Digestive Enzymes--Do we need them?

Digestive enzymes help your body to breakdown foods.

Amylases: breakdown carbohydrates, sugars and starches
Lipases: help to breakdown fats
Proteases: help to breakdown protein
Sucrases: sucrose
Lactases: lactose in dairy
DPP IV-gluten and dairy

*Pancreas---produces and releases amylase, lipase and protease into the small intestine
**Digestive enzymes can be reabsorbed and recycled by the pancreas
*Mouth produces amylase and lipase
*Stomach: protease

Thought and smell of food starts the process of digestion by releasing of amylase and lipase in the saliva, increase pepsin and hydrochloric acid for assistance of protein digestion in the stomach and the pancreas release of amylase, lipase and protease.

Animal based: porcine and bovine
Digestive enzymes plant based: Papaya and pineapples contain a natural enzyme called Papain and Bromelain, respectively.--helps breakdown protein

Foods with enzymes
Kiwis-actinidin for protein breakdown
Mangos-amylases
Bananas-amylases and glucosidase
Raw honey--diastase, amylase, invertase and protease
Avocado-lipase
Sauerkraut/kimchi-fermented food contain probiotics and digestive enzymes
Miso--lactases, lipases, proteases and amylases
Ginger--digestive enzyme zingibain, which is a protease
Kefir-fermented milk-breakdown lactose

Gallstones, cystic fibrosis, autoimmune conditions, pancreatitis, smoking, alcohol, stress, antacid overuse.

Signs of enzyme deficiency: constipation, diarrhea, cramps, dyspepsia, gas and bloating, weight gain and weight loss

Synergistic effects of enzymes

Other considerations: betaine HCL, pepsin, ox bile, ginger peppermint, dandelion root cofactors: B-vitamins, minerals
**Lemon juice, papaya seeds, chewing ginger, pineapple, celery juice
**Need correct pH in the stomach to trigger enzymes. Temperature triggers enzymes and some enzymes are more tolerant to heat.
