Why Lipase is So Important

Lipase digests fats and oils that interfere with the activity of other enzymes. When fats and oils form a film around nutrients such as starches and proteins (which commonly happens in the stomach) the digestion rate of these nutrients decreases when they reach the duodenum if there is a shortage of lipase naturally produced by the pancreas. Try to visualize a protease enzyme like bromelain trying to digest a piece of pork that is covered with fat. Fat from the pork, fat from butter, fat from cooking oil, and other fatty foods in the meal. It becomes difficult for bromelain  to "get a hold of" the fat coated pork proteins.

On a molecular level, fat blocks bromelain's active site and reduces its activity. This interference can be easily demonstrated in the lab. Add bromelain to some ground meat and water in a beaker and measure its rate of digestion. Now repeat the test, but add a few grams of butter to a second beaker containing the same amount of meat and bromelain and the rate of protein digestion will be much slower.

Lipase is the enzyme that directly digests fats and oils and converts these triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol that are often utilized for energy and metabolism. Problems arise when fats are not effectively digested. Blood triglycerides go up, intestinal problems develop, and fat appears in stools. As we age, it's common for all digestive enzymes to decrease by 1-2% per year, and lipase is no exception.

Therefore, it makes sense to add high lipase activity to a multi-enzyme supplement. Why is this not usually done? Because lipase is one of the most expensive enzymes in the world to market! Cost notwithstanding, ENZALASE® has been formulated to contain 6,000 FIP units of lipase activity per capsule. - The HIGHEST strength available in a nonprescription digestive enzyme supplement.

It is known that 6,000 FIP units of lipase activity will digest about 28 grams, or one ounce, of olive oil in one hour at body temperature. This provides significant augmentation to the lipase produced by the body. For example, a 2,000 calorie per day diet containing 30% of the calories of the calories as fat would contain 67 grams of fat. The amount of lipase in ENZALASE® would be sufficient to digest 42% of this amount of fat in one hour and over 80% in two hours.

From this it can be seen that products containing less than 1,000 FIP units of lipase activity per dose are simply not effective in supporting fat digestion. In addition, ENZALASE® contains EnzaStim®, a unique fat emulsifier that can double the above digestion rate under conditions found in the duodenum (Patent Pending).

Fat digestion is dependent upon having the fats emulsified (effectively micro-mixed with water) and EnzaStim®, found ONLY in ENZALASE®, helps support the body's fat emulsifying secretions.

"I am writing this testimonial because I am so excited about Theralac and Enzalase! I was diagnosed with severe IBS around a year ago. I had been miserable for more than 2 years with severe constipation and horrible bloating, cramps, gas, and so fatigued.

I had a friend suggest I take a probiotic. I got on the internet and searched for days. I finally came across the Theralac website and it changed my life! I started with the highest dosage I could, and over a few months was able to reduce it.

I am now taking ENZALASE also and feel the same about it!
