Now Papaya Enzymescombines natural papaya enzymes with Mint and Chlorophyll. This product is good as a digestive aid, and should help with flatulence and bad breath as well. Since poor digestion can contribute to bad breath, Papaya Enzymes and Chlorophyll may help by supporting healthy digestion.
Now Papaya Enzymescontain a blend of helpful digestive aids to help digest all food type, including:
Papain- Papain is derived from the seeds of the papaya fruit. Its main function is to help breakdown and digest proteins in the body, hence it is referred to as aprotein-digestive (proteolytic) enzyme. By effectively breaking down protein papain supplements decrease the number of undigested protein particles that gain entrance to the body. Besides being used as a protein digestive aid, the enzymes in papain inhibit inflammatory chemicals called prostaglandins. The anti-inflammatory effect has been studied for its effectiveness in inflammatory conditions like arthritis and sinusitis.
Bromelain-The bromelains are a group of naturally occurring protein-digestive (proteolytic) enzymes. They are found in the stem of the pineapple. Other components of the stem, including various enzymes and calcium, are also present in commercial Bromelain preparations.
Protease, Lipase and Amylase -The three main categories of digestive enzymes: amylase, protease and lipase. Amylase enzymes digest sugars, for example, like milk sugar is digested by lactase and cane sugar by sucrase. Amylase is found in saliva, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice. Proteases are responsible for breaking down protein. It is found in intestinal and pancreatic juice. Lipases digest fat and are released in the stomach and intestines.
Cellulase-Cellulase is the enzyme that breaks down cellulose or fiber. Plants are a person's only source of cellulase as the human body is unable to produce it. Chewing liberates the cellulase out of the food, but when people eat raw fruits and vegetables and don't chew properly the cellulase is never released.
Digestive Health
The digestive process takes food material, breaks it down into absorbable pieces and transports it into the body. It is a complex process, involving many organs.
Many foods that we eat, other substances we consume and our lifestyles contribute to digestive disorders. Highly processed foods, alcohol, medications and tobacco are difficult for our body to break down and cause great strain on our organs, such as the liver and pancreas. They may also physically damage the digestive lining. Processed foods are also deficient in nutrients so not only does the body have to work extra hard to digest the food, but it also gets depleted of the things it needs to do its work. Water and fibre intake is important to have proper moisture and bulk in the stool and make bowel movements regular.
Support Digestive Health By:
- Chewing food completely.
- Eating several small meals daily instead of three large meals.
- Avoiding fluids with meals
- Eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Avoiding refined, processed foods
- Not overeating.
- Taking a HCL supplement before meals.
- Supplementing with Probiotics.
- Taking digestive enzyme during or after meals.
