Enzyme,
Homeostatic Soil Based Probiotic, and Fulvic Ionic Trace Mineral
Blend
Amylase: Amylase,
found in saliva, breaks down carbohydrates. In addition to
the salivary glands, the pancreas also excretes this enzyme.
It is one of the two most effective digestive enzymes that
is secreted in high concentrations by the body. Amylase is
from the class of enzymes that hydrolyze starch. Starch is
found in foods such as pasta, potatoes and rice. Amylase is
commonly found in pineapples, bananas, raisins, potatoes and
squash.
Cellulase: Cellulase
digests fiber. It breaks down cellulose. Plants are a person’s
only source of cellulose as the human body cannot produce
it. Chewing liberates the cellulose out of the food, but when
people eat raw fruits and vegetables and don’t chew
properly, the cellulose is never released. Cellulase may also
be lacking because of the way the food was handled by suppliers.
Some sources of cellulase are oranges, celery, carrots, lettuce,
cabbage and apples.
Protease: Protease
is an extremely important digestive enzyme. It is responsible
for breaking down proteins which is difficult to do. It is
secreted in high concentrations by the body. It is found in
both the stomach and pancreatic juices. Protease is a class
of enzymes that hydrolyzes or breaks down the peptide bonds
that join amino acids together in a protein. It is then that
shorter chain proteins or free form amino acids are made available.
Some vegetarian sources of protein are pea pods, lentils,
alfalfa, and navy beans.
Lactase: Many
people cannot digest more than a small amount of milk or other
dairy products due to a deficiency in lactase. Lactase is
an intestinal enzyme that breaks down lactose, which is milk
sugar, into its two constituent sugars to render it absorbable.
Humans produce peak amounts of lactase in infancy when milk
is necessary for survival. Supplies diminish thereafter.
Lipase: This
lipolytic or fat splitting enzyme is found in the blood, pancreatic
secretions and tissues. Lipase aids in fat digestion, whereas
pancreatic lipase digests fat in a highly alkaline environment,
lipases found in food fats work in a more acidic environment.
Vegetarian sources include avocados, vegetable oil, rice,
bran, wheat germ and olive oil.
Maltase:
Maltase is a digestive enzyme which breaks down malt sugars
(maltose) which are an intermediate product in the digestion
of starch. It may help relieve environmental sensitivities
and allergies.
Bromelain:
Bromelain is considered a proteolytic enzyme. That means it
is good at breaking down difficult proteins. The bromelain
enzyme is a strong anti-inflammatory because it can digest
proteins that are a byproduct of the inflammatory process.
It is used by athletes to prevent post-workout soreness and
is believed to facilitate the healing of sports injuries.
Bromelain is an enzyme that is found in pineapple. The only
other source of bromelain is pineapple juice.
Sucrase: Sucrase
is beneficial in helping prevent gastrointestinal problems
and discomfort. It is an enzyme that breaks down sugars (sucrose)
found in some vegetables and many fruits as well as sugar
derived from sugar cane, sugar beets, sorghum, molasses or
maple sugar.
Homeostatic Soil Based Probiotics:
This formula provides a proprietary, synergistic blend of
Homostatic Soil Based Organisms containing 22 high-potency
probiotic metabolites and live cell probiotic strains. This
form provides a superior blend of beneficial probiotics in
sufficient amounts for optimal results. It supports intestinal
and colon health, is preservative free and non-pasteurized.
It helps maintain and restore beneficial intestinal bacteria
balance which is vital to overall health. Included are
lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus casei, bifidobacteria
bifidum, lactobacillus rhamnosus, lactobacillus sporogenes,
lactobacillus cremoris, lactobacillus delbrueckii, lactobacillus
kefir, lactobacillus lactis, lactobacillus caucasicus, lactobacillus
planterum, lactobacillus salivarius, lactobacillus bulgaricus,
lactobacillus helveticus, lactobacillus paracasei, leuconostoc
cremoris, lactobacillus brevis, lactobacillus, infantis, lactobacillus
lactis, bifidobacterium longum, bifidobacterium breve, streptococcus
thermophilus
Ionic Fulvic Minerals:
Minerals and trace minerals are the most basic of nutrients.
Since they cannot be made in the body, (hence they are called“essential
nutrients”) they must be gotten from our diet or supplementation.
Ionic fulvic minerals are not simply inorganic metallic minerals
but are an association of a wide variety of organic compounds
as methyls, methylenes, aromatic, protonates, heterocyclics,
carbonyls, carboxyls, quinines and ketone-ketene-like carbonyls;
providing over 76 organically complexed trace minerals and
elements in a polyelectrolyte structure. Fulvic acid chelates,
complexes and makes minerals soluble for the highest degree
of assimilation by the body. Organically compounded minerals
are the only way a mineral can be introduced or accepted into
the cell where it is vitally needed to assist in metabolic
activities as cofactors in all enzymatic reactions. Enzymes
all have a mineral component. Inorganic mineral supplements
are not fully chelated into organic compounds and may run
the risk of becoming toxic to the body, getting stuck in extracellular
tissue and in organs making them impossible to be utilized
and difficult to remove from the system.
Other Ingredients:
Fruiterra uses natural mixed berry flavor and stevia as a
sweetener. Stevia is a natural non-caloric, sweetener from
plants. It is a great replacement for sugar and artificial
sweeteners. It inhibits growth and reproduction of some bacteria
and other infectious organisms, including the bacteria that
cause tooth decay and gum disease.
Guar gum - Guar gum is a natural digestive fiber that helps
regulate the absorption of nutrients, including sugar, resulting
in a lower rise in blood sugar levels.
