Healthy digestive function is a first step for the body to absorb and utilize nutrients from the diet. Digestive enzymes are critical to that function, serving as the body’s primary mechanism of macronutrient breakdown. But many factors such as aging and eating a poor diet of excess processed foods can impact the secretion of important enzymes and result in poor digestion. INNATE Response’s Digestive Enzymes Clinical Strength provides a full spectrum of enzymes that can act synergistically to provide digestive support at multiple stages and throughout the digestive tract.

u

The human body naturally produces many enzymes, but this system is designed to be supported by the enzyme activity which naturally occurs in the foods we eat. Unfortunately, this activity is hampered by the processing, pasteurization and cooking of foods that affect their enzyme profile. Coupled with the fact that modern agriculture has diminished the nutrient density of foods1, many patients may be caught in a cycle of nutrient deficiencies and poor digestion and could benefit from a comprehensive enzyme formula that will bridge these gaps.

Digestive Enzyme Support INNATE Response™ Digestive Enzymes Clinical Strength delivers a synergistic, broad spectrum of digestive enzymes to provide activity for overall digestive support

u

It does this by first providing the fiber digesting enzymes that the human body does not produce, with ProCerelase®, an exclusive combination of hemicellulose, beta-glucanase, cellulase, and phytase. This proprietary blend supports improved digestibility of fruits and vegetables by carrying essential enzymatic energy factors that break down the fibrous barrier of plant cell walls to unlock valuable nutrients.

Enzymes for a range of foods Different enzymes work to break down specific macronutrients. The protease family of enzymes breaks down proteins from meat, cheese, legumes and nuts; amylase is an enzyme that is particular to starch and carbohydrate metabolism; lipase helps to digest dietary fats, such as butter and oil; and lactase is specific to the breakdown of lactose in dairy. The INNATE Response formula supports optimal digestion of dietary proteins, fats, and complex and simple carbohydrates.

u The powerful blend of enzymes in

Digestive Enzyme Clinical Strength includes multiple stages of protein, carbohydrate, fiber and lipid digestion support for high potency help to digest a wide range of foods.

u

Varying pH tolerance Enzymes catalyze specific reactions and work most effectively in a particular range of conditions. Changes to the pH in the gastrointestinal tract may also interfere with enzyme effectiveness, as few enzymes are able to survive the pH of pure gastric acid. To address this, Digestive Enzymes Clinical Strength also features a range of pH tolerant proteases (3.0, 4.5, and 6.0) that have been shown to survive and function across a broad pH range and assure the breakdown of proteins as they pass through the gut.

u Studies

looking at the efficacy of these enzymes have shown that in the presence of food, the gastric pH is significantly buffered, ranging from 2.5 to 5.0 depending on the foods consumed. As such, many supplemental enzymes are not permanently denatured or harmed in this environment and may perform optimally. Additionally, studies looking at lactase supplements found that ingestion of milk resulted in a gastric pH of 6.0, which protected supplemental lactase and allowed digestion.2,3,4

Additional enzymatic support Bromelain and papain are also included in the formula to provide an extra protein digesting benefit. Both compounds have long been used in their whole plant or crude extract form, from pineapple and papaya in indigenous medicine for digestive support.

u Modern

research has also investigated these enzymes for potential benefits beyond digestion with encouraging findings. Bromelain, for example, has been shown to have a potential utility in bone and joint health.5 u

Patients who will benefit from Digestive Enzymes Clinical Strength It is known that poor digestion plays an integral role in various health concerns. Optimal digestive function is critical for overall health and wellness. Today, a variety of patients may benefit from digestive support.

• Aging patients may experience a loss in digestive enzyme activity of as much as 50%6. This may result in difficulty digesting dietary proteins, fats, plant fibers as well as complex and simple carbohydrates.

• Patients in need of relief from common digestive complaints, including occasional gas and bloating.

• Patients needing foundational digestive support for overall health. • Vegetarians and others who consume diets high in fruits and vegetables may also benefit from digestive enzyme support.
