Country Life Power Dairy-Zyme Digestive Enzyme Supplement Capsules contains a natural and active plant enzyme blend that provides 6,000 Lactase Units per serving to help support the digestion of dairy products. Country Life's DairyZyme™ also contains Protease, Amylase, Lipase and Cellulase to support digestive health. It works by helping the body to digest protein, starch, and fat. It also decreases bowel spasms. It helps relieving symptoms of indigestion (eg, feeling of fullness, gas, bloating) that occur after meals. Protease benefits include its ability to allow for the digestion of proteins and the absorption of amino acids. Amylase has the responsibility of helping your body process carbohydrates into simple sugars while protease breaks down protein and lipase is in charge of fat break down. Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats during digestion. It is possible that lipase supplements might make digestion easier. Cellulase is essential to digesting the fibres. It helps convert cellulose into beta-glucose, one of the most fundamental forms of energy in the body. Country Life's Dairy-Zyme optimizes the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates, and protein, promoting optimal nutrient absorption thereby reducing gas, bloating, indigestion, and constipation following meals.
