Proteases have the role of digesting large protein
chains (called polypeptides) into smaller amino acid chains
and eventually into single amino acids. The protease and
peptidase enzymes have a critical role of breaking down
potentially antigenic constituents of foods as well as reactive
peptides (casomorphin from milk and gluteomorphin/gliadorphin
from wheat) that can trigger a cascade of adverse reactions
in the central nervous system and throughout the body.
Amylases play an important role in breaking
down starches and other carbohydrates into simple sugars
(glucose) for use as an energy source for the body. The
amylase enzymes reduce large carbohydrates (starches and
other polysaccharides) to disaccharides, which include sucrose,
maltose and lactose.
The Lipases digest fats (triglycerides) into free fatty
acids and glycerol. Fats are so difficult to properly digest
however they are sources of important nutrients (Vitamin
A and E as well as omega-3 fatty acids) and thus need to
be adequately digested. With the assistance of lipase enzymes
they can more effectively perform their appropriate functions
and crucial activities.
The Cellulases (which are not generally found in the body's
digestive tract) break down the bonds found in fiber. By
disrupting the structure of the fiber membrane (which is
an integral part and which envelops most of the nutrients
in plants) cellulase increases the nutritional value of
fruits, vegetables and grains. Enough cellulase is used
to release many of the nutrients while still maintaining
enough of the plant fibers to retain the beneficial intestinal
("scrub brush") effect of the fiber.
RECOMMENDED
DOSE
As
a dietary supplement take two (2) capsules at the beginning
of each meal. Start with ¼ to ½ capsule and
gradually increase this does to the amount that provides optimal
digestion of foods. See specific dosing schedule noted below.
The dose can be adjusted according to the specific needs of
the individual. With larger meals additional enzymes may be
utilized and with small meals or snacks smaller doses may
be sufficient to provide adequate digestion of these foods.
Avoid mixing with food or beverages that will be heated above
130° F, as the activity of the enzymes will be adversely
affected.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It
is generally recommended that enzyme supplements be taken
at the beginning or early on in the meal to assure appropriate
digestion. The capsules may be swallowed whole or opened and
mixed with a small amount of food or beverage.
Multi-Enzyme
Formula may be taken in combination with some of the specialty
enzymes (Peptidase Complete™, EnZymAid™ or DPP-IV Forte™)
when there is a need to provide additional protein/peptide
digestion with the consumption of higher quantities of casein,
gluten and soybean.
SUGGESTED DOSING SCHEDULE
The dosing for Multi-Enzyme Formula is based on the amount
of foods ingested and not directly on the size, weight or
age of the individual. Doctor's and enzyme experts use significant
variations in the dosing of enzymes. Kirkman's recommendation
is to start with smaller amounts of enzymes and gradually
increase to the amount that supports digestion. For general
guidelines however a chart is provided as a starting point
when using this enzyme formulation.
