The human body is capable of accomplishing incredible feats
and overcoming obstacles, provided that it receives proper, wholesome
nutrition. Consuming enzyme rich foods and/or highly active enzyme
supplements like Ω-Zyme™ are two valuable approaches to ensure your body
gets the enzymes it needs to support healthy digestion - which is essential
to overall health. *
Ω-Zyme provides a broad spectrum approach to enzyme
supplementation. With 20 different digestive enzymes, Ω-Zyme™ provides a
broad array of enzymes to help your body process a wide variety of foods. *
Each of these enzymes has a specific function. For example, the protease
blend aids the digestion and utilization of dietary proteins.* Amylase
digests starch, Lipase digests fats, and Lactase digests the milk sugar
lactose.* Garden of Life understands that having a broad range of enzymes
that support the digestion of a multitude of nutrients in the
gastrointestinal tract is vital to the efficacy of the product.
Additionally, Garden of Life believes that the enzyme viability at different
pH levels is equally important. Ω-Zyme was specifically formulated to
include enzymes that are active across different pH levels.

What are enzymes and why do I need them?
Enzymes are protein-like substances that act as catalysts
for all chemical reactions in the body. Enzymes help maintain the body's
tissues, orchestrate its functions and digest food. There are three kinds of
enzymes:
- Metabolic Enzymes - spark many of the reactions inside
cells, enabling our organs, tissues, and cells to work properly.
- Food Enzymes - supplied by what we eat, they help break
down food before our digestive enzymes are called upon. The majority of
food enzymes are destroyed at temperatures above 118 ºF, so nearly all
cooked and processed foods are devoid of them.
- Indigenous Digestive Enzymes - secreted by the pancreas
into the small intestine, they break down the nutrients in the foods we
eat that have not already been broken down by food enzymes.
Garden of Life believes that enzymes are perhaps our most
important and overlooked dietary component. Before the advent of modern food
processing, we ate a diet that was rich in "live" raw and fermented foods.
These foods contained many of the food enzymes that our diet lacks today.
Food enzymes aid in the digestion of food. Without them, the body is forced
to produce enough digestive enzymes to break down the nutrients in the food
we consume.
A great way to get the enzymes you need is to consume a
diet high in "live" raw and fermented foods, and/or to supplement your diet
with digestive enzymes such as those found in Ω-Zyme™.
What’s in Ω-Zyme™ ?
Ω-Zyme™ contains potent enzymes that support the digestion
of a multitude of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract. Ω-Zyme™ contains
the following enzymes:
- Protease blend of five proteolytic enzymes aids
digestion and utilization of dietary proteins *
- Amylase digests starch *
- Lipase digests fats *
- Glucoamylase breaks down starch-like carbohydrates *
- Malt diastase (maltase) digests maltose based
carbohydrates or malt found in grains *
- Invertase (sucrase) is an enzyme that breaks down
sucrose into glucose and fructose *
- Alpha-galactosidase helps digestion of
difficult-to-digest foods such as beans, legumes and cruciferous
vegetables *
- Lactase digests the milk sugar lactose *
- Cellulase digests fiber cellulose into smaller units *
- Xylanase breaks down xylose, also called wood sugar *
- Pectinase breaks down carbohydrates such as pectin,
found in the pulp of many fruits *
- Hemicellulase breaks down carbohydrates widely present
in plant foods *
- Phytase breaks down phytic acid present in many
difficult-to-digest grains and beans. Research supports the view that
phytic acid present in plant foods interferes with digestion of proteins
and utilization of many important minerals, such as Zinc, Magnesium and
Iron *
- Beta-glucanase breaks down bulky beta-glucan molecules
into smaller units *
- Bromelain, derived from pineapple, breaks down a broad
variety of proteins *
- Papain, derived from papaya, also digests proteins into
peptides and amino acids *
What makes your Ω-Zyme different from other enzyme
supplements?
Ω-Zyme™ is one of the most complex and comprehensive
digestive enzyme products available, with 20 different digestive enzymes.
Additionally, it is formulated with one of the highest activity levels for
individual enzymes.
How do I take Ω-Zyme?
Ω-Zyme™ comes in two easy-to-use forms: Powder and
Caplets. Ω-Zyme™ powder can be sprinkled directly on food that is room
temperature or cooler at each meal or snack.
