Digestive enzymes are biological catalysts which break down food into its basic components so that our bodies can absorb the nutrients they require. Cyto-Zyme is a high potency, digestive enzyme complex providing a broad spectrum of plant-sourced enzymes, which digest protein, fat, fibre, dairy, sugars and carbohydrates. The plant-sourced enzymes are bromelain, lipase, protease, amylase, papain, lactase and cellulase. These enzymes are largely resistant to degradation by hydrochloric acid from the stomach, so they may easily reach the small intestine where most digestion takes place. Equally, these enzymes are active in a wide range of pH to allow for individual variations. A small amount of hydrochloric acid is included to support the acidic environment required for digestion. People may have low levels of hydrochloric acid for a number of reasons.
