 Comprehensive Digestive Enzyme Support
Ultrazyme is Douglas Laboratories’ natural dietary
supplement specifically formulated with bile and
active digestive enzymes that act synergistically to
assist in the healthy functioning of fat, protein, and
carbohydrate digestion.
FUNCTIONS
The pancreas supplies the major digestive enzymes
that catalyze the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates
and protein, so that the breakdown products can be
absorbed in the upper small intestine. Although fat
digestion starts in the mouth with salivary lipase,
most triglycerides are digested by pancreatic lipase,
which is secreted by the exocrine pancreas into the
duodenum of the intestine. Pancreatic lipase cleaves
triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids,
which are efficiently absorbed in the upper small
intestine.
Some carbohydrate digestion takes place in the
mouth by salivary amylase, but pancreatic amylase is
the major carbohydrate-digesting enzyme. It breaks
down starches into maltose and maltotriose, which
are further hydrolyzed into glucose by the
disaccharidases of the mucosal cells, and then
absorbed.
Protein digestion is initiated in the stomach by pepsin
and hydrochloric acid, which denature and divide
large proteins into smaller polypeptides. The
pancreatic proteinases, trypsin and chymotrypsin,
break down these polypeptides into free amino acids,
and di- or tri-peptides, which are directly absorbed by
the intestinal mucosa.
Ultrazyme provides high levels of catalytically
active pancreatic enzymes that are specific for fats,
carbohydrates and proteins.
Bromelain acts to help prevent allergens from
crossing the gastrointestinal tract, and assists in the
breakdown of large macromolecular protein
complexes. This reduces the chance that these
complexes will leave the stomach untouched or in
large fractions retaining their recognizable antigenic
form that could pass through gastric or intestinal
lesions thereby inducing an allergenic response.

adjunct for individuals who wish to supplement their
diets with digestive enzymes.
