates gastric juices and helps the body digest heavy food.
Oxyfresh Digestive Enzymes will:
- assure complete digestion
- improve nutrient absorption
- strengthen the immune system
- dissolve fats
- help eliminate gas and toxins
- provide immune system balance
