We've all heard how important digestive health is for overall wellness, and most recently more information has been discovered about how digestion affects immunity, mood and essentially all body systems. Because it's so important, we want to support digestion well and one way to do that daily is with enzyme supplements.

ESSENTIALZYME-4 AT A GLANCE

• Enzyme complex aids in the digestion of dietary fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates
• Utilizes dual targeted-release technology that releases the animal- and plant-based enzymes at separate times within the digestive tract for optimal nutrient absorption
• Formulated with a unique blend of herbal ingredients to help meet your nutritional and wellness goals
• Infused with Ginger, Fennel, Tarragon, and Anise premium essential oils

Enzymes are protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant and animal cells and are critical for our bodies to function. Enzymes allow the body's cells to communicate well with each other, help keep cell growth, life and death under control (this is SO important!), are needed for more than 4,000 biochemical reactions in the body, and are responsible for every chemical reaction in our bodies. Also, enzymes are essential for our cells to build up and break down molecules in our bodies. Enzymes support all systems in the body:

• Digestion – Enzymes break down food so that the body can digest it.
• Metabolism- Enzymes help properly metabolize the food so that the body can use the nutrients from the food.
• Respiration – Enzymes assist in getting oxygen where it is needed.
• Nutrient absorption and transportation – Enzymes help the nutrients get to where they are needed.
• Detoxification – Enzymes keep toxic sludge from building up in the body.
• Muscle movement – Enzymes assist in helping the brain communicate with the muscles.
• Hormone production – Enzymes assist in helping the body produce hormones that in turn keep the body functioning.
• Cell Repair – Enzymes assist in repairing cells which can lead to youthful skin.
• Cell division – Enzymes help keep cell division at a normal, healthy rate.

Essentialzymes-4 aids digestion with dual enzyme capsules infused with Ginger, Fennel, Tarragon, and Anise premium essential oils. Each ingredient is hand chosen for its ability to support digestion. The plant-based enzymes are designed to release immediately upon entering the stomach, where the environment is conducive to the digestion of plant material. The animal-based enzymes are designed to target release in the lower intestine region, where the environment is better suited for the digestion of animal fats and proteins.

Plant-based enzyme capsule key ingredients:

• Amylase: a powerful starch-digesting enzyme that prevents fermentation of starches in the digestive system
• Cellulase: breaks down cellulose
• Protease: protein-digesting enzymes that are stable in the varying pH conditions of the digestive tract
• Lipase: a fat-dissolving enzyme vital for absorption of Vitamins A, D, and E.
• Phytase: an enzyme necessary for breaking down the minerals such as zinc, magnesium and potassium found in grains, nuts, seeds and other foods.
• Bromelain: proteolytic enzyme found in pineapple that supports carbohydrate digestion
• Papain: a vegetable enzyme derived from papaya that supports carbohydrate digestion
• Peptidase: supports the formation and absorption of amino acids
• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): vital for metabolic processes in the body, energy production and cell growth.

• Anise, Ginger, Rosemary, Tarragon and Fennel essential oils: support digestion, ease intestinal discomfort, support the body's response to inflammation and cleansing, support the pancreas and liver

Animal-based enzyme capsule:

• Pancreatin: a natural protein-digesting enzyme complex containing proteases, amylases and lipases
• Bee Pollen Powder: high in protein and contains many minerals and vitamins such as potassium, magnesium, zinc, manganese and B vitamins
• Lipase: a fat-dissolving enzyme vital for absorption of Vitamins A, D, and E.
• Rice Flour (non-GMO): an easier to digest flour necessary for capsule dilution
• Fennel, Lemongrass, Ginger, Tarragon and Anise essential oils: support overall digestion, help decrease flatulence and intestinal discomfort, support and improve liver and pancreatic function.

TO USE Take 2 capsules (1 dual-dose blister pack) 2 times daily with the largest meals of the day (4 capsules total).

What is the difference between Essentialzyme-4 and Essentialzyme: Essentialzyme: a unique blend of enzymes such as pancrelipase and pancreatin that are known to assist the body in breaking down and digesting food, as well as Tarragon, Peppermint, Anise, Fennel, and Clove premium essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity and specifically support healthy pancreatic function. These enzymes are to be taken once a day before your largest meal.

Essentialzyme-4: a set of two dual enzyme capsules infused with Ginger, Fennel, Tarragon, and Anise premium essential oils. The plant-based enzymes are designed to release immediately upon entering the stomach, where the environment is conducive to the digestion of plant material. The animal-based enzymes are designed to target release in the lower intestine region, where the environment is better suited for the digestion of animal fats and proteins. In combination, these two capsules aid in the digestion of dietary fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates for optimal nutrient absorption. These enzymes are to be taken with your two largest meals of the day.
