The enzymes in pHion Complete Digestive Enzyme include:

1. For Protein

Bromelain is taken from the stem of the pineapple plant. This enzyme helps to break down heavy proteins (like red meat).

Protease 3.0 is characterized by its ability to hydrolyze proteins under acid conditions.

Protease 4.5 is a mixture of acid, neutral, and alkaline proteases that works to break down protein in the stomach and superior duodenal region of the small intestine.

Neutral bacterial protease has an effective pH range from 5.5 to 8.5, and works synergistically with endogenous enzymes to provide protein digestion primarily in pyloric region of the small intestine.

Peptidase has an effective pH range from 3.25 to 7.5, and works synergistically with endogenous enzymes to provide protein digestion throughout the entire digestive tract.

2. For Fats

Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

3. For Fiber

Cellulase breaks down cellulose and glucans found in fiber foods.

Hemicellulase is a mixture of enzymes which can hydrolyze the indigestible components of plant fibers.

4. For Carbohydrates

Amylase works to break down starch, glycogen, and specific polysaccharides.

Glucoamylase breaks down carbohydrates.

Phytase helps to increase bioavailability of minerals found in complex carbohydrates.

Acid maltase is characterized by its ability to hydrolyze the alpha 1,4 and 1,6 glucosidic bonds in starch, glycogen and other polysaccharides.

Invertase helps in the digestion of refined sugars.

Beta glucanase helps break down glucose polymers in grains such as barley, oats, and wheat.

Alpha-galactosidase digests complex carbohydrates found in legumes, whole grains, cereals, nuts, and seeds.

Pectinase provides humans with an additional source of nutrition and reduces the bulking effect of fibrous foods.

Xylanase provides humans with an additional source of nutrition and reduces the bulking effect of fibrous foods.
