Lecithin is a natural emulsifier found in many foods. It is often found in foods such as mayonnaise (a mixture of fat and water-soluble substances) where eggs which contain lecithin act as an emulsifying agent to keep them mixed together rather than separated such as what happens in a mixture of oil and vinegar due to a lack of an emulsifier like lecithin. Our lecithin is derived from soybeans. Lecithin from soy is an excellent source of phospholipids. These compounds play important structural and functional roles in the cell, particularly the cell membrane. About 60% of the dry weight of the brain is composed of phospholipids, hence their importance in brain structure and function. As part of the structure of brain cell membranes, phospholipids help support neurotransmitter and hormone function, as they provide the environment that cells need for cell to cell communication and overall cell function. Phosphatidylcholine is a good source of choline, which is needed to support neurotransmitter production, essential for the normal, healthy functioning of the nervous system. Lecithin has also been studied for its role in helping to support healthy cholesterol metabolism, fat digestion, and metabolism, thereby providing support for healthy cholesterol levels.†



Features
Excellent source of phospholipids and fatty acids.
Rich in phospholipids – particularly phosphatidylcholine.
Granules provide about 7 grams of lecithin with about 2 grams of phosphatidylcholine per serving.
Also available as softgels.


Benefits
Excellent source of phosphatidylcholine (PC), an important phospholipid that is a significant component of the cell membrane particularly that of nerve cells including the brain.
PC is also a source of choline which is used by the body to make the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Lecithin is also a source of other phospholipids including phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Both of these compounds are critical to normal, healthy cell function.†
Phosphatidylcholine provides a source of choline which the body uses to manufacture acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in numerous neurological mechanisms including cell to cell communication, particularly as it relates to learning and short term memory.†
PC levels have been shown to decline with age, therefore supplementation becomes even more important as we age.†
PC has also been shown to help support normal, healthy liver and gall bladder function.†

Incomplete or partial digestion of foods can lead to uncomfortable side effects, and contribute to nutrient deficiencies. Symptoms such as intestinal gas, bloating, cramping, and heartburn are obvious, but poor absorption of nutrients can go unnoticed. Superzymes is a multi-enzyme formula containing both animal and plant-derived enzymes, designed to support normal, healthy digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.†



Features
Contains betaine HCL, a form of hydrochloric acid.
Provides pepsin, bromelain and papain to help support protein digestion.
Ox bile extract helps to emulsify fat, preparing it for digestion.
Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes that help to break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.


Benefits
Betaine HCL is a mild form of hydrochloric acid which helps to support the digestive process, particularly the beginning of protein digestion before food moves on to the intestines.†
Betaine HCL helps eliminate potential pathogens found in foods and beverages.
Aging and medications such as antacids can reduce the production and effectiveness of HCL, which may exacerbate digestive problems and other essential nutrients.
HCL is especially important for the absorption of many nutrients including calcium, folic acid, B12, and iron.
Besides nutrient deficiency, a reduction in HCL can slow down the digestive process, resulting in food remaining in the stomach for a longer period of time, often leading to digestive discomfort.
Pepsin is an enzyme that begins the process of protein digestion in the stomach.
This proteolytic enzyme is designed to function in an environment where there are a low pH and high acid content, such as the stomach.†
Bromelain is derived from pineapple, and is a proteolytic enzyme which helps break down protein.†
Papain is derived from papaya and provides an array of proteolytic enzymes to support protein digestion.
Ox bile extract helps to emulsify fat, which prepares it for digestion by fat-digesting enzymes (lipases).†
Pancreatin contains amylase for carbohydrate digestion, protease for protein digestion, and lipase for fat digestion. The combination of these digestive enzymes in pancreatin has been shown to provide significant support to the digestion and absorption of essential nutrients.

The digestion of food involves a complex system of organs, hormones, and enzymes. Many people have difficulty digesting foods, particularly as they age. The incomplete or partial digestion of foods can lead to uncomfortable side effects. Many of the indications are quite clear; intestinal gas, bloating, cramping, heartburn, and diarrhea. However, some effects are not as clear, such as the poor utilization of food, and even nutrient deficiencies. Ultra Veggie Enzymes is a comprehensive enzyme formula targeting the complete digestion of foods and their components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, starches, fibers, fats, and even hard-to-digest foods such as dairy products, grains, and legumes.†



Features
All 15 enzymes in the formula are derived from non-animal sources.
Formulated with enzymes that are active even in the low pH (acid content) of the stomach.
Three types of protease enzymes are active at pH levels of 6.0, 4.5, and 3.0.
Made from patented and trademarked nzimes™ enzymes, manufactured by National Enzyme Company®.
Vegetarian.


Benefits
Ultra Veggie Enzymes promotes healthy digestion.†
High potency of proteases helps ensure the complete digestion of proteins throughout the digestive tract, which creates greater protein and amino acid bioavailability.†
Many of these enzymes enable a thorough and complete breakdown of a broad array of carbohydrates. This helps the body utilize food, and helps to reduce gas and bloating caused by undigested fibers, starches, and sugars.†
Amylase, malt diastase and glucoamylase aid the digestion of starches such as pasta and potatoes.†
Lactase, invertase, and alpha-galactosidase help to digest table sugar and the sugars in vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.†
Cellulase and CereCalase™ help to break down the cell walls of grains, fruits, and vegetables.†
Lipase enzyme is included to help with the digestion of fats (lipids).†
