Betaine hydrochloride is an acid form of betaine, the natural source of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This is a necessary component of the digestive process as it aids in the breakdown and assimilation of food. The pancreatin in the Super Enzyme Complex contains a complex consisting of three basic enzymes amylase, protease and lipase . The protease acts as a catalyst in the accumulation of protein molecules in the food due to the chemical reaction hydrolysis. Meat is one of the foods that take the longest to be assimilated (from 5 to 24 hours) which is where the protease will help relieve abdominal heaviness. For athletes who consume more meat in their diet, the enzyme will help with protein assimilation and muscle gain. Amylase is an enzyme that aids in the rapid breakdown of complex carbohydrates to simple sugars assimilated by the small intestine. Lipase is a digestive enzyme secreted by the pancreas also known as a gland located behind the abdomen. Lipase is responsible for the breakdown of fat . The formula includes two other extracts, papaya and pineapple . Bromelain commonly appears in pineapple while papain is obtained among others from papaya. They stimulate the breakdown of proteins. The ingredients are supplemented with cow bile extract, a source of cholic acid. Format: Bottle of 90 tablets. How to use: Take 1 tablet with each meal.
