Vital Nutrients Vegan Pancreatic Enzymes

Vital Nutrients Vegan Pancreatic Enzymes provide lactose-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan digestive enzymes. They feature a complete blend of highly-active protease, lipase, and amylase enzymes that work synergistically, over a broad pH range. Their activity begins in the stomach and continues all the way through the small intestine for complete digestive support.

Protease (protein enzymes): A mixture of acidic, neutral, and alkaline proteases with endo-peptidase activity effective within the active pH range (2.75-6.25). Lipase (fat enzymes): Unique lipase with an active pH range (3.0-9.5) much wider than animal pancreatin (7.5-8.5). This lipase has a broad substrate specificity, meaning it can hydrolyze a variety of fats and triglycerides into important free fatty acids required for healthy skin and hair. Amylase (carbohydrate enzymes): With an active pH range (3.0-8.0), helps break down various types of difficult-to-digest starchy foods and other carbohydrates into polysaccharides and simple sugars, like glucose.
