These include ginger, fennel, cayenne pepper, and licorice, along with enzymes such as protease, amylase, and lipase. Take the tablets just before a meal. One bottle contains 180 tablets. Convenient if you are looking for a formula that combines enzymes and herbs instead of taking them separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat digestive enzymes are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigestive enzymes are proteins that break down large nutrients into smaller pieces. Each enzyme has its own function. Protease works on proteins, amylase on carbohydrates, and lipase on fats. In this product, they come from microbial sources and plants, such as papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple. Together, they form the enzyme blend in each tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe herbs in the formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the enzymes, the formula contains several classic herbs. Ginger root and fennel seeds are well-known culinary herbs. Cayenne pepper adds a little kick to the formula, literally, and licorice root is included as deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), in which glycyrrhizin has been removed. A small amount of odor-free garlic and aloe ferox are also part of the blend. So it is more than just enzymes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEnzymes and herbs together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula combines the enzymes and herbs in a single tablet, so you do not have to take them separately. The digestive enzymes cover the three major groups of nutrients: protein, carbohydrate, and fat. The herbs are well-known culinary herbs. On this page, we describe what is in it and what the enzymes are biochemically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the units on the label mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith enzymes, the number of milligrams does not tell the whole story. What matters is how active an enzyme is. That is why the activity is often measured in separate units: HUT for protease, DU for amylase, and FIP for lipase. These numbers indicate how much an enzyme can convert, not how much it weighs. Two products with the same number of milligrams of protease can therefore differ in activity. In this formula, the enzymes have been selected based on that activity. In addition, the tablet contains plant-based enzymes such as papain and bromelain, which occur naturally in papaya and pineapple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigestive Essentials is a combined formula: digestive enzymes plus a set of well-known herbs, in a tablet you take just before a meal. One bottle of 180 tablets lasts a long time when taken around meals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swanson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46614075507026,"sku":"Swanson-078","price":26.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/digestiveessentials_0c75b998-d7c9-4ab3-9e1e-15b8fc6ab7ff.jpg?v=1702220524","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/swanson-digestive-essentials-180-tabletten","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
