Al- peptidases are enzymes

[Guest guest]

its not uncommon to have GI upset and heartburn etc from digestive

enzymes.

The proteases, like serrapeptidase ( peptide enzyme) and the main

ingred of Wobenzyme ( 2 pancreatic serine peptidases) are simply

PROTEIN digestors. Peptide = building blocks of proteins, and 'ASE'

= enzyme and defined as " helps break bonds of " . hence peptidase =

helps breakdown of peptides by breaking chemical bonds.

Where these substances can go in body and which proteins they

contact will determine what if any action theyll have.Trypsin for

example is quite restrictive as to which bonds it will break.

Many find that if their meal has insufficient proteins (meat or

vegetable proteins ) or if enzymes are taken too long from a full

stomach, it will cause upset of various types.

Weak mucosa or other stomach problems may mean that the enzymes will

attack protein of the stomach lining itself. Hence its not

recommended if you have ulcer or history of ulcer without strict ok

from Dr.

While these all help if you have digestive and/or absorption

problems, there has been NO studies other than those of the

companies making the enzymes that have shown unequivocable proof

that these enzymes do more or even leave the gut and get to other

targets.

Its a bit of a contradiction, as they say to take with " leaky gut "

to help digestion so large molecules arent leaving the GI, then once

it DOES help why would the enzymes still leave the GI tract??

Some companies at least suggest that the main anti-inflammatory

actions come from lessening the leaky gut/undigested protein

entering the blood and not as a direct anti-inflammatory. At least

THIS makes more sense.

Either way, enzymes arent always easily tolerated and should (unless

told otherwise by a very knowledgeable source) be taken with enough

protein or whatever substance its meant to act on ( i.e. lipase for

fats, amylase for starch and carbs etc)

Some may be coated so they dont dissolve until reaching a certain

part of the GI, and this may decrease stomach pain etc.But often the

whole point is to begin action in stomach where normally digestion

starts.
