Regular Retail: $89.99Devacor ADS can be used safely in patients with known sensitivities to beef, pork, or pineapple, unlike other commonly used digestive aids. Devacor ADS supplements the individual's own secretions of pancreatic enzymes, allowing for more complete digestion of foods. Amylase, Protease, and Lipase (that digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) all require an alkaline pH for maximum activity. To insure that a sufficiently alkaline medium is present, sodium and potassium bicarbonates (normal components of pancreatic juices) have been added in the correct physiological ratio of 2:1. Devacor ADS is an all-natural product which can be effectively used to supplement a patient's low pancreatic enzyme production or augment food factors that may be missing from the diet.
Digestive Enzymes
The food we eat has three major components: Carbohydrates, Fats/Oils, and Proteins, which are digested in our body by enzymes amylase, protease, and lipase, respectively. Digestion begins in mouth where the enzyme Ptylin in saliva breaks down starches into more simple sugars. Once the food is swallowed it comes in contact with the hydrochloric acid and enzyme pepsin in the stomach where the digestion of proteins start. In about half an hour the food reaches the intestine, where it is exposed to digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas, which digests proteins, starches and fats. Gall bladder secretes bile while emulsifies and helps in digestion of fats.
A healthy body produces all these enzymes in sufficient quantities to ensure proper digestion of food. In some people enough quantities of these enzymes are not produced, and they often get the common symptoms of indigestion such as gas, bloating, heartburn and constipation. In such cases, supplementing the natural enzymes secreted by our body ensures that the food is digested properly. Digestive enzymes preparations aid our body enzymes in digestion of food.
