Elles permettent aux réactions chimiques de se dérouler à la vitesse et à la température du corps humain, sans être consommées dans le processus. L'organisme fabrique lui-même des milliers d'enzymes différentes, dans la bouche, l'estomac, le pancréas et l'intestin grêle, et chacune agit sur un type de molécule bien précis. Les enzymes digestives découpent les grosses molécules de l'alimentation en éléments plus petits que l'intestin peut ensuite absorber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChez LUTO Supplements, vous trouverez des compléments d'enzymes sous forme de gélules, de comprimés et de complexes combinés, avec des enzymes comme la lactase, la bromélaïne, la papaïne et la nattokinase. Notre sélection réunit des marques telles que Swanson, Vit4ever, German Elite Nutrition et LUTO Supplements, avec des unités d'activité indiquées sur chaque étiquette.

Cette spécificité explique pourquoi une enzyme qui découpe les protéines n'agit pas sur les sucres. L'activité enzymatique dépend fortement de la température et du pH du milieu. Certaines enzymes digestives travaillent dans l'environnement acide de l'estomac, d'autres dans le milieu plus neutre de l'intestin grêle. C'est aussi la raison pour laquelle certains compléments utilisent des gélules à libération prolongée ou gastro-résistantes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLes grandes familles d'enzymes digestives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn distingue trois familles principales selon le type de nutriment concerné. Les protéases, comme la bromélaïne, la papaïne et la pancréatine, agissent sur les protéines. Les amylases agissent sur l'amidon et les glucides complexes. Les lipases agissent sur les graisses. À côté de ces trois familles, il existe des enzymes plus spécialisées, comme la lactase pour le lactose, l'alpha-galactosidase pour certains sucres des légumineuses et la cellulase pour les fibres végétales. Les complexes digestifs réunissent plusieurs de ces enzymes dans un même produit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLa lactase et la digestion du lactose\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa lactase est l'enzyme qui découpe le lactose, le sucre du lait, en glucose et en galactose. La lactase améliore la digestion du lactose chez les personnes qui ont du mal à digérer le lactose. Pour que cet effet soit obtenu, l'enzyme doit être prise avec chaque repas contenant du lactose. Les personnes atteintes de galactosémie ne doivent pas consommer de lactose ni de produits contenant du lactose. Dans notre assortiment, vous trouverez la Lactase 22.000 FCC de LUTO Supplements et la Lactase 13.000 Depot de Vit4ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLa bromélaïne, une enzyme issue de l'ananas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa bromélaïne est un groupe d'enzymes protéolytiques extraites de la tige et du fruit de l'ananas. Son activité est exprimée en unités F.I.P. ou en unités GDU, et non en milligrammes seuls, car deux produits dosés de la même façon peuvent avoir une activité très différente. La Bromélaïne 750 mg de LUTO Supplements affiche 4500 F.I.P. et se présente en gélules à libération prolongée, tandis que la version de Vit4ever affiche 2000 F.I.P.

Comme la bromélaïne, elle appartient à la famille des protéases végétales et son activité s'exprime en unités plutôt qu'en poids. Vous trouverez la Papaïne 100 mg de Swanson en gélules et l'Enzyme de papaye de Vit4ever en flacon de 180 gélules. Ces produits sont souvent choisis par les personnes qui préfèrent des enzymes d'origine végétale plutôt que d'origine animale.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLa nattokinase, issue du natto japonais\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLa nattokinase est une enzyme obtenue par fermentation du soja avec la bactérie Bacillus subtilis natto, un procédé traditionnel japonais qui donne le natto. Son activité s'exprime en unités fibrinolytiques, ou FU, généralement rapportées au gramme. La Nattokinase 100 mg de LUTO Supplements affiche 20 000 FU par gramme et se présente en flacon de 365 gélules, soit une année complète.

Les Enzymes digestives Digestive Essentials de Swanson combinent ainsi plusieurs enzymes en flacon de 180 comprimés. Le Complexe Enzymatique de German Elite Nutrition associe le mélange breveté DigeZyme, des ferments et des extraits de plantes dans une formule à 120 gélules. Ce type de produit convient si vous préférez un seul complément plutôt que plusieurs enzymes séparées.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComment lire les unités d'activité sur l'étiquette\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eContrairement aux vitamines et aux minéraux, les enzymes ne se comparent pas en milligrammes. Ce qui compte est l'activité, c'est-à-dire la quantité de substrat que l'enzyme peut transformer dans un temps donné. Chaque enzyme possède sa propre unité. La lactase s'exprime en FCC, la bromélaïne en F.I.P. ou GDU, la nattokinase en FU. Deux produits contenant 500 mg de bromélaïne peuvent donc présenter une activité du simple au double. Regardez toujours l'unité indiquée par dose journalière avant de comparer deux références.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuand et comment prendre des enzymes ?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes enzymes digestives se prennent en général juste avant ou pendant le repas, afin qu'elles se trouvent au bon endroit au moment où les aliments arrivent. La lactase se prend avec chaque repas contenant du lactose. Les enzymes protéolytiques comme la bromélaïne et la papaïne sont parfois prises en dehors des repas, selon l'usage souhaité. Respectez toujours la dose recommandée sur l'étiquette.

In addition to the quantity, the label also specifies the enzymatic activity: 2000 F.I.P. This figure indicates the enzyme's activity, independently of the milligram weight. The 120 capsules per package are sufficient for four months, at one capsule per day, avoiding constant reordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Bromelain Really Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBromelain is not a single substance but a collective name for a group of enzymes naturally present in the pineapple plant. It is primarily found in the stem and, to a lesser extent, in the fruit itself. Enzymes are proteins that accelerate chemical reactions without changing themselves. In the case of bromelain, these are enzymes capable of breaking down other proteins into smaller fragments, a process called proteolysis in biochemistry. Manufacturers extract bromelain by pressing the extract from the pineapple plant, then purifying and concentrating it into a fine powder suitable for a capsule. The stem generally contains more bromelain than the fruit pulp, which is why supplements are often derived from this part of the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the F.I.P. value is indicated alongside the weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference lies in what each figure precisely measures. 750 mg indicates the weight of bromelain contained in the capsule. 2000 F.I.P. indicates something else: the potency with which the enzyme acts per unit of weight. F.I.P. stands for Fédération Internationale Pharmaceutique, the organization that established this measurement method as an international standard. Two bromelain extracts with exactly the same weight can indeed have very different enzymatic activities, depending on the degree of purity, the extraction method, and the part of the plant from which the extract originated. By indicating both values together on the label, Vit4ever provides a more complete picture than just the weight in milligrams. This way, you know not only how much bromelain you are consuming, but also how active that quantity actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom Pineapple Stem to Capsule Form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEating fresh pineapple does provide bromelain, but in very variable quantities: the content depends on the fruit's ripeness, variety, and the part of the fruit consumed. Moreover, the fruit itself provides a significant amount of sugar, which not everyone wants to consume daily. This is where the capsule form comes in. The concentrated extract is incorporated into a capsule shell made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and gellan, two plant-based raw materials that make the capsule solid and easily soluble without using animal gelatin. This way, you get a fixed dose of bromelain without the sugar or bulk of fresh fruit, and without having to determine which part of a pineapple contains the most bromelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor bromelain, no EU-approved health claims are currently available for free use. This page therefore deliberately limits itself to the product's composition, dosage, and use, without making any claims about a potential effect on the body. This is a regulatory choice that does not prejudge the quality of the extract itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage with a Meal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit4ever recommends taking 1 capsule daily with a meal, with sufficient liquid. What many people don't realize: enzymes like bromelain are often taken around mealtime simply because that's when you already have water or another drink at hand. The recommended dose has deliberately been set at a maximum of 1 capsule per day, and it is advisable to stick to it rather than increasing it yourself. People taking anticoagulants or who have scheduled surgery should discuss this with a doctor beforehand, simply because enzymes like bromelain can influence bodily processes that certain medications also act upon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 120 capsules per package and a single daily dose, you can use this bromelain supplement for four consecutive months without needing to reorder in between. This is a comfortable supply for anyone looking for a fixed and reproducible amount of bromelain with clearly indicated enzymatic activity on the label, without the hassle of buying, peeling, and preparing fresh pineapples. For those who prefer to work with a precise figure rather than an estimate based on a piece of fruit, this is a practical difference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49373292724452,"sku":"vit4-203","price":24.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/vit4ever_bromelain_intenso_120_caps.jpg?v=1783685186"},{"product_id":"gen-complexe-enzymatique-digezyme-probiotiques-120-gelules","title":"Enzyme Complex (DigeZyme®, Probiotics \u0026 Plant Extracts) | 120 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGerman Elite Nutrition Enzyme Complex\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is largely composed of \u003cstrong\u003edigestive enzymes\u003c\/strong\u003e, supplemented with plant extracts and a probiotic bacterial culture. German Elite Nutrition combines the patented DigeZyme enzyme complex with bromelain, papain, and pepsin, as well as ginger, fennel, and the bacterial strain Weizmannia coagulans. You take three capsules daily, spread across your meals, and one container holds 120 capsules, enough for forty daily doses. Below, you will find factual information about these ingredients and how enzymes work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Digestive Enzymes Are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnzymes are proteins that trigger a chemical reaction. Digestive enzymes do this with your food: they break down large nutrients into smaller pieces. Each enzyme has its own task. Amylase acts on carbohydrates, protease on proteins, and lipase on fats. Cellulase breaks down plant fibers, and lactase breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. Important to know: enzymes themselves are not absorbed as whole proteins; they do their work in the digestive tract and are then broken down like other foods. This is why the quantity and activity of enzymes matter, not just the number of milligrams. Your body produces these enzymes itself, particularly in the pancreas and small intestine. An enzyme product provides supplemental enzymes, with a predefined quantity and activity. The exact way these enzymes work is pure biochemistry: each enzyme fits like a key into a given lock and accelerates a reaction there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigeZyme, the Standardized Enzyme Complex\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basis of this formula is DigeZyme, a patented complex of five enzymes: alpha-amylase, a neutral protease, cellulase, lactase (also called beta-D-galactosidase), and lipase. Each daily dose contains 800 mg of DigeZyme. The special feature of a standardized branded ingredient is that the activity of each enzyme is defined in units, such as DU for amylase or FIP for lipase. These units say more than weight alone, as they indicate how active an enzyme is. In a generic enzyme blend, this information is often missing. Since DigeZyme works with fixed activity values, you know what to expect from each capsule. DigeZyme was developed by raw material manufacturer Sabinsa and is widely used in enzyme supplements. The five enzymes together cover the main nutrient groups, from carbohydrates and proteins to fats, fibers, and lactose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplementary Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to DigeZyme, each daily dose also contains several other substances. Bromelain (100 mg) from pineapple and papain (100 mg) from papaya are proteolytic enzymes, as is 75 mg of pepsin. There are also 300 mg of ginger extract and 300 mg of fennel seed extract, two plant extracts traditionally associated with food and herbal teas. Ginger and fennel are traditionally used after meals, for example in tea or as a spice, but we cannot make any claims about their effects. Finally, Weizmannia coagulans has been added, a probiotic bacterial strain previously known as Bacillus coagulans. This strain is spore-forming, meaning it has a protective layer around it. This makes it more resistant to stomach acid and heat than many other bacteria, so viable cells can reach the intestine. Each daily dose provides 3 billion colony-forming units. The combination of these additional enzymes, two plant extracts, and the probiotic makes this product broader in composition than a simple enzyme blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and Activity in Units\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll ingredients are plant-based and integrated into a vegan capsule, without artificial colors, flavors, or fragrances. What distinguishes this product from many simple enzyme products is its transparency: the label not only indicates the number of milligrams but also the enzymatic activity in units. For digestive enzymes, this is the figure that truly matters, as two products containing the same number of milligrams can differ significantly in activity. Store the capsules in a dry place and not too warm, as enzymes and probiotics are sensitive to humidity and heat. This best preserves their activity throughout their shelf life. A well-sealed container in a dry place is therefore more than a detail for this type of product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is a comprehensive enzyme product, with a standardized core, supplemented with additional enzymes, two plant extracts, and a heat-stable probiotic.

The stem of the plant is the richest source, and this is where it is extracted for supplements. Fresh pineapple also contains it, but at a much lower concentration than a capsule. You would have to eat a lot to approach the dose of a supplement. After extraction, a concentrated and standardized powder remains, which is then packaged into capsules.

Mechanically, it is a cysteine protease: at the heart of the enzyme is a sulfur-containing amino acid that acts like a pair of scissors. It recognizes a protein chain and breaks the peptide bonds, which connect the amino acids. In simple terms: it breaks down large proteins into smaller fragments. The speed of this process depends on acidity and temperature. As for what this means for you, we deliberately make no claims, as there are currently no authorized claims for bromelain in the EU database.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 4500 F.I.P. means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strength of bromelain is not determined by the number of milligrams, but by its enzymatic activity. This is expressed in F.I.P. units or GDU. Both measure the amount of protein the enzyme can cleave per unit of time, but using a different test method. This product displays 4500 F.I.P. per capsule, which corresponds to approximately 2500 GDU per gram. This places it above entry-level products around 2000 F.I.P. and below the extra-strong variants of 7500 F.I.P. Please note: F.I.P. and GDU are not exactly interconvertible, so consider such a comparison as an approximation. However, this is the figure to watch when comparing products, as two capsules containing the same number of milligrams can differ greatly in activity. We therefore always state it in full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a sustained-release capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBromelain is a protein, and proteins have a hard time in the acidic environment of the stomach. That's why this bromelain comes in a sustained-release capsule: it doesn't release its contents all at once, but gradually. This way, the enzyme reaches further into your system more protected and more regularly, and only one capsule per day is needed. The capsule itself is plant-based and acid-resistant. Many competitors are vague about how their capsules work; here, you know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBromelain from pineapple is one of those ingredients where the units on the label say more than the milligrams.

Your body cannot absorb it as is. Lactase must first break the bond between glucose and galactose. Only then do your intestinal cells absorb these two separate sugars. In people with reduced lactase production, unseparated lactose reaches the large intestine. Intestinal bacteria then process it, causing gas and water retention. A lactase enzyme supplement works at the source: it breaks down lactose in the small intestine before it reaches the large intestine. Lactase improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat FCC Units Mean for Lactase\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn lactase supplements, you always see a number followed by \"FCC\". FCC stands for Food Chemical Codex, a measurement method that indicates the amount of enzyme activity in a tablet. The higher the FCC number, the more lactose the enzyme can break down. This product provides 20,000 FCC per tablet. That's considerable. Many basic products range from 5,000 to 10,000 FCC. With 20,000 FCC, you have plenty of leeway, even for a meal containing a bit more dairy. However, it's good to know that the effect always depends on the amount of lactose you consume and the sensitivity of your intestines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTiming Makes the Difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLactase only works if it is present in your stomach at the right time. If you take the tablet too early, the enzyme is already partially degraded before the lactose arrives. If you take it too late, the lactose has already passed your small intestine. In short: the ideal time is just before the first bite or sip of a dairy product. The tablet contains SEPISMART™ SR Granular, a release system that releases the enzyme gradually. This is convenient during a prolonged meal, as lactase then remains available longer in your digestive tract. The composition has otherwise remained simple: lactase powder, a vegetable excipient, and this release system.

Nattokinase indeed forms spontaneously when soybeans ferment with the bacterium Bacillus subtilis var. natto, exactly as in the traditional Japanese dish natto. After fermentation, the enzyme is extracted from the beans and purified into a powder. No chemical synthesis is involved. The soybeans used are also declared non-GMO, so genetically modified soy is excluded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy FUs tell more than milligrams\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most supplements, the number of milligrams is sufficient. For an enzyme, this is different. The activity of nattokinase is expressed in FUs (fibrinolytic units), a measure of the enzyme's activity. This product is standardized to 20,000 FU per gram, so 100 mg of powder in a capsule corresponds to 2000 FU. Two jars containing the same number of milligrams can therefore differ greatly in activity. So, those comparing nattokinase capsules look at the FU value, the source, and the purity, not just the weight. This FU activity is measured by a laboratory by placing the enzyme on a thin layer of fibrin and observing the size of the clear area that forms. The larger this area, the higher the FU value. And this is precisely the number that many online stores omit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA brief composition and the question of soy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredient list is as short as possible: nattokinase, rice flour as a filler, and an HPMC capsule (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material). No colorants, odors, or flavors, and no magnesium stearate. A question that often comes up is about soy. The enzyme is extracted from soy, so soy is listed as an allergen on the label. If you are allergic to soy, do not use this product without first consulting your doctor. For those who eat plant-based, the capsule is perfectly suitable, as no animal materials are involved. And with 365 capsules in one jar, you order once and are set for a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a simple enzyme from natto: 2000 FU per vegetable capsule, standardized to 20,000 FU\/g, in a jar that lasts a year. No frills, just nattokinase with a clear FU value and transparent origin from fermented soy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LUTO Supplements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49390700626148,"sku":"8721055250845","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/nattokinase_54ac71d2-af7b-4133-b66c-70600897cedc.jpg?v=1783929345"},{"product_id":"vit4ever-lactase-13000-depot-vit4ever","title":"Lactase 13,000 Depot | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLactase 13,000 Depot by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilk in your coffee, a dessert after a meal, or simply a piece of cheese.

Your body normally breaks down this sugar with the help of its own enzyme: lactase. If your gut produces too little of it, the lactose remains undigested. This is where a lactase supplement comes in. The lactase enzyme improves lactose digestion in people who have difficulty digesting lactose. You take it when you eat or drink dairy products, so that the enzyme and lactose arrive in your intestines together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e13,000 FCC, what does this number mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFCC refers to the amount of active enzyme per tablet. The higher the number, the more lactose a tablet can process. A 13,000 FCC tablet breaks down approximately 21 grams of lactose. In the Netherlands, most lactase tablets range between 3,000 and 4,500 FCC. These lactase tablets are therefore in the upper segment. Convenient if you have a larger meal rich in dairy products in front of you and don't want to swallow several tablets each time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe depot effect with Sepismart Slow Release\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder why this tablet is called a depot. The difference lies in the release. Thanks to the Sepismart branded raw material and slow-release technology, the lactase enzyme is not released all at once, but gradually. This way, it remains active for up to 6 hours in your digestion. In short: you are covered longer during and after a meal. This makes this depot variant a little more pleasant than a lactase tablet that does its job immediately and is then used up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall tablet, few excipients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tablets are only 8 mm and easy to swallow.

Also lactose-free and gluten-free, which makes sense for a product that is used precisely for lactose intolerance. Made in Germany and Europe, packaged according to HACCP, GMP, and ISO 22000:2018 standards. And since it contains few excipients, the tablet remains compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you choose the small jar of 120 or the annual supply of 365 tablets, you always get the same 13,000 FCC per tablet.

Vit4ever's \u003cstrong\u003ePapaya Enzyme\u003c\/strong\u003e provides this enzyme in concentrated form: 2100 mg of papain per daily dose of three capsules, with an enzymatic activity of 12,600,000 U. The enzyme is sourced from the papaya fruit (Carica papaya). For those who prefer swallowing a vegetarian capsule rather than the frequently encountered chewable tablets, this is a straightforward choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Papain Is and How It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePapain belongs to the proteases, a group of enzymes that break down proteins. In short: it is a protein-cleaving enzyme. At the molecular level, it breaks the bonds between the components of a protein chain, known as peptide bonds. As a result, large protein molecules break down into smaller pieces: peptides and isolated amino acids. This is precisely why papain has been used for over a century in the food industry to tenderize meat. The substance itself is naturally present in the latex of unripe papaya fruit. Vit4ever extracts papain through a gentle aqueous extraction, filters it multiple times, and then spray-dries it. This process preserves enzymatic activity as much as possible during production. Papain is also often mentioned alongside bromelain, the enzyme found in pineapple. Both are protein-cleaving enzymes from fruits, and both have been used for decades in the food industry, notably as meat tenderizers and as aids in beer clarification. The main difference lies in the source: papain comes, as its name suggests, exclusively from papaya, while bromelain is extracted specifically from the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Does 12,600,000 U of Enzymatic Activity Mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor enzymes, the number of milligrams doesn't tell the whole story. What matters is how active the enzyme still is. For this, there is a distinct measure: enzymatic activity, expressed in units (U). One unit represents a fixed amount of work that the enzyme performs under standard conditions. Papaya Enzyme achieves 12,600,000 U per daily dose of three capsules. Many people wonder why these two figures, milligrams and units, are presented side-by-side. The answer lies in the difference: milligrams tell you how much papain is present, while units tell you how active that papain is. Two products with the same milligram quantity can therefore have very different activity levels. This is why the activity is listed separately on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the Capsules are Enteric-Coated\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnzymes are sensitive to acid. In a regular capsule, papain would come into contact with gastric acid in the stomach. Vit4ever therefore uses an enteric-coated capsule shell made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, a plant-based material. This shell remains intact in the acidic environment of the stomach and only dissolves further down, in the intestine. This way, the enzyme is released more precisely at a location where conditions are less acidic. This is a small technical detail with a clear purpose: the papain reaches the intestine instead of being altered on the way. The capsule itself is vegetarian and thus suitable for a vegan diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure Composition Without Fillers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to papain, each capsule contains only rice flour as a bulking agent and the vegetarian capsule shell. No sugar, no artificial flavors, no colorings, and no preservatives. Vit4ever also deliberately omits gelatin, lactose, gluten, titanium dioxide, and nanoparticles. The powder is packaged in Germany according to HACCP, GMP, and ISO 22000:2018 standards. Those who compare papaya enzyme labels side-by-side will notice that many products are chewable tablets with sweeteners. This product keeps the ingredient list short, so you know exactly what you are consuming. The papaya tree originally grows in Central America but is now cultivated worldwide in tropical climates, with large production areas notably in Southeast Asia. For this type of enzyme preparation, the latex is generally processed within hours of incising the unripe fruit, as enzymatic activity otherwise decreases over time. This explains why the quality and freshness of the raw material are so crucial for the final result, and why each production batch must achieve the same enzymatic activity before leaving the factory. Without this control, one jar could potentially act very differently from the next, and that is precisely the purpose of a standardized preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 180 capsules, you have a supply for 60 days at three capsules per day.

Votre propre corps produit aussi ces enzymes, notamment dans le pancréas. Dans ce produit, elles proviennent de sources microbiennes et de plantes, comme la papaïne issue de la papaye et la broméline issue de l'ananas.

La racine de gingembre et la graine de fenouil sont traditionnellement utilisées après le repas. Le poivre de Cayenne apporte à la formule un peu de piquant, au sens propre, et la racine de réglisse y figure sous forme d'extrait déglycyrrhiziné (DGL). La glycyrrhizine en a été retirée, la substance de la réglisse qui peut influencer la tension artérielle. Une petite quantité d'ail désodorisé et d'aloe ferox fait également partie du mélange.
