Vegetarian
Pure Essence Real-Zymes
Overview
This digestive enzyme complex provides a broad spectrum of enzymes, many of which are well-researched for their ability to break down specific food components. The inclusion of various proteases, amylases, and lipases, along with enzymes targeting specific plant fibers (cellulase, hemicellulase, xylanase, pectinase, phytase, alpha-galactosidase), makes it suitable for vegetarian diets. However, the exact activity units (e.g., DU, HUT, FIP) for most enzymes are not disclosed, which makes it challenging to assess their precise effectiveness and whether they are at clinically optimal doses. While key ingredients like Alpha-Galactosidase, Lactase, and various Proteases (Fungal) are known to be effective at certain doses, the proprietary blend nature of the 'Totaltrac Blends' limits a definitive evaluation. The added L-Glutamine is at a low dose (25mg) and Magnesium (5mg) and Zinc (2.5mg) are also in very low amounts, unlikely to provide significant systemic benefits.
The Good
Comprehensive enzyme blend for diverse food types (proteins, carbs, fats, fibers).
Tailored for vegetarian diets, addressing plant-based food digestion.
Includes Alpha-Galactosidase for gas-causing oligosaccharides.
The Bad
Proprietary blends obscure individual enzyme amounts.
Lack of disclosed activity units for most enzymes makes efficacy assessment challenging.
Magnesium and Zinc are present in amounts unlikely to provide significant nutritional benefit.
