Description
What is XYMOGEN XymoZyme?
Xymogen XymoZyme is a cost-effective, non-prescription, broad-spectrum digestive enzyme formula that is suitable for vegans and designed to support the digestion of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, and lactose. This comprehensive formula contains key digestive enzymes such as lipase, proteases, alpha-galactosidase, hemicellulase, papain, lactase, and more. Unlike porcine pancreatin, which functions within a narrow pH range, XymoZyme works effectively across a wide pH range.
For food to be absorbed into the bloodstream, it must first be broken down into its component parts. The digestion process begins with salivary secretions, chewing, gastric acid, and pepsin, but the majority of digestion occurs in the small intestine. Once food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine, digestive enzymes play a crucial role in converting it into the building blocks and fuel the body needs for structural support and metabolic processes.
Digestive enzymes are primarily produced in the pancreas and the brush border of the small intestine, making the health and function of these organs essential for effective digestion and nutrient absorption. Proteolytic enzymes, amylases, and lipases are responsible for breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, respectively. The complete digestion of these macronutrients yields small peptides, amino acids, monosaccharides, disaccharides, and free fatty acids that can easily pass through the intestinal microvilli and enter the bloodstream. Healthy digestion ensures that incompletely digested molecules and proteins do not enter the bloodstream, where they could be recognized as “foreign” by the immune system.
What is in XymoZyme?
XymoZyme contains several key digestive enzymes, along with additional enzymes designed to break down plant compounds and fibers that humans typically cannot digest. One of these enzymes, alpha-galactosidase, is essential for breaking down raffinose and melibiose—carbohydrates commonly found in legumes. Without this enzyme, these carbohydrates pass into the large intestine, where they are fermented by microbes, producing gas. The inclusion of alpha-galactosidase in XymoZyme supports the digestion of these plant-based compounds and has been used safely and effectively.
In addition to alpha-galactosidase, XymoZyme contains other important enzymes such as beta-glucanase, hemicellulase, pectinase, xylanase, and dipeptidyl peptidase (DPPIV). These enzymes enhance the digestibility of plant-based foods by breaking down plant cell walls, fibers, and proteins.
Phytase is also included to help break down indigestible phytates found in grains and seeds, making nutrients like phosphorus, calcium, and inositol more available for absorption. Additionally, bromelain and papain contribute support for protein digestion, while the enzyme invertase catalyzes the conversion of sugar into glucose and fructose.
