Description**
TPPTM Carbo is formulated to provide optimum
digestibility of various complex polysaccharides found in
grains, seeds, legumes, vegetables and other plant materials.
Improperly digested, these plant-based compounds create
various discomforts including formation of gases, imbalances
in the intestinal microflora ecosystem and metabolites that
may promote various metabolic disorders. The powerful, natural
ingredients in TPPTM Carbo support the GI tract by improving
epithelial cell vitality, strengthening peristalsis, preventing
excess gas formation and improving tolerance of vegetables
and legumes. The herbs in this natural formulation soothe
and support both the GI tract and the liver and enhance
the overall digestion and absorption processes the body.
TzymeTM Protease - A proprietary blend
of enzymes consists of alkaline, neutral and acid proteases
with endo/exo peptidase activities. The proteases will help
in hydrolyzing dietary proteins as well as cellular debris
in the GI tract. This hydrolization process helps to prevent
the formation of toxigenic amines.
TzymeTM Lipase Blend - This lipolytic
enzymes in this blend ensure hydrolysis of lipids in the
GI tract and within some of the herbal ingredients. This
will promote bio-availability and absorption of nutrients.
TzymeTM Polysaccharolytic Blend - The
enzymes in this formulation are designed to ensure the hydrolysis
of the various glycosidic bonds in legumes, vegetables,
fruits and other plant materials. Dietary carbohydrates
consit of several different types of complex polysaccharides.
These polysaccharides provide necessary monosaccharides
to be used for energy and synthesis of glycoproteins. The
complete digestion of the polysaccharides reduces irritation
of intestinal mucosa and prevents excess gas formation in
the GI tract. Amylase and glucoamylase are starch (amylose)
digesting enzymes from Aspergillus oryzae. Supplementation
with amylase and glucoamylase allows digestion of starchy
foods during their transit through the gastrointestinal
tract. These enzymes can tolerate the low pH of the gastric
juice. Amylase hydrolyzes the starchy foods and liberates
maltose whereas the glucoamylase removes D-glucose residues
by hydrolyzing 1,4 D-glucosidic bonds. Glucoamylase from
Aspergillus niger can also cleave the 1,6 D-glucosidic bonds
found in amylopectin. Malt-diastase and enzyme closely related
to amylase, attacks starch at their ends, cleaving off disaccharides.
Enzymes bound to the brush border of epithelial cells lining
the small intestine then break down disaccharides. The final
products, simple sugars, are readily absorbed into the circulation.
Cellulase an enzyme that breaks down cellulose, (main component
of plant fiber) is not produced by the human body. The addition
of cellulase is not primarily intended to break down cellulose
to the extent required for absorption, but rather to increase
its solubility and thus enhance its ability to bind water
and toxins. Binding water increases stool bulk and decreases
transit time. Pectinase/phytase respectively break down
pectin, a non-cellulose polysaccharide commonly found in
fruits and vegetables, and phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphoric
acid) found in grains, seeds, rhizomes and other plant material.
Ginger Root Extract - An excellent remedy
for many digestive complaints, ginger root's benefits includes
improvement of indigestion, nausea and gas. Its beneficial
effects are largely due to its volatile oil and oleoresin
content.1 One mechanism by which ginger achieves its effects
is through support from mucin production (which protects
the digestive tract).2 Ginger root contains a digestive
enzyme, zingiban, whose effectiveness even exceeds that
of papain.3
Peppermint Extract - This herb is excellent
for the digestive system. Its actions relieve gas, increase
the flow of digestive juices and bile and relax the muscles
of the gut.4 Peppermint oil inhibits gastrointestinal smooth
muscle con- Tractions. Peppermint also inhibits and destroys
many kinds of microorganisms that create severe digestive
problems as in irritable bowel symptoms.5
Artichoke - This nutrient contains caffeylquinic
acid compounds. These substances are probably the most important
constituent for stimulating bile secretion and lowering
cholesterol.6
Fennel Seed Extract - Fennel seed contains about 8% volatile
oil (about 80% anethole plus fenchone and methylchavicol)
that relieves gas.4 The actions of this ingredient promote
gastrointestinal motility. In higher concentrations, as
in this formula, it acts as an antispasmodic.7
Flaxseed - This ingredient contains the
essential fatty acids and lipid soluble vitamins for proper
nutrition. The antioxidant properties of this ingredient
help the body to fight free radicals.
Indications:
Legume (Bean) Intolerance - Alpha-Galactosidase
breaks down galactosidic linkages, common in legume carbohydrates.
This enzyme is not normally present in. humans. As a result,
this enzyme is of particular value to those who choose a
diet rich in legumes or who have a special sensitivity to
them. TzymeTM Protease Blend will help digest the relatively
high protein content in legumes.
Chronic Flatulence - Flatulence results
from bacterial fermentation of any undigested carbohydrates,
net just beans. TPPTM Carbo contains an array of enzymes
specific for carbohydrates plus carminative herbs to relieve
excess gas formation and retention.
Children's Colic - In many cases one Important
contributor to colic is food allergy.8 Since food antigens
are destroyed if food is thoroughly digested, the array
of digestive enzymes found in TPPTM Carbo is of benefit
for colic in children where food allergy is a direct cause
of .the condition.
Low Blood Sugar - Chronic inability to
fully digest complex carbohydrates often leads to the consumption
of large quantities of simple sugars. This, in turn, leads
to sudden large spikes in blood sugar levels. In some individuals,
the resulting rise in blood insulin levels is excessive
and causes a sudden fall in blood sugar. The enzyme blends
and nutrients in TPPTM Carbo supports the thorough digestion
of complex carbohydrates, promoting a more gradual release
of the resulting simple sugars into the blood. The result
is a more gradual release of insulin thus reducing or eliminating
these high/low blood sugar cycles.
Recommended Dosage:
Take one (1) capsule with every meal or snack or following
each meal or snack (especially if high in complex carbohydrates).
Drink at least 8 oz. of liquid with each dosage. If you
have difficulty swallowing capsules remove contents from
capsule, mix with a small amount of tepid water and ingest
immediately.
Dosage may be increased according to need as directed by
health care practitioner.
