Vitakruid Glutazyme, including digestive enzymes and L-Glutamine High-quality enzyme profile
Vitakruid has tried to include a balanced team of many different enzymes in Glutazyme, an overview:
- Chymotrypsin is a serine endopeptidase (enzyme) produced by the acinar cells in the pancreas.
- Papain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from the leaf and raw fruit of the papaya plant.
- Hemicellulase is mainly found in mushrooms.
- Pancreatin is a mixture of the digestive enzymes amylase, lipase, and protease, which are naturally produced in the pancreas.
- Trypsin is a serine protease present in the digestive tract of many vertebrates.
- Bromelain has a supporting enzymatic effect.
L-Glutamine
L-glutamine is a non-essential amino acid, meaning the human body can produce it independently. However, glutamine synthesis may not be sufficient to meet the body's needs. Therefore, glutamine is also referred to as a semi-essential amino acid. Within this digestive formula, L-glutamine ensures optimal synergistic action with the high-quality enzyme profile and the probiotic Lactospore® present in this product.
Lactospore®
Strain bacteria, the type found in Lactospore®, form spores that remain in the stomach and intestines, regardless of your dairy consumption. Therefore, the probiotics in Lactospore® are not comparable to the probiotics you get from dairy products, as is often assumed.
Routine
Rutin is a flavonoid belonging to the flavanol subgroup and has the property of supporting the function of other nutrients. It acts as a kind of enhancer of the other ingredients in the Glutazyme formula. Structurally, flavanol is very similar to quercetin. Rutin is stored in the cell's vacuole and, like many other flavonoids, is water-soluble.
Enzyme activity
When selecting a good enzyme supplement, you shouldn't necessarily focus on the dosage of the various enzymes in the product, but rather on the enzyme activity of the enzymes present. This may sound like an impossible task for the layperson, but even without further orthomolecular knowledge, a good enzyme product is easy to recognize.
