Description**

TPPTM Digest is formulated to provide specific enzymes needed to hydolyze dietary food macromolecules. These macromolecules include triglycerides, proteins with diverse amino acid sequences, starch, xylans, cellulose, hemicellulose, lactose, dextrins and others. The enzyme blends in TPPTM Digest will enhance the digestibility of the molecule; most commonly found in human diets and ultimately, optimize a more complete and balanced procurement of nutrients needed by the body to sustain health and vitality.

Optimal digestion is dependent upon effective digestive enzymes. It has been established that stable ingested enzymes work with endogenous enzymes in maximizing the digestive process.1 TPPTM Digest contains highly active enzymes with a broad range of specificities to handle all food preferences.

TzymeTM Protease - A proprietary blend of enzymes consists of alkaline, neutral and acid proteases with endo/exo peptidase activities. The proteases will help in hydrolyzing dietary proteins as well as cellular debris in the GI tract. This hydrolization process helps to prevent the formation of toxigenic amines.

TzymeTM Lipase Blend - This lipolytic enzymes in this blend ensure hydrolysis of lipids in the GI tract and within some of the herbal ingredients. This will promote bio-availability and absorption of nutrients.

TzymeTM Polysaccharolytic Blend - The enzymes in this formulation are designed to ensure the hydrolysis of the various glycosidic bonds in legumes, vegetables, fruits and other plant materials. Dietary carbohydrates consit of several different types of complex polysaccharides. These polysaccharides provide necessary monosaccharides to be used for energy and synthesis of glycoproteins. The complete digestion of the polysaccharides reduces irritation of intestinal mucosa and prevents excess gas formation in the GI tract. Amylase and glucoamylase are starch (amylose) digesting enzymes from Aspergillus oryzae. Supplementation with amylase and glucoamylase allows digestion of starchy foods during their transit through the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes can tolerate the low pH of the gastric juice. Amylase hydrolyzes the starchy foods and liberates maltose whereas the glucoamylase removes D-glucose residues by hydrolyzing 1,4 D-glucosidic bonds. Glucoamylase from Aspergillus niger can also cleave the 1,6 D-glucosidic bonds found in amylopectin. Malt-diastase and enzyme closely related to amylase, attacks starch at their ends, cleaving off disaccharides. Enzymes bound to the brush border of epithelial cells lining the small intestine then break down disaccharides. The final products, simple sugars, are readily absorbed into the circulation. Cellulase an enzyme that breaks down cellulose, (main component of plant fiber) is not produced by the human body. The addition of cellulase is not primarily intended to break down cellulose to the extent required for absorption, but rather to increase its solubility and thus enhance its ability to bind water and toxins. Binding water increases stool bulk and decreases transit time. Pectinase/phytase respectively break down pectin, a non-cellulose polysaccharide commonly found in fruits and vegetables, and phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphoric acid) found in grains, seeds, rhizomes and other plant material.

Indications:

Impaired Gallbladder Function - Normal digestion of dietary fats is accomplished by lipases with the assistance of bile. Bile is produced by the liver and supplied by way of the gallbladder. The function of bile is to bring ingested fats into emulsion to facilitate the work of the lipases. TPPTM Digest, with its high concentration of lipase, provides the liver and gallbladder with additional assistance. This support can help the body compensate for impaired bile production due to gallbladder stress or removal.

Malabsorption - The absorption of nutrients from the digestive tract depends upon the degradation of proteins and carbohydrates to their elementary constituents, simple sugars and amino acids. The absorption of nutrients derived from fats is somewhat complicated and requires both emulsification from bile and degradation from lipases. Malabsorption of nutrients may arise from incomplete digestion. The broad spectrum of stable and functional digestive enzymes in TPPTM Digest addresses this problem.

Food Allergies - Food allergies may arise from the leakage of undegraded food macro-molecules into the blood. The immune system mounts a response to these "invaders" and becomes primed to strongly respond to subsequent presentations of these antigens. Thorough degradation of the ingested food macro-molecules to their simplest monomers will destroy any antigenicity and reduce the re-occurrence of food allergy.

Dosage: Take one (1) capsule with every meal or snack. Drink at least 8 oz. of water with each dosage. If you have difficulty swallowing capsules remove contents from capsule, mix with a small amount of tepid water and ingest immediately.

Dosage may be increased according to need as directed by health care practitioner.
