Nutra Biogenesis PanZyme

PanZyme by BioGenesis is a digestive enzymes supplement that provides natural digestive support from pancreatic enzymes and HCl.*

• Provides a powerful combination of vitamin B6, betaine HCl, and pancreatin 4x
• Supports digestive processes in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract
• Supports digestion of macro and micronutrients

PANZYME is a complete nutritional product designed to support optimal digestive health. Gastrointestinal function is essential for overall well-being. The ingredients in PanZyme support specific pathways in the stomach and intestinal tract for more complete digestive support.

VITAMIN B6 (PYRIDOXINE) plays numerous roles in the body, including supporting neurotransmitter synthesis, protein metabolism, and modulating homocysteine levels. Vitamin B6 is also needed for the production of hydrochloric acid, an essential component of proper digestive health.

BETAINE HCL/GLUTAMIC HCL are two forms of hydrochloric acid. HCl is naturally secreted by gastric parietal cells and although it does not digest food, it is essential for creating the right environment for supporting digestive processes.

HCl activates pepsin, the enzyme that assists in the denaturing of dietary proteins and also protects the body from microorganisms. Glutamic HCl has been reported to be gentler on the stomach than other forms of supplemental HCl. Betaine, or trimethylglycine, acts not only as a carrier for hydrochloric acid, but also as a methyl donor for important liver detoxification pathways. HCl secretion naturally decreases with age, predisposing patients to poor digestion, intestinal microbial overgrowth, and other uncomfortable systemic symptoms.

PEPSIN is a protein-digesting enzyme in the stomach. It is responsible for the hydrolysis of proteins into peptides. The HCl in PanZyme acts to enhance the conversion of endogenous inactive pepsinogen to active pepsin.

PANCREATIN is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine pancreas. The pancreas is a large gland located behind the stomach that secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine, facilitating the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
