nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix® Digestive Enzymes - Single Bottle (90 Servings)

While there are many options to help support a child’s nutritional needs, it’s important to trust the supplement you’re using works for the unique needs of your child. That’s why we created nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix® Digestive Enzymes. While there are many children’s digestive health products on the market, nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes is uniquely formulated to aid children needing additional digestive support.

nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes promotes stomach comfort and bowel regularity in children by supporting the absorption of foods with a formula that works to split proteins during digestion, making them smaller and easier to digest. Not only does this promote normal digestion and absorption of nutrients, it also promotes bowel regularity.

In addition, nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes is formulated using the revolutionary Isotonix Delivery System. Combining the Isotonix Delivery System with an enhanced, patented enzyme blend that better tolerates stomach acids and supports the normal digestion of dairy and gluten, nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes presents a diversified formula designed for even the most challenging foods indulged in by children.

nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes works not only to promote stomach comfort, but also as a promoter of long-term digestive health. Give your child the nutritional support they deserve with DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes.

DigeZyme 
DigeZyme® is a multienzyme complex composed mainly of amylases (starch hydrolyzing enzymes), proteases (protein hydrolyzing enzymes) and lipases (lipid hydrolyzing enzymes). These digestive enzymes collectively support the breakdown of complex macromolecules into energy sources and promote the release of the nutrient content from the foods we eat. The digestive system naturally produces digestive enzymes. DigeZyme® supplements the gastrointestinal tract with enzymes to adequately support the body’s ability to digest food. In addition to the amylases, proteases, and lipases, DigeZyme® contains two additional digestive enzymes including lactase (lactose hydrolyzing enzyme) and cellulase (cellulose hydrolyzing enzyme). DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes supports the absorption and utilization of important nutrients and provides enzymes that promote the absorption of nutrients, in children who need digestive support.*

Sucrase (Invertase) 
Sucrase is a digestive enzyme secreted by the villi of the epithelium in the small intestine that supports the hydrolysis of sucrose, also known as table sugar, into glucose and fructose. Glucose and fructose can then enter the blood stream and be used for energy. The source of sucrase in this product is from food.

Maltase 
Maltase is another digestive enzyme produced by the villi of the epithelium in the small intestine. It promotes the hydrolyzation of the disaccharide maltose into two monosaccharide glucose molecules. The source of maltase in this product is from food.

Papain 
Papain is a sulfhydryl cysteine protease produced naturally in papaya fruit. It can be found naturally as a zymogen, or pre-enzyme, that is activated upon exposure to cysteine residues found in proteins. It has been shown to provide better support than other proteases due to the zymogen nature of the enzyme. Papain has been used traditionally to support digestion of tough animal meat fibers. Because papain is not chemically altered during its proteolytic activity, the enzyme is able to react multiple times per enzyme. Bromelain Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes, primarily proteases, found in the pumice and stems of pineapple. It is one of the few enzyme extracts shown to support the breakdown of casein, the major protein found in milk. Bromelain supports normal digestion of grains (gluten) and dairy (casein).

Kiwi Proteases (Actinidin)  
Kiwi fruit is rich in the protease actinidin which supports the body’s normal ability to degrade cysteine residues in proteins. Proteolytic activity on cysteine amino acids promotes the liberation of the sulfhydryl groups from proteins.

Glutamine  
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that the body can synthesize glutamine, but certain conditions can require more glutamine than the body can produce. It is involved in more biological processes than any other amino acid. Glutamine serves as a source of energy for the enterocytes lining the gastrointestinal tract, as well as some immune cells (intraepithelial lymphocytes, IgA plasma cells and goblet cells, which are epithelial in nature and secrete mucin). Glutamine has been shown to support the normal proliferation of enterocytes leading to preservation of the villi barrier function of the small intestine. Scientists have discovered that glutamine can support the health of the gastrointestinal lining.

Why are digestive enzymes important for my child’s health? 
Proper digestion is essential for the body to effectively utilize food for use by cells and tissues. Enzymes support the normal breakdown of food into substances that can be used to provide energy to the body. Supplementation with digestive enzymes provides the body with the additional support it needs for proper digestion.

How does nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes compare with other enzyme formulas? 
nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes contains DigeZyme®, which is designed to replenish essential digestive enzymes, supporting digestive health. It also contains protease enzymes that support the body’s normal ability to break down proteins such as casein (dairy) and grains (gluten).*

When is the best time to take nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes? 
It is generally recommended that enzyme supplements be taken at the beginning or early on in the meal to assure appropriate digestive support, since most food stays in the upper part of the stomach for an hour and half. However, if the enzymes are not taken before or at the beginning of the meal, they can be supplemented after the meal is started.

Are there any allergens in nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes? nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes is a vegetarian product and contains no wheat, soy, yeast, gluten, artificial flavor, starch, salt, preservatives or milk.

What is the serving size for nutraMetrix DNA Miracles Isotonix Digestive Enzymes?
