Carbozyme
(Carbohydrate Digestive Enzyme)
Background
Carbozyme provides amylase, an enzyme that digests starch and carbohydrates in foods such as potatoes, rice, cereals, beans and all legumes. Amylase is produced by the salivary glands in the mouth, by the pancreas and by the small intestine. Its function is to break down carbohydrates, which are usually in the form of polysaccharides, to disaccharides and then to monosaccharide. Improper or incomplete digestion of carbohydrates may cause a variety of symptoms such as bloating, flatulence, low energy levels and other digestive problems. It may also reduce the body's ability to absorb nutrients from foods containing carbohydrates.Additional Information
