Vital-Zymes Forte by Klaire Labs is a broad-acting multi-enzyme digestive enzymes formula that has been improved and now contains DPP-IV activity and avoids papain for tolerance by individuals sensitive to papaya. Acts as a great alternative to Vital-Zymes Complete for those who wish to avoid lysozyme (a highly purified enzyme derived from egg white).
A broad-spectrum enzyme formulation for routine daily use as needed, Vital-Zymes Forte is a proprietary blend of vegetarian enzymes that can assist in the breakdown of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, and fibers.
The enzymes in Vital-Zymes Forte provide broad support for individuals who require enzyme supplementation to support digestive and intestinal health. Mid-range amounts of lactase (dairy/lactose-specific) and alpha-galactosidase (legume-specific) are included so that individuals who have difficulty with these foods can increase the number of capsules taken, while those who do not have problems with these foods are not paying for expensive enzyme activity that is not required.
This formula also supplies DPP-IV activity to support optimal cleaving of casein and gluten and their exorphin peptides (casomorphin and gluteomorphin). The use of plant-based and microbial enzymes in this formulation provides multi-enzyme activity that continues to function within the broad range of pH conditions (pH of 2 to 12) found throughout the intestinal tract.
