Modern day lifestyles and eating habits are contributing to a startling decline in the quality of nutrition that we are able to absorb. A growing number of people are faced with health issues as a result of questionable nutrition from fast food dining and junk food snacking. Others may also have problems with nutritional deficiencies related to insufficient food consumption or a diet with limited variety. All of us need to eat fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and lean proteins, but this does not always happen. Also many lifestyle factors are killing off our natural balance of intestinal flora, called probiotics, which further inhibits our system from even getting the nutrition from the food we eat.

DigestivesPlus.com is proud to offer the first high performance chewable digestive enzyme probiotic combination, which will promote health and wellness by assisting your digestive system in thoroughly and effectively breaking down food. One Ultra-Enzyme Support® PLUS(tm) Chewable tablet with each meal will increase the bio-accessibility of all the nutrients in the food consumed thus insuring the maximum nutritional benefit. The addition of Billions of beneficial live probiotic cultures not only helps digestion, but also strengthens the immune system. Whole food Vitamin C and Chelated Zinc complete the immune support.

Ingredient Overview

Protease - proteases refers to a group of enzymes whose function is to
break down proteins; they are also referred to as proteolytic enzymes or
proteinases. The proteins are broken down to their basic building blocks -
amino acids. In order to have the amino acids available to the body, these
enzymes have to break down the proteins to free them. This important
compound is the key to digestive health. Ultra-Enzyme Support® PLUS™ Chewable
formula contains four different proteases.

Amylase - amylase refers to a group of enzymes that breaks down sugars and
starches. They are required to digest carbohydrates (polysaccharides) into
smaller units (disaccharides), and eventually converting them into even
smaller units (monosaccharide) such as glucose.

Malt Diastase - or maltase, is an enzyme that is the catalyst in the
hydrolysis of disaccharide maltose to the simple sugar form - glucose. When
starch is eaten, it is partially digested and transformed to maltose by both
the saliva enzymes and pancreatic enzymes called amylases. The maltase
secreted in the intestines converts this maltose into the useable sugar,
glucose. The glucose can be used immediately or stored in the liver for
future use.

Lipase - is the enzyme required to break down fats and lipids. In order for
fat to be digested properly, the liver must first start the process by
emulsifying the large fat molecules. Then bile breaks them down to small
droplets, allowing the lipase to start its work.

Lactase - lactase is produced in the small intestine and is required to
break down lactose (a primary sugar found in mammalian milk) into two simple
sugars. It is mandatory in the digestion of milk and milk products. People,
who do not make any lactase, or enough lactase, are considered lactose
intolerant.

Glucoamylase - is used to breakdown carbohydrates, specifically
polysaccharides.

Invertase - this enzyme breaks down carbohydrates, especially sucrose.

Pro-Biotics are organisms and substances that help improve the environment
of the intestinal tract. These organisms produce acids (such as acetic acid
and lactic acid) and other compounds, which inhibit the growth of "bad"
bacteria and promote "good" intestinal flora. Science supports that an
important first line of defense in immunity is intestinal flora.
Ultra-Enzyme Support® PLUS™ chewable supplies three Billion CFU's (in a
days' supply) of the two most important stabilized strains of "live good
guy" bacteria, Lactobacillus Acidophilus DDS-1 and Bifidobacterium Bifidum
are specifically chosen for their special benefits to the immune system and
digestive tract. Along with preventing infective organisms from gaining a
foothold in the GI tract, these strains of bacteria also enhance the
activity of immune cells while improving digestion and good bowel habits.

Bifidobacterium bifidum is a normal inhabitant of the intestines. Found in
large numbers, especially in children and adolescents, the numbers of
bifidobacteria decrease with age. B. bifidum helps detoxify the intestines
and promote regular bowel movements.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus DDS-1. This DDS-1 strain of Lactobacillus
acidophilus is a unique, highly-stable probiotic microorganism, which, when
produced according to Dr. Shahani's proprietary methods, has been shown
through research to display the following characteristics.
