You may be aware that the ‘Traditional Herbal Medicines Product Directive’ (THMPD) became law in Europe in 2004 requiring all medicinal herbal products to be registered as medicines under a new category as ‘Traditional Herbal Medicines’.

Under the original UK Medicines Act, herbal remedies were exempt from licensing as long as no medicinal claims were made for them. New legislation removes this exemption meaning all medicinal herbal products on the European market must be either registered under the Directive by 30th April 2011 or removed from the market.

Nutri Plant-enzyme based Similase is formulated to provide balanced assistance to the digestion of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Unlike some digestive enzyme products which can become unstable in acidic environments, Similase remains active under all gastrointestinal pH conditions, from the acidic environment of the stomach to the more alkaline environment of the small intestine.

Nutri Similase is well-tolerated by sensitive patients and  contains optimum levels of the carbohydrate-digesting enzyme amylase, fat-digesting lipase and protein-deconstructing protease; as well as maltase, sucrase, lactase, cellulase, and finally phytase €“ the enzyme responsible for breaking down phytates that can otherwise hamper essential mineral absorption.

Enzymes are necessary for the digestion of large moleculemacronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats) into small molecules so they may be absorbed.

Protease breaks down proteins into absorbable peptides and amino acids. Lipase breaks down triglycerides into absorbable free fatty acids and glyercol. Only monosaccharides can be absorbed by the intestine. Starches and dissacharides must be broken down into single sugar units before being absorbed. Amylase breaks down starch. Maltase, lactase and sucrase break down the dissacharides maltose (malt sugar), lactose (milk sugar) and sucrose (table sugar) into monosaccharides for absorption.

Cellulase and phytase break down cellulose and phytates which can bind essential minerals and other nutrients, preventing their absorption.

Recommended Intake

1-2 capsules taken at the beginning of each meal, for an average total intake of 6 capsules daily, or as directed.

Psyllium husk fibre and apple pectin have long been utilised for their bulking and cleansing properties, supporting a healthy gastrointestinal tract and normal bowel function.

Psyllium is a bulking agent and is high in both fibre and mucilage, which makes psyllium ideally suited for intestinal health. Psyllium seeds contain 10-30% mucilage. Apple pectin supplies water-soluble fibre, an excellent food source for healthy bacteria. Pectin has the ability to form a gel, which can bind toxins and assist their excretion. Activated charcoal acts like a sponge, helping to support toxin removal from the large intestine. Goldenseal acts as a tonic to the mucous membranes in the digestive tract. Nutri Psyllium and Apple Pectin contains Lactobacillus to help maintain the normal balance of gut flora.
