High potency broad spectrum digestive enzyme complex with hydrochloric acid. Supports healthy digestion and optimal nutrient absorption.
Helps reduce bloating, gas and indigestion by promoting more efficient breakdown of food.
Aids in the absorption of key nutrients like vitamin B12 and iron.
Beneficial for individuals with lactose intolerance, pancreatic insufficiency or age-related enzyme decline.
Cyto-Zyme is a high potency broad spectrum plant-sourced digestive enzyme complex providing 7 digestive enzymes - bromelain, lipase, protease, amylase, papain, lactase and cellulase. Additionally, it contains hydrochloric acid (as betaine hydrochloride) which is produced by the stomach as a vital part of the digestive process, to further support digestion. As we age, our body's natural production of stomach acid and digestive enzymes decreases. Various factors can impact digestive capacity, including age, stress, medications, and insufficient nutrient intake. It can also be used at time of indulgence to support digestion. Cyto-Zyme provides a range of enzymes, promoting better digestive health and nutrient absorption.
Digestive enzymes are naturally produced by the body to break down food into its basic components, enabling their absorption through the gut wall. There are various types of digestive enzymes, including amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates; protease, which breaks down proteins; lipase, which breaks down fats; and lactase, which breaks down lactose found in dairy products.
Digestive enzymes play a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of food breakdown and improving overall digestion. Here are some key benefits:
Improved digestion: Digestive enzymes help reduce symptoms such as bloating, gas, and indigestion by breaking down food more effectively.
Optimised nutrient absorption: By facilitating the breakdown of food into its basic components, digestive enzymes ensure optimal absorption of nutrients, which is vital for overall health.
Support for enzyme insufficiencies: Individuals with enzyme insufficiencies, such as lactose intolerance or pancreatic insufficiency, may benefit significantly from supplemental digestive enzymes.
Some digestive enzymes are sourced from animals, but Cyto-Zyme is sourced entirely from plants making it suitable for vegans.

Digestive enzyme supplements typically start working shortly after reaching the stomach, often within the first 15–30 minutes. For optimal results, they should be taken just before or at the beginning of a meal to ensure they mix with food during digestion.
Digestive enzyme supplements can be helpful for people who have nutrient deficiencies, food intolerances or experience bloating, gas, or indigestion, especially after meals. They’re also useful for those with enzyme deficiencies, like lactose intolerance, or for anyone whose digestion may be affected by low stomach acid, age, stress, or certain medications. They can also be used at times of indulgence to support digestion.
