Digestive health is arguably the most important priority to create and maintain health and vitality. We could have an in-depth conversation about the importance of the quality of food items we’re consuming. However, that aside, once we ingest food, two key functions must work properly for proper digestion to occur. The first one is stomach acid. You can learn more about the importance of stomach acid, and the use of Zypan by clicking here.
The second important function is digestive enzymes. While digestion begins in the brain and continues in the mouth, most of your food is digested in the stomach and small intestine.
As we’re racing toward the holidays, now is the time to plan ahead and ensure you have the tools needed to navigate the myriad of sweets, treats, and sugary concoctions over the next few months. And while we don’t recommend consuming sugary treats, we realize that is a reality for some people during this season.
Real food is made of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Carbohydrates are digested by Amylase (made in the mouth and pancreas). Lipase breaks down fats (made in the pancreas). Protease breaks down proteins (made in the pancreas). Over time, or if we overconsume food, our body can struggle to provide the enzymes needed to digest food properly. This can put an unnecessary burden on the pancreas.
Enzycore is one of many tools available to help restore enzyme function in your digestion. Enzycore, by Standard Process, is a blend of enzymes, glutamine, and whole food ingredients designed to help with digestion. Enzycore contains a host of enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats, and protein. It also contains L-glutamine, which is an amino acid that is a building block for other amino acids, and helps provide energy to cells (including those in the intestines). Enzycore is a solid choice for overall digestive enzyme support, as well as “cleanup work” in the body when taken on an empty stomach.
As we’re on the fast track heading for the holidays, now is a great time to build your digestive power. You can increase your store of digestive tools with Enzycore and products like Gluten-flam, and many others to help you navigate the holidays with success.
