Product Information

Enzyme blend (non-animal origin), Lactobacillus Sporogenes, Prebiotics/ Probiotics with Fructo-oligo-saccharides. . Promotes healthy digestion and gut motility, enhances food digestion, nutrient absorption and prevents gastro-intestinal problems and acts as an intestinal sweep to clear the gut of undigested food and toxins. It enhances nutrient absorption, inhibits opportunistic growth infections (e.g. Candida) and prevents indigestion / flatulence, and aids in the digestion by supporting intestinal function.

Description

Lactobacillus sporogenes 1.2 bill cfu (200mg L.s powder) -acid and temp stable - enhances nutrient absorption, competitively inhibits opportunistic growth infections (e.g Candida) and prevents indigestion and flatulence. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are utilized by and stimulate the production of Lactobacillus bacteria (supplemental FOS can increase the number of Lactobacillus bacteria by up to ten-fold). Probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus (eg Lactobacillus sporogenes, occur naturally in the gut and aid in digestion by supporting intestinal function. These friendly flora are sometimes destroyed by antibiotics and foods containing chemicals and pesticides. Supplementing the diet with probiotics can keep the counts of these bacteria high.
Prebiotics are essential fibres that the intestinal flora require as food. These fibres also act as an intestinal sweep to clear the gut of undigested food and toxins.

Fructo-oligo-saccharides (Raftilose 95) - 1000mg - promotes healthy digestion and gut motility, a food source (prebiotic) for gut flora (probiotics)
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are utilized by and stimulate the production of Lactobacillus bacteria (supplemental FOS can increase the number of Lactobacillus bacteria by up to ten-fold).

Enzyme activity is determined and reported according to standard food chemical codex procedures accepted by the FDA.

Dose: 1 capsule three times daily.

Why the enzymes (microbial / fungal enzymes) in SOLAL's Probiotic / Prebiotic / Enzyme formulations are superior to other enzyme products:

Pancreatic enzymes
• derived from animal tissues
• activity limited to a narrow pH range
• very specific in action
• activated by body’s enzymes
• easily destroyed by acidity of the stomach
• delayed effect
• does not break down fibers/certain carbohydrates
• no sucrose, maltose, or lactose activity

Plant enzymes:
• derived from certain plants such as pineapple or papaya
• effective within a broad pH range
• proteolytic (protein) activity only.
Supplemental Dietary Proteolytic Enzymes have been shown to be effectively absorbed when consumed orally.

Microbial (fungal) enzymes (AS USED BY SOLAL)
• derived from selected microorganisms by the process of fermentation
• broad pH range (approximately 3.0 - 9.0)
• activated in upper stomach
• begin working immediately
• broad action on a variety of foods, including protein, fats, cellulose and all starches and sugars, including lactose

Supplemental pancreatic, plant, and microbial enzymes are all designed to enhance digestion. However, plant and microbial enzymes use a "proactive" approach and begin working on foods sooner after ingestion. Pancreatic enzymes usually begin working approximately 30 minutes after food reaches the stomach. Because of their stability in the acidic environment of the upper stomach, plant and microbial enzymes can begin their digestive action immediately after the food reaches this region. With the increased exposure to digestive enzyme activity, food has a better chance of being broken down into small, more readily absorbed particles.

Choosing a quality enzyme supplement is more difficult then just looking for a plant or fungal-based product. Enzyme potency and activity level is not evaluated by weight, because weight does not necessarily correlate with digestive capability. The activity level of a digestive enzyme is measured by assaying the quantity of digestion (hydrolysis) that occurs under specific conditions. This activity depends upon concentration, quantity, pH, temperature, and substrate. SOLAL has taken the guesswork out of choosing the correct enzymes by including the full range of all microbial-derived enzymes in the ideal quantities and ratios.
Supplemental healing

Probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus (eg Lactobacillus sporogenes, occur naturally in the gut and aid in digestion by supporting intestinal function. These friendly flora are sometimes destroyed by antibiotics and foods containing chemicals and pesticides. Supplementing the diet with probiotics can keep the counts of these bacteria high.
Prebiotics are essential fibres that the intestinal flora require as food. These fibres also act as an intestinal sweep to clear the gut of undigested food and toxins.
Dietary Proteolytic Enzymes facilitate the digestion of Dietary Proteins.
Dietary Proteolytic Enzymes help to prevent the proliferation of Intestinal Parasites and Detrimental Microorganisms within the Small Intestine.
