Digestive enzymes are __biological catalysts produced in the body (i.e. in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas) which break down food into its basic components so that our bodies can absorb the nutrients they require to build and maintain cells, tissues and organs.__ - Cyto-Zyme is a __high potency, digestive enzyme complex__ - Cyto-Zyme provides a __broad spectrum of plant-sourced enzymes, which digest protein, fat, fibre, dairy, sugars and carbohydrates__ - The plant-sourced enzymes in Cyto-Zyme are __bromelain, lipase, protease, amylase, papain, lactase and cellulase__ - We have chosen enzymes that 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. Hydrochloric acid is produced in the stomach to provide an acidic environment for the digestion of food. People may have low levels of hydrochloric acid for a number of reasons
