Arthur Andrew - Devigest ADS - 180 capsules (Bundle of 3)

What is Devigest ADS?

Devigest is an advanced digestive support supplement containing a highly potent blend of enzymes, including a unique Dipeptyl Peptidase (DPPIV) enzyme for breaking down digestive irritants, such as gluten and dairy products.

Devigest ADS can help improve digestive health. If you have occasional gas or bloating, or if your stomach makes you feel uneasy or embarrassed, your gut may be lacking in the digestive enzymes it requires to function properly. Devigest can help your gut get the nutrients it needs for a healthier life.

What affects our Digestive Enzymes?

Naturally, our body produces its own digestive enzymes through the pancreas. However, certain factors affect digestive enzyme production, consequently affecting our body's ability to digest and absorb nutrients:

• Diets high in refined carbohydrates and foods or drinks that promote intestinal inflammation, including coffee, alcohol, sugar, highly processed foods
• Too little or too much exercise
• Individual food sensitivities like gluten, dairy, corn, soy etc.
• Chronic GI infection or inflammation
• Repeated antibiotic exposure, which affects gut microbiota, digestive and liver health
• Physical, emotional or psychological stress, which reduces pancreatic digestive enzyme output, as well as affects many other areas of digestive function and health
• Smoking
• Pregnancy, which places extra demands on the body's energy requirements
• Aging, which leads to a decline in pancreatic and digestive function

How does Devigest ADS help the body?

Digestive problems, gas, bloating, incomplete digestion, and abdominal discomfort can play a part in everyday life of many individuals.

It's hard to enjoy a meal with family or friends, knowing you'll probably have to deal with an achy gut later on. But more importantly, proper digestion is a prerequisite for optimal health. Unless your digestive health is in order, no other self-regulating or self-healing systems function correctly. Supplementing with Devigest ADS, a high-quality digestive enzyme may be the answer to your digestion-related concerns.

Adequately digested foods do the following:

• Add nutrients to our bodies
• Provide energy
• Support countless other processes that are vital for proper human function

The Powerful Digestive Enzymes in Devigest

Bromelain

Bromelain is a group of enzymes found in the fruit and stem of the pineapple plant. Bromelain breaks down long-chain polypeptides of proteins ingested, breaking them down into shorter chain peptides, which can then be broken down further by other enzymes.

Protease

A proteolytic enzyme that digests a broad range of proteins. Protease is responsible for digesting the bulk of ingested proteins and is one of the three enzymes found in our body's natural pancreatic juices. Devigest contains a blend of proteases to broaden the pH range of the product. When present in blood serum, protease plays an essential part in supporting circulatory heath.

Dipeptidyl Peptidase

A proteolytic enzyme is responsible for completing the digestion of peptides to essential amino acids. Dipeptidyl Peptidase is primarily responsible for breaking gluten peptides found in food items made from grains such as wheat or rye.

Alpha Galactosidase

Alpha-galactosidase is a primary enzyme used to break down oligosaccharides and polysaccharides in food items such as cruciferous vegetables and legumes. Humans are monogastric, which means they don't produce enough alpha-Galactosidase to fully digest the saccharides. But with Devigest contains alpha-Galactosidase makes these saccharides easily digestible (Source: Science Direct).

Amylase

Devigest contains amylase, a digestive enzyme predominantly secreted by the pancreas and salivary glands and found in other tissues at minimal levels. Amylases' primary function is to break down bonds in starch molecules, converting complex carbohydrates to simple sugars. (Source: NCBI)

Lipase

Lipase is an enzyme that is made by your pancreas. It helps your body digest fats. (Source: URMC)

Glucoamylase

Converts starch into sugar like amylase but is most active in a highly acidic. The inclusion of this component allows for many sugars to be broken down before exiting the stomach.

Lactase

Devigest also contains lactase responsible for the digestion of the milk sugar, "lactose " into glucose and galactose (Source: Science Direct).

Cellulase & Hemicellulase

Devigest helps digest vegetable and fruit fiber through cellulase and hemicellulose to help digest plant fiber. Most animals (including humans) do not produce cellulase naturally. Therefore, they cannot use most of the energy contained in plant material without supplementation of the enzyme (Source: Science Direct).

Xylanase

Xylanase is an enzyme that helps break down polysaccharides and hemicellulose (Source: Science Direct) helps support digestive health in animal studies (Source: Science Direct)

Papain

One of the enzymes in Devigest is Papain. It is a cysteine protease acquired from the latex of the papaya plant (Carica papaya) that help breakdown protein into amino acids (Source: Science Direct)

Potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate

Devigest ADS contains both potassium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate that has been used as an antacid in gastric hyperacidity. Studies show that it can temporarily relieve indigestion and heartburn. (Source: Pubmed & Pubmed)
