Enzymes for Digestion and Metabolism

Enzymes are essential for numerous processes in the body—especially digestion and metabolism. They help break down food into its individual components so that proteins, fats, and carbohydrates—as well as micronutrients—can be optimally absorbed and utilized. If this process doesn’t run smoothly, it can manifest as, for example, a feeling of fullness, bloating, or an unpleasant heaviness after eating.

Targeted enzyme supplements offer a useful solution here. They provide selected enzymes that have proven effective when taken with meals, such as the enzyme products from TISSO. These contain carefully balanced enzyme combinations for breaking down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (including lactose and dietary fiber) or a proven combination specifically designed to accompany gluten-containing meals. They offer a practical way to consciously support digestion and metabolism and can be easily integrated into daily life.

The Role of Enzymes in the Body

Enzymes are made up of protein building blocks and are found throughout the human body, primarily in the digestive tract, where they break down ingested nutrients into smaller components.

Only then can the body metabolize proteins, fats, and carbohydrates and utilize them for its own needs. The nutrients are thus absorbed and processed further within the cells. This also occurs in the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cells. Approximately 90% of the energy derived from carbohydrates and fats is produced there.

Enzymes for Healthy Digestion

Enzymes are important components of the digestive tract, where ingested food is processed. Proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are broken down into smaller components so the body can absorb them. This process is particularly demanding for the body when eating meals high in protein, fat, or hard-to-digest carbohydrates. Many people therefore intentionally take enzyme supplements around hearty meals to feel lighter and more balanced afterward.

Pro Enzym by TISSO features a unique, innovative composition. The formula contains 17 vegetarian enzymes, including amylase, lactase, lipase, and various proteases. The formula is supplemented by additional enzymes such as bromelain, papain, and cellulase. This combination of enzymes specifically supports the breakdown of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, lactose, and dietary fiber.

Special Enzymes for Gluten-Containing Meals

Gluten-containing foods are a regular part of many people’s diets. At the same time, some people are sensitive to gluten and therefore have digestive issues. Whether at a restaurant or while traveling—unfortunately, exposure to gluten cannot always be avoided. This is where modern food supplements like Pro GlutNzym have proven helpful, as they provide more targeted support for the digestion of certain protein compounds—such as gluten—and thus contribute to greater well-being after meals.

Pro GlutNzym contains the innovative, high-quality branded ingredient IN VIVO BIOTICS™ gluten tolerance, which combines seven specifically selected bacterial strains and their enzymes (lysates) with a Bacillus protease derived from microbial fermentation. Especially for those with sensitive digestion, Pro GlutNzym can be a way to maintain meal flexibility in everyday life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Enzyme supplements containing digestive enzymes are often used when meals are difficult to digest—for example, with high-fat, high-protein, or very heavy meals. They can also be a useful supplement for those with irregular eating habits or for people who are consciously striving for a balanced diet. The goal is to support digestion precisely when it is under greater strain.

The supplement is generally taken with or shortly before a meal. This ensures that the enzymes contained in the supplements are available exactly when food is being processed in the digestive tract. The timing of intake can be flexibly adjusted to fit each meal.

If the body lacks certain digestive enzymes or does not have enough of them, food will likely not be broken down completely. This can manifest as, among other things, a feeling of fullness, bloating, or pressure after eating, since nutrients have not been processed optimally.

For daily use, high-quality combination products such as Pro Enzym are ideal; with 17 enzymes, it contains a very broad spectrum of enzymes. It simultaneously breaks down proteins, fats, carbohydrates, lactose, dietary fiber, and other nutrients, and can be easily incorporated into various meals.

The choice depends primarily on your own eating habits. Those who frequently eat mixed meals are well-served by broad-spectrum enzyme supplements such as Pro Enzym. For specific needs, such as gluten sensitivity, Pro GlutNzym has proven effective; it contains the high-quality ingredient IN VIVO BIOTICSTM gluten tolerance.
