Nature's Life Bromelain & Papain Protein DigestIve - 100 Capsules

DESCRIPTION

Nature's Life - Bromelain & Papain - 100 Vegetarian Capsules

Bromelain and Papain is a combination of active enzymes formulated to digest proteins and bromelain from papaya. The 100 percent vegetarian capsules help stomach breakdown food in insurable nutrients.
One of the best  supplements, Bromelain and Papain vegetarian capsules contain the potent enzymes that are derived from pappy and pineapple. Both fruits are known to promote digestion and have array potential benefits as they contain many plant-based enzymes that are used in various supplements to treat medical conditions like bloating and inflammation. Bromelain is very effective for protein digestion and speeding up the metabolism. Promoting a healthy digestive system, Bromelain and Papain improve chemical reactions of acids, bile, and enzymes. Moreover, with the help of proteolytic enzymes, the  supplement breaks down food energy to digest protein. These enzymes further perform various essential processes like protein recycling, blood clotting, and cell division. Bromelain and Papain vegetarian capsules help your body perform vital processes.

Improves Digestive Enzymes
Bromelain and Papain vegetarian capsules have an adequate amount of bromelaina , papain , vegetarian cellulose and magnesium that are necessary to stimulate digestive enzymes. The process is particularly helpful for improving protein digestion. All these digestive enzymes play a critical role in breaking down amino acids and other molecules. Plus, it improves nutrient absorption into blood once digestion process is complete.Similarly, Vegetarian Cellulose is another powerful ingredient in this  supplement that helps in breaking chemical components and producing smaller molecules. Cellulose breaks down dietary fats and speeds the digestion in small intestine.

Includes Magnesium Stearate- a Flow agent
One of the powerful ingredients in Bromelain and Papain is magnesium stearate which is a fabulous lubricant. As it speeds up the metabolism and protein digestion, it is called flow agent, it allows a smooth nutrient absorption while making capsules easy to swallow and move to gastrointestinal tract. Not only this, it also serves the purpose of solubility and uniform consistency to the Bromelain and Papain capsules.

A Perfect Combination of Proteolytic Enzymes
As mentioned earlier, Bromelain and Papain make a great combination of proteolytic enzymes that includes pancreatin, chymotrpsin, Bromelain, and papain. All these enzymes are known to improve digestive process and dietary protein absorption. That is why taking one or two capsules a day is beneficial for the people who have deficiency of these enzymes. The powerful  supplement does not only aid protein digestion but also help you breakdown proteins consumed from fish, eggs, meat and milk.

Reduces Digestive Ailments
In addition to improving protein digestion, Bromelain and Papain vegetarian supplement has a plethora of therapeutic effects. Many recent studies have found that people experiencing indigestion can benefit from the supplements containing proteolytic enzymes. The enzymes may help you reduce bloating, heartburn, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and belching.

Decreases inflammation and Gas
Bromelain and Papain may help you reduce symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions. With proteolytic enzymes, it effectively reduces stomach inflammation, constipation and gas. Moreover, it does not have any preservatives and artificial compounds like di- calcium phosphate that may slow down digestion. Thus, adding this excellent  supplement to your diet (with your doctor’s permission) is an ideal way to improve protein digestion

Nature's Life Bromelain & Papain are proteolytic enzymes that help to digest proteins, bromelain from pineapples and papain from papaya.

Digestive & Enzymes
Digestion is the process by which the body breaks down food into absorbable nutrients. The body absorbs and assimilates everything that we ingest. Digestion includes physical actions such as chewing and peristalsis (involuntary contraction and dilation of muscles to force forward movement), as well as the chemical actions of enzymes, bile and acids.

An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst in a biological reaction. It binds itself to a substance and converts it into another substance. Enzymes are very specific in their functions, which is why there are different enzymes for different biological reactions. In the case of digestion, distinct forms of food require specific enzymes. Food is digested in three areas of the body: the mouth, the stomach and the intestines.

The Mouth
Beginning in the mouth with chewing, food is physically broken up into small pieces to facilitate the beginning of complete digestion. Chewing thoroughly is an important step because smaller pieces offer more surface area for contact with the digestive enzymes and acids in the stomach and are therefore more easily digested. Chewing also stimulates the release of hormones that control appetite. The longer you chew, the less likely you are to overeat.

Only one digestive enzyme, amylase (for starch), is present in the mouth. However, food is normally not in the mouth long enough to permit complete digestion and little nutrient absorption takes place in the mouth.

The Stomach
The primary function of the stomach is to break large proteins into smaller peptides and peptones. The acidic environment in the stomach (1.5 to 7.0 pH) is home to the enzyme pepsin, used to digest proteins. Pepsin breaks up proteins into smaller peptides of varying lengths. Other enzymes such as gelatinase (for gelatin) digest specific proteins. 

Amylase (for starch) is inactivated, or destroyed, when stomach pH falls below 6.5. Before this happens however, up to 50% of starches may be partially broken down. Some fat is emulsified (broken up into smaller pieces) in the stomach by bile acids, and the enzyme lipase, to aid digestion in the small intestine. At the average stomach pH of 2.0, however, most fat is formed into large globules that pass unchanged into the small intestine. Small amounts of sucrose (table sugar) may be broken apart into glucose and fructose by acid hydrolysis from the bile acids in the stomach.

Protein digestibility varies widely:

• from vegetables and fruits: 65% to 85% 
• from legumes: 78% 
• fom cereals and grains: 76% to 84% 
• from milk, meat and eggs: 97%

Bromelain  
Bromelain, derived from the pineapple plant, is one of a group of proteolytic enzymes (enzymes capable of digesting protein).

Where is it found?
Bromelain is found mostly in the stems of pineapples and is available as a  supplement.

Who is likely to be deficient?
Since bromelain is not essential, deficiencies of this plant-based enzyme do not exist.

How much is usually taken?
Assessing the right amount of bromelain to take is complicated. Most bromelain research was conducted years ago, when amounts used were listed in units of activity that no longer exist. These old units do not precisely convert to new ones. Today, bromelain is measured in MCUs (milk clotting units) or GDUs (gelatin dissolving units). One GDU equals approximately 1.5 MCU. Strong products contain at least 2,000 MCU (1,200–1,333 GDU) per gram (1,000 mg). A supplement containing 500 mg labeled “2,000 MCU per gram” would have 1,000 MCU of activity. Some doctors recommend as much as 3,000 MCU taken three times per day for several days, followed by 2,000 MCU three times per day. Much of the research uses smaller amounts, more like the equivalent of approximately 500 MCU taken four times per day. However, most of the bromelain used in the studies was enteric-coated in order to prevent it from being destroyed by gastric juice. It is likely, therefore, that currently available bromelain preparations (which typically are not enteric-coated) are of lower potency than the bromelain used in most studies.
