Similase contains a broad range of digestive enzymes including protease, amylase and lipase, to help support the breakdown of protein, carbohydrate and fat. Digestive enzymes are produced naturally by the body and act as catalysts to break down food so our bodies can absorb essential nutrients and utilise them for growth, repair and energy. Similase also supports the breakdown of dietary fibres and sugars, with enzymes such as cellulase and lactase, which help to breakdown lactose. As our bodies get older, our ability to create the necessary digestive enzymes may decline.Similase has been a favourite amongst our healthcare practitioners and their patients for many years now. A high potency, broad-spectrum formula that works in a range of pH conditions from 2 – 12, found in the acidic stomach to the alkaline intestine, it supports optimal digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. It works very well as part of a 5R gut restoration programme and can be taken alongside our other popular digestive products.
