AMYLASE

Amylase is the digestive enzyme responsible for the digestion of carbohydrate.  It does this by breaking down complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides) into smaller disaccharide units (two glucose molecules), eventually converting them into the monosaccharide (one glucose units), which can then be absorbed easily and used by the body for energy production. Amylase is also associated with a reduction in gastrointestinal symptoms, such as bloating and wind, increased energy production, improved ability to tolerate stress, enhanced immunity, and blood glucose regulation, and has anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing properties.
