Okra Pepsin E3 and Protein Digestion
Enzymes are necessary for breaking down macronutrients into smaller forms that can be absorbed into the body: an essential part of gastrointestinal (GI) function. The enzyme pepsin is produced in the upper GI tract and acts as a proteolytic enzyme. It breaks down amino acid chains in proteins, even at a low pH.ˆˆ Supplemental pepsin has been used to provide enzymatic support in patients with insufficient enzyme production.ˆˆ
Okra Pepsin E3 Contains Whole Okra Fruit Powder, Alginic Acid, and Chlorophyll
Okra Fruit Powder
Okra fruit contains a fibrous polysaccharide mucilage that has slimy properties and is not broken down by human digestive enzymes. It is a whole food component, making it an important dietary staple in regions where there are harsh climates since the plant can tolerate high heat and low water.ˆˆ
Alginic acid
Alginic acid and alginate derivatives are polysaccharides originating from marine plants (kelp and seaweed) that possess viscosifying, gelling, and stabilizing properties.ˆˆ
Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is a pigment component found in the cell wall of plants that capture light and give them their distinct green color. It is one of the most prevalent phytonutrients consumed in the diet.
