The Live Active Enzyme Blend included in Alkaplex Green Plus & Multi-Life helps your body to digest dietary carbohydrate, protein and fat - augmenting those made in your system and found in fresh food - thereby greatly improving the absorption of nutrients into your body.

ACTIVE ENZYME includes the following digestive enzymes:

Amylase
A natural plant extract which helps your body break down and assimilate starches and carbohydrates. Amylase has been shown to help reduce stress.

Cellulase
Digests cellulose (fiber). Cellulase, which is not found in the human system, breaks the bonds found in fiber. By disrupting the structure of the fiber matrices or cell walls which envelop most of the nutrients in plants, cellulase increases the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables.

Invertase
Works to break down sucrose products like refined table sugar into glucose and fructose. The abundance of processed and highly refined foods in the average diet means that we consume a great amount of this type of sugar which can contribute to undue digestive stress. It is theorized that unrecognized sucrose intolerance is a contributing factor in many allergies. Supplemental Invertase enzymes can increase the assimilation and utilization of this sugar.

Lactase
Digests milk sugar. Lactase deficiency is the most common and well-known form of carbohydrate intolerance. Lactase digests lactose milk sugar into glucose and galactose. Most mammals, including humans, have high intestinal lactase activity at birth. But, in some cases this activity declines to low levels during childhood and remains low in adulthood. The low lactase levels cause maldigestion of milk and other foods containing lactose. It is estimated that approximately 70% of the world's population is deficient in intestinal lactase with more than one-third of the U.S. population presumed to be unable to digest dairy products. Supplemental lactase enzymes have been found to decrease the symptoms of lactose intolerance associated with the consumption of dairy foods.

Lipase
Contributes to carbohydrate and fat digestive action. When added to a meal as a supplement, it digests dietary fat, relieving the gallbladder, liver and the pancreas, which would otherwise need to produce the requisite enzymes. Protein absorption from fatty foods such as fish or seeds can be improved by incorporating supplemental lipase enzymes in the diet.

Maltase
Digests complex and simple sugars. Maltase breaks down unused glycogen in muscle. Glycogen is a thick, sticky substance that is converted from sugars and starches and is stored in your muscle cells for future use. If stored glycogen continues to build up in the muscle tissues, it leads to progressive muscle weakness and degeneration.

Protease 1, Protease 2
Digests protein. Since blood borne marauders are composed of proteins, ingesting protease can breakdown and destroy unwanted fungi, bacteria and viruses in the bloodstream. Taking protease enzymes in supplement form spares the natural pool of protease digestive enzymes from being expended in the digestion of protein.
