• Improving gut health and balancing gut microbiota
• Enhancing post-exercise recovery
• Increasing muscle growth
• Enhancing immune function
• Improving glucose tolerance
• Helping to maintain healthy body composition

WHAT DOES TIME 4 DIGESTIVE ENZYMES CONTAIN?

Time 4 Digestive Enzymes is a specially formulated combination of evidence-based ingredients. These include:

BETAINE HCL

Betaine hydrochloride (HCL) is a combination of betaine, a compound found in certain foods such as beets and spinach, with hydrochloride, an acid salt that contributes to hydrochloric acid, the stomach’s primary acid source. It is most commonly used to increase hydrochloric acid levels in the stomach, which aids digestion, particularly of protein, improves nutrient absorption, and supports overall gastrointestinal health. It is often combined with protease to enhance the digestion of protein.

OX BILE

Ox bile is derived from purified bovine bile and contains bile salts almost identical to those produced in the liver. These salts exert the same physiological functions and health benefits as endogenous bile salts, which include supporting fat digestion, enhancing the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients, and promoting liver function and intestinal health.

PROTEASE

Protease is a type of digestive enzyme which breaks protein down into smaller peptides and individual amino acids to facilitates their digestion and absorption by the body, enabling them to perform a vital role in numerous processes such as tissue growth and repair and immune function.  In addition to its role in protein digestion and absorption, protease has been associated with a range of other benefits including enhancing immunity, tissue repair, muscle recovery and growth, and reducing inflammation.

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.

LIPASE

Lipase is an enzyme which plays a crucial role in fat digestion and absorption by breaking down triglycerides (fats) in food into smaller units of fatty acids and glycerol so that they can be absorbed by the body. It also aids the absorption of important fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins D, K, E and A.  Supplementation with lipase is associated with numerous benefits particularly for individuals with specific digestive issues or enzyme deficiencies, including encouraging normal nutrient digestion and absorption, supporting pancreatic enzyme levels, boosting immunity, and aiding weight management.

LACTASE

Lactase is an enzyme produced in the small intestine that breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products, into its component sugars, glucose and galactose.  A reduction or loss of lactase can result in lactose intolerance. This is characterised by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, and flatulence.

PAPAIN

Papain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the papaya fruit. It aids the digestion and absorption of protein, contributes to a healthy digestive tract, alleviates digestive symptoms, including bloating and discomfort, reduces inflammation and supports immune function.

BROMELAIN

Bromelain is an extract from pineapples. It possesses a unique combination of proteolytic activities, making it highly effective for the breakdown of protein and the alleviation of digestive issues such as bloating and wind. It also contributes to a healthy digestive system, reduces inflammation, and supports immune function.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT TIME 4 DIGESTIVE ENZYMES?

Time 4 Digestive Enzymes is a bespoke blend of 8 active evidence-based ingredients that work synergistically to support the digestion and absorption of all the macronutrients, i.e., protein, carbohydrate and fat, and the effective digestion of lactase, to ensure you get the maximum nutritional benefit from the food you consume while minimising the risk of gastrointestinal issues associated with poor digestion. The benefits of Time 4 Digestive Enzymes don’t end there. We understand that the digestion of protein can be particularly challenging for many people, as the process of reducing protein foods to their basic amino acids is more complicated and demanding than the digestion of other macronutrients. Protein also tends to be the most expensive nutrient. So, to ensure that you get the maximum benefit from the protein foods you consume, with no unpleasant side effects, we have added a blend of naturally derived proteolytic enzymes in addition to protease. Cholic acid is a bile acid that plays a crucial role in the digestion of fats and fat-soluble nutrients. It is so important for normal fat metabolism that is used medicinally to treat people with bile acid disorders. To help enhance your cholic acid levels we have included our special cholic acid support system, consisting of Ox bile and Betaine HCL. To ensure that Betaine HCL is absorbed optimally, Time 4 Digestive Enzymes come in capsule form, which has been shown to be the most effective method of delivery to the digestive system.  In addition to aiding digestion and nutrient absorption, the ingredients in Time 4 Digestive Enzymes have shown to provide a host of other benefits for health and performance, ranging from reducing inflammation and encouraging healthy gut bacteria to increasing muscle protein synthesis and enhancing post-exercise recovery.
