Get down to the guts and bolts of digestive health science and learn exactly how enzymes and probiotics work.
“Biotics” (which means relating to or resulting from living things) is a term we have come to hear a lot about over the past few decades and has increasingly been…
Enzymes provide all kinds of health benefits, including digestive function improvement. Natural digestive enzymes work to break down the foods we eat into small, digestible molecules. While enzymes are both produced…
PreforPro is a next-generation prebiotic that supports the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut utilizing phage technology. But how exactly does PreforPro work? Learn more below.
The ability to understand the microbiome and its impact on the body is continually growing with advances in sequencing methods and initiatives like the Human Microbiome Project. But what exactly…
Genome sequencing is a laboratory process that can be performed with any full copy of DNA. Determining the DNA sequence of an organism can help reveal what each gene making…
As we learn more about more about digestive health, we are empowered to improve our overall health and well-being. It’s a great feeling to take control of our digestive systems…
Most people think “high-energy” foods are high in sugars, caffeine, or certain vitamins, but none of these by themselves is the source of true energy—that role belongs to adenosine triphosphate…
It’s the little poem we all learned as kids and laughed out loud when we heard it – “beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you…”,…
Health conscious consumers are developing a greater awareness of probiotics and how their bodies rely on the “good” bacteria that live in the gut to execute essential biological processes– ranging…
Dr. Jokochi Takamine The use of enzymes for dietary supplements began with a young Japanese immigrant, Jokochi Takamine. Born in Takaoka, present-day Toyama Prefecture, in November 1854, Takamine spent his…
The potency of enzymes is not measured in the same way as other nutritional supplements. Enzymes are not measured by weight, so the number of milligrams of a product would…
Supplemental enzymes fall into one of two categories, digestive or systemic formulations. Systemic enzymes include every health condition besides digestion, but tend to concentrate on inflammation, cardiovascular and immune health.…
The Microbiome It may be hard to imagine, but our bodies are home to more than 100 trillion microorganisms…this means that the bacteria in your body outnumber your body’s cells…
What are Enzymes? All biological reactions within human cells depend on enzymes—they are necessary to sustain life. They are not live organisms; they are actually proteins—long chains of amino acids…
