What is Now Foods Plant Enzymes?
One capsule of Now Foods Plant Enzymes contains 12,500 HUT protease, 2,500 HUT acid-stable protease, 2,500 DU amylase, 750 FIP lipase, 500 CU cellulase, 6,000 FCCPU papain from papaya and 5,000 bromelain from pineapple.
Protease can break down proteins and peptides[1]Protease is therefore involved in the processing and utilization of protein-containing food, such as fish, meat, eggs, nuts or legumes.
Amylase plays an important role in sugar metabolism[2 ] . It can break down carbohydrates into glucose and in this way supplies our cells with energy.
The lipase enzyme is involved in fat digestion[3 ] and can break down fats and split off their fatty acids.
Papain and bromelain also belong to the protein-splitting enzymes. The bromelain used in Now Foods Plant Enzymes was obtained from the stem of the pineapple plant , in which it occurs naturally. Papain was extracted from the papaya , which is naturally found in high concentrations in the seeds.
Cellulases are enzymes that can break down cellulose to ß-glucose[4]. They are mainly produced by symbiotic bacteria in the stomachs of herbivorous ruminants.
In addition to Now Foods Plant Enzymes with 120 capsules, you will also find Now Foods Plant Enzymes with 240 capsules with the same dosage.
