Speciality » Probiotics and Digestive Health
Digestive enzymes are complex proteins involved in digestion that stimulate chemical changes in other substances. There are three classes of digestive enzymes: proteolytic enzymes needed to digest protein, lipases needed to digest fat and amylases needed to digest carbohydrates. Only small amounts of the animal-based proteolytic enzymes, trypsin and chymotrypsin, are found in the diet; however, the pancreas can synthesise these enzymes. The plant-based proteolytic enzyme bromelain comes from the stems of pineapples and is useful in many conditions. Papain comes from unripe papayas. All of these enzymes are available as supplements. Certain medicines interact with probiotics (Penicillins etc) and some interactions may increase the need for probiotics.

Burdock Root - Burdock is one of the most valuable of all plants in terms of prebiotic properties. The root contains a remarkably high percentage of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), making it one of the most useful tools for enhancing beneficial bacteria. One of burdock's major prebiotic compounds, inulin, also may help support healthy immune function.
Beet Root - The beet root is a good source of the prebiotic and immune supportive oligosaccharide inulin.
Stabilized Rice Bran (SRB) - SRB contains both insoluble and soluble forms of fibre, which support the overall benefits of probiotic bacteria in maintaining a healthy digestive tract. Especially significant to the role of beneficial bacteria is the content of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in SRB. FOS is a type of indigestible carbohydrate which acts as a prebiotic (a substance that enhances the viability and/or activity of beneficial digestive bacteria).
