Digestive Enzymes + Probiotic from Osavi
These capsules combine digestive enzymes with a bacterial strain in one daily capsule. You get DigeZyme®, a complex of five enzymes, together with LactoSpore®, a bacterial strain in spore form. Papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple are also added, making a total of seven enzymes. Convenient for those who prefer to take these ingredients in one capsule instead of from separate bottles. With 120 capsules and one per day, one bottle lasts four months.
Which enzymes are in it
Enzymes are proteins that speed up a chemical reaction. They are usually named after the substance they act on: amylase (starch), protease (proteins), lipase (fats), lactase (lactose), and cellulase (plant fibers). This supplement contains the enzymes from DigeZyme®, a standardized complex, supplemented with papain and bromelain from fruit. We make no health claims for these enzymes or for the bacterial strain, so we are only describing what is in it here. In short: a broad set of enzymes in one capsule.
DigeZyme in five enzymes
DigeZyme® provides 150 mg per capsule and combines five enzymes of microbial origin: lactase, alpha-amylase, protease, cellulase, and lipase. The activity of each enzyme is listed on the label, in units such as ALU, DU, PC, CU, and FIP. That sounds technical, but it simply states how active each enzyme is. What many people do not know is that with enzymes, it is not just the weight in milligrams that matters, but precisely that activity. Osavi chooses a branded raw material with fixed specifications, so that the composition remains the same from bottle to bottle. This way, you know exactly what is in your capsule.
LactoSpore in spore form
LactoSpore® contains the bacterial strain Heyndrickxia coagulans MTCC 5856 and provides 2 billion CFU per daily dose. CFU stands for colony-forming units, or the number of viable bacteria. Because the bacteria is in spore form, the product does not require refrigeration. You simply store the bottle in a dry, dark place at a temperature up to 25 degrees. The exact strain is listed with a code on the label, so you can compare products properly.
Enzymes and bacterial strains, what is the difference
Many people confuse enzymes and bacterial strains, even though they are two different things. Enzymes are not living organisms, but proteins that speed up a chemical reaction. A bacterial strain such as Heyndrickxia coagulans, on the other hand, consists of living microorganisms. In this formula, enzymes and a bacterial strain are together in one capsule. Take 1 capsule daily at the beginning of a main meal with a glass of water.
