What is DIGEST MATRIX from Pure Nutrition?
DIGEST MATRIX is a powerful and highly concentrated combination of digestive enzymes for better food absorption.
The digestive matrix from Pure Nutrition contains all the necessary enzymes to successfully digest various nutrients.
- proteolytic enzymes, which are necessary for protein metabolism
- lipases, necessary for the absorption of fats
- amylases, necessary for the breakdown of carbohydrates
The phrase “you are what you eat” is only half true. The real truth is: You are what you digest. Therefore, digestive enzymes are key to better digestion, gut health, and nutrient absorption.
Today, there is an increasing incidence of diseases that, when traced to the source, appear to be related to malabsorption of nutrients due to a lack of digestive enzymes.
The role of digestive enzymes is primarily to act as catalysts to speed up specific, life-sustaining chemical reactions in the body.
Essentially, they help break down larger molecules into more easily digestible particles that the body can actually use to survive and thrive.
The main types of enzymes are:
Proteolytic (Protease)
Proteins start out as a tough, complex, folded structure and can only be broken down or disassembled by protease enzymes. The process of digesting proteins begins in the stomach, where hydrochloric acid unfolds the proteins and the enzyme pepsin begins to break them down. The pancreas releases protease enzymes (mostly trypsin) and in the intestines they break the protein chains into smaller pieces. Enzymes on the surface and inside the intestinal cells then break the pieces down even further so that they are converted into amino acids, which are ready for use throughout the body.
Lipases
Lipase is one of our most important digestive enzymes, released mainly by the pancreas into the small intestine to help the body process and absorb fats.
By breaking down and helping the body absorb fat, it does much more for the body than you might expect – it can naturally help major digestive disorders like celiac disease and serious health conditions like cystic fibrosis.
If you suffer from digestive problems when you consume fatty foods, then lipase deficiency may be to blame.
Amylases (Amylise)
By definition, it is the main starch-digesting enzyme secreted in the body. To be more specific, it digests carbohydrates (polysaccharides) into smaller disaccharide units, ultimately converting them into monosaccharides, such as glucose.
It may come as a surprise, but it's true that the breakdown of larger, more complex starches into simpler sugars actually begins in your mouth with simple chewing. That's why chewing your food thoroughly is truly the key to good digestion and optimal overall health.
Amylase is part of a six-step digestive process that begins with chewing in the mouth and sets off a domino effect of triggering mechanisms and secretions.
In the complex DIGEST MATRIX formula you will also find:
- Cellulase - Helps digest high-fiber foods like broccoli, asparagus, and beans, which can cause excessive gas.
- Lactase - Converts the sugar lactose into glucose and galactose.
- Other enzymes that help with sugar/carbohydrate digestion include invertase, glucoamylase, and alpha-galactosidase.
Why choose DIGEST MATRIX from Pure Nutrition?
Only when all of these enzymes are at the right level in your body can your digestion and overall health truly be optimal.
Taking an enzyme complex helps to:
- better absorption of food
- reducing weight and discomfort
- less gas
- boosting immune defense
- supplying the body with all important substances
DIGEST MATRIX from Pure Nutrition has a GMP quality certificate and is available in the form of vegetarian capsules.
Method of use:
- We recommend taking 1 capsule before each meal. Do not exceed the dose of 6 capsules per day.
