When I take enzymes orally, aren’t they destroyed by either my stomach acid or by my own store of stomach and intestinal enzymes?

Some enzymes taken orally, including those made from animal pancreas extracts, become inactive in low pH of stomach acid. Microbial derived enzymes are acid resistant, and can maintain activity at pH as low as 2.0 and as high as 10.0. Microorganisms use their enzymes to break down and digest plant material that they grow upon. Since site of fungal growth in nature can vary, fungi have evolved enzyme systems that allow plant to grow under a variety of conditions, including differences in pH and temperature. Pancreatic enzymes work under a much narrower range of pH in animal, since their environment is more controlled. Manufacturers often enterically coat pancreatic enzymes to provide resistance to acidity. Some of these coatings contain ingredients considered unhealthful.

The producers of Bio88+ (Plus) use only very finest “certified” organic, 100% vegetarian-based components in making of their highly nutritious food product. There are no animal based products associated with Bio 88+ (Plus). Feel free to contact author by email for additional information.

Based upon our final questions above, “aren’t they destroyed by my stomach acid…”, our next article, Part V, will deal with possible downside of enzymes and dietary enzyme supplements.

So verdict is in, after years of scientific research: carbohydrates and fats are good for health, provided that right types of each are consumed. For carbohydrates, right kind is low glycemic kind, which body absorbs gradually. For fats, right is Medium Chain Triglycerides or highly nutritious unsaturated oils such as those derived from hemp seed, flax seed or borage.

Yet knowing truth about carbohydrates and fats is one thing. Eating right forms of each is quite another. And of course, there is protein as well; which is also another essential and sometimes elusive macronutrient. So where is a consumer supposed to find right kind of proteins, right kind of carbohydrates, and right kind of fats?

Thankfully, there is an ideal solution called Isometric® by Protica Research.

Isometric is a single-serving food source that offers most nutritionally-correct proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Just as importantly, based upon renowned Isometric Diet®, these macronutrients are delivered in ideal 33%/33%/33% balance. Isometric delivers 25 grams of low-glycemic carbohydrates, 25 grams of complete protein, and 10 grams of highly nutritious unsaturated fats. Therefore, eaters are confidently ingesting a complete meal with every 300-calorie Isometric serving.

Isometric also provides essential vitamins and minerals, which fortify nutritional value of each serving. Weighing less than three fluid ounces, Isometric is smallest complete meal on market.

Indeed, there are healthy carbohydrates and healthy fats, just as there are healthy proteins. And an even greater reason to celebrate is fact that this awareness is captured by Isometric, a scientifically balanced food that provides a complete meal’s worth of nutrition in less than 3 fluid ounces.
