What is the difference between pancreatic enzymes, animal based enzymes and non-animal enzymes?
Total-Zymes does NOT contain any animal based enzymes and here is why! Supplemental pancreatic, plant, and microbial enzymes are all designed to enhance digestion. However, plant and microbial enzymes use a “proactive” approach and begin working on foods sooner after ingestion. Pancreatic enzymes do not go to work right away. Pancreatic enzymes usually begin working approximately 30 minutes after food reaches the stomach. Because of their stability in the acidic environment of the upper stomach, plant and microbial enzymes can begin their digestive action immediately after the food reaches this region. With the increased exposure to digestive enzyme activity, food has a better chance of being broken down into small, more readily absorbed particles. Non animal sourced enzymes Derived from plants or selected microorganisms by the process of natural fermentation Active in a broad pH range (approximately 3.0 – 0.0) Activated in upper stomach and continues working through the entire digesti
