Digestive Enzymes

Adult serving suggestion: For healthy bowel maintenance: Mix 2 rounded teaspoons (5g) 1-2 times daily, with a glass of water or fruit juice, stir well and consume immediately. Lifestream Bowel Biotics Fibre + Enzymes is a completely natural formula that contains a potent blend of psyllium fibre, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes and herbs to supports digestive and bowel health while aiding regular bowel movements.

A diet high in processed foods, ill health, digestive issues, and even the natural aging process can cause the number of natural digestive enzymes in the body to decline.  This can lead to bloating, a slow transit time of poorly digested waste matter from the bowels, damage to the gut flora and poor absorption of nutrients from food.

Psyllium husks (fibre) Psyllium husk is approximately 2/3 soluble fibre (helps to bind with toxins and waste) and 1/3 insoluble fibre (creates bulk and helps to move waste through the bowel) making an ideal mix of both types of beneficial daily fibre. When water is added to psyllium husks, a soft gel forms and this results in softer and smoother waste elimination and encourages the presence of natural bacteria in the bowel.

Inulin (prebiotics) Inulins are naturally occurring oligosaccharides (several simple sugars linked together) that are resistant to digestion in the stomach and intestines but are metabolized in the colon by bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Inulins stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria while simultaneously reducing the population of unfriendly bacteria in the colon. Recently studies have shown regular use of Inulin supports healthy fat levels around internal organs.

Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria (probiotics) Probiotics are live microbial organisms that populate the gut (such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria) that are beneficial to health. ‘Good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria are continually competing with each other in the gut and it is now clearly recognised that long term health of the bowels and overall wellbeing can depend on maintaining a favourable balance of friendly bacteria in the colon.

Directions for use: Adults: Take one capsule with each meal or two capsules if the meal is particularly high in protein and/or fat. Lifestream Advanced Digestive Enzymes provides good levels of a broad combination of digestive enzymes necessary to assist digestive processes throughout the digestive tract. It contains a proprietary blend of plant and microbial derived enzymes specifically designed to aid the digestion of nutrient dense meals.

This formula is designed specifically to support digestion for people who eat the typical modern diet, which is high in protein, fat, refined carbohydrates and newly raw food. It contains a proprietary blend of enzymes specifically designed to aid the digestion of these heavier meals.  It does not contain HCL from ox bile which is common in some digestive enzymes making it a vegetarian/vegan friendly option.

Raw foods such as fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of enzymes, but these enzymes are destroyed when the food is processed, canned, or cooked. The modern diet consists of predominantly enzyme deficient cooked foods. Supplementation with enzymes helps to replace those lost in cooking, helps us access the nutrients from our food and enhances the enzymes found in raw foods.

Lifestream Advanced Digestive Enzymes contains a blend of proteolytic, lipolytic and carbohydrolytic enzymes to assist the digestion of protein, fat and carbohydrates.

Protease 4.5 is a mixture of proteases that work synergistically with endogenous enzymes to provide protein digestion in the stomach and small intestine.
Papain and Bromelain – assist protein digestion to provide amino acids which are used to build muscles, metabolic enzymes, neurotransmitters and many other essential biochemicals.
Lipase has broad substrate specificity on the fats and oils of vegetable and animal origins. Product code: 9403067126705 Cautions
It is best to separate the medications and the enzyme supplement by more than 2 hours.
All protein digesting enzymes can irritate existing ulcers and should be avoided by those with stomach or intestinal ulcers.
As a general precaution, if you are pregnant or nursing, consult with a health professional before use.
Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional. Ingredients
