Frequently asked questions
What are plant enzymes?
Plant enzymes are enzymes derived from plant sources, such as papaya and pineapple, that can be used during a meal.
What is Alpha-galactosidase?
Alpha-galactosidase is an enzyme obtained from the fungus Aspergillus niger. It helps break down certain carbohydrates, such as those found in beans and legumes.
What do the units FIP, DU, HUT, AG, and CU mean?
These are international standard units that indicate how active an enzyme is, meaning how well it can perform its task. FIP is used for lipase (breakdown of fats), DU for amylase (breakdown of starch), HUT for protease (breakdown of proteins), AG for amyloglucosidase (starch to glucose), and CU for cellulase (fibers).
When is the best time to take Optimal Digestive System?
It is most common to take the capsules just before or during a meal. This way, the enzymes can be present at the same time as the food.
Why were so many different enzymes chosen for one formula?
The combination of enzymes such as amylase, protease, and lipase ensures that the supplement has a wide range of applications.
