Do Plant Enzymes Survive Through Stomach Acid? Part 1

http://www.takebackyourhealth.com

The National Enzyme Company (founded by Dr. Edward Howell) set out to prove once and for all that plant based enzymes survive the acid stomach. They conducted an experiment described on the web site www.enzymeuniversity.com. I will summarize their study here.

Analyzing digestion of the same meal, the researchers carried out four different tests: the meal without the digestive enzyme blend under perfect digestive conditions, the meal with the digestive enzyme blend under perfect digestive conditions, the meal without the digestive enzyme blend with 70% reduced gastric and intestinal secretion, and the meal with the digestive enzymes under the impaired digestion model.
Samples collected at various times during the digestion process were analyzed for glucose and nitrogen content, demonstrating carbohydrate and protein digestion, respectively. The enzymes improved the bioavailability of both proteins and carbohydrates in the lumen of the small intestine, not only under impaired digestive conditions, but also in healthy human digestion.
Glucose availability was increased four-fold in the "perfect" digestive system and by seven times in the impaired digestion model. Proteins were twice as bioavailable in the impaired digestive process. The activity of any digestive enzyme supplement in the small intestine "presupposes that the enzymes survive the acidity of the stomach."
