THER-BIOTIC® SIBB-Zymes™: Support for Complete Digestion
THER-BIOTIC® SIBB-Zymes™ is a specialized formula that supplies a blend of digestive enzymes normally found in the small intestinal brush border. These enzymes are critical for the final, crucial steps of carbohydrate and protein digestion. This supplement is particularly helpful for individuals who, due to genetic or other factors, may have low activity of these brush border enzymes, which can lead to malabsorption and microbial fermentation in the gut.
How It Works: Breaking Down Carbs and Proteins
This formula provides a comprehensive blend of targeted enzymes to ensure that carbohydrates and proteins are broken down into their smallest, most absorbable components.
Carbohydrate & Sugar Digestion
Disaccharide enzymes, including lactase, maltase, and sucrase, are supplied together with glucoamylase. This team of enzymes assists in the optimal cleaving of sugars and complex carbohydrates. If left undigested, these compounds can contribute to a shift in the balance of yeast and bacteria in the gut.
Advanced Protein Digestion with DPP-IV
SIBB-Zymes™ includes an active enzyme blend of peptidase and protease with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity. This complex is highly effective in breaking down plant and animal proteins, including notoriously difficult-to-digest proteins like casein (from dairy), gluten (from grains), and soy.
