Premier Digest by Premier Research Labs (60 caps)

Premier Digest is used to promote proper digestion and a healthy digestive tract. These capsules contain a unique plant enzyme blend that consists of the natural enzymes needed to help you digest food. The plant enzymes used in Premier Digest are unique because--unlike most animal-derived or naturally occurring enzymes--they’re able to work in the stomach‚ in addition to the small intestine. Most animal and body made enzymes are only capable of working in the small intestine. Some of the enzymes included in this digestion supplement are protease‚ lipase‚ and amylase. These enzymes are also secreted by the pancreas in order to break down protein‚ fats‚ and carbohydrates. If your pancreas produces too little protease‚ it will allow undigested protein into the intestinal tract. That can result in leaky gut syndrome‚ a condition associated with a damaged or altered bowel lining. If you’re suffering from a gallbladder disease‚ lipase is especially beneficial to those suffering from a gallbladder disease. Meanwhile‚ amylase kicks off the body’s digestion process and is also found in your saliva. Another ingredient in Premier Digest is pepsin; it’s located in the stomach and is involved in the digestion process by breaking down proteins and converting them to amino acids. Maltase‚ invertase‚ and lactase are more specialized enzymes provided by Premier Digest. Maltase’s only function is to break down a certain type of glucose known as maltose. A maltaste deficiency can come from a poor diet; old age; or taking antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Invertase is used to metabolize and digest another type of sugar called sucrose. Likewise‚ lactase exists solely to break down lactose‚ another form of glucose found in many dairy products. If you’re lactose intolerant‚ you know all too well that low levels of lactase can prevent you from eating certain fo
