Digestive Mini's™: 180 caplets

"Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breaking down of food into smaller components that can be absorbed into a blood stream, for instance. Digestion is a form of catabolism: a break-down of larger food molecules to smaller ones.

In mammals, food enters the mouth, being chewed by teeth, with chemical processing beginning with chemicals in the saliva from the salivary glands. Then it travels down the esophagus into the stomach, where hydrochloric acid kills most contaminating microorganisms and begins mechanical break down of some food (e.g., denaturation of protein), and chemical alteration of some... After some time (typically an hour or two in humans, 4–6 hours in dogs, somewhat shorter duration in house cats, ...), the results go through the small intestine, through the large intestine, and are excreted during defecation.[1]www.wikipedia.com

Due mostly to age, but also to pancreatic inflammation and diet, most have a decrease in digestive enzyme production by 35 (sometimes earlier). Also no human makes the cellulase enzyme which is absolutely necessary to break down the cell walls of uncooked or unjuiced vegetables, to make their nutrients available for absorption. Without juicing or cooking, (which tear down vegetable cell walls by mechanical action or heating), raw vegetables do not yield any nutrition to a human. As without cellulase, the cell walls of vegetables remain intact with their nutrients locked inside throughout the process of human digestion. This lack of "full digestion" is also the reason for "gas" formation from eating raw vegetables and beans.

Digestive Mini's™ provide a blend of strong digestive enzymes including cellulase to more fully extract the nutrients from food and ease your digestive process. No other digestive enzyme product is as potent or complete in its action as the Digestive Mini's™!

Now, it must be said that one of the primary reasons we developed a digestive product was for a 9 year old who has trouble swallowing pills. So, originally the Digestive Mini's™ were "supposed" to be chewable. This was, we thought, a fantastic idea... until the first prototype. See, active (un-enterically coated/matrixed) enzymes will actually burn the tongue and inside of the mouth when chewed. Of course at that time, we had yet to experience that with any other chewable digestive enzyme and thought the papaya would help prevent that from happening. Unfortunately, it is exactly what happed when we tried the prototype for the Digestive Mini's™. The amount of active enzymes was too much for a chewable digestive enzyme product. Obviously this wasn't going to work. So, instead of making it chewable, we had it made very small in caplet size. Each caplet is just a tiny bit larger than the size of a homeopathic pill. Hence the term "Mini's" in the name. Now, it must also be said that everyone needs to beware of chewable digestive enzyme products. Because a digestive enzyme cannot contain the enzyme action claimed on the label and still be chewable (this excluded a strict papaya chewable). Any active enzyme without a protective enteric matrix will burn the mouth and tongue when chewed! As we have been reminded, "Real Active Enzymes" "bite or burn" the tongue and mouth as these structures lack the mucous coating the stomach and intestines have to protect them against the action of the digestive enzymes. Any digestive product you can chew and not get a biting or burning effect on the tongue likely contains no active enzymes! Chew a Digestive Mini's™ once and you won't do it again, they are meant to be swallowed whole, that's why they are mini in size but huge in enzymatic action!
