Details
Ixonix Digestive Enzymes is a blend of amylase, protease, cellulase, lactase, maltase, invertase and lipase enzymes. Enzymes are important for the body’s proper absorption and utilization of food. Over time, the body’s ability to make certain enzymes decreases as part of the natural aging process. Enzymes are responsible for every activity of life, including the digestion of proteins (proteases), the digestion of carbohydrates (amylases), and the digestion of fats (lipases).

Key Ingredients
Amylase
Amylases are enzymes that break down carbohydrates so the body can more easily absorb them. This process is completed when amylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-1, 4-glycosidic linkages of polysaccharides to yield dextrin, oligosaccharides, maltose and D-glucose.
Protease
Proteases are enzymes that break peptide bonds between amino acids in proteins. Proteases occur naturally in all organisms and are involved in a multitude of physiological reactions from simple digestion of food proteins to highly complex functions.
Lactase
Lactase is involved in the hydrolysis of lactose into the smaller sugars galactose and glucose. In humans, lactase is present in the small intestine. Lactase is essential for digestive hydrolysis of lactose in milk. Deficiency of the enzyme causes lactose intolerance; many people may become lactose intolerant as adults.
Lipase
Lipase is an enzyme that aids in the digestion of lipid (fat) substrates. Lipase acts to convert fats and triglyceride substrates found in oils from food to monoglycerides and free fatty acids.
Lipases can be found in the spaces outside of cells and have roles in the metabolism, absorption and transport of lipids throughout the body. Lipases are involved in diverse biological processes ranging from routine metabolism of dietary triglycerides to cell signaling.
Cellulase
Cellulase is an enzyme that breaks down cellulose to beta-glucose. Humans do not produce cellulase in their bodies and are therefore unable to use most of the energy contained in plant material. Cellulase is a plant enzyme that aids in the digestion of fibrous substances. Cellulase is used as a digestive aid and for the management of flatulence.
Invertase
Invertase is an enzyme that enhances the breakdown and digestion of sucrose, which the body can then use as a source of energy.
Maltase
Maltase is an enzyme that aids in the digestion of the disaccharide maltose. Maltase works by separating the bonds in maltose to produce glucose.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What are Digestive Enzymes?
Digestive enzymes are special catalytic proteins that help our bodies break down food to utilize the complete spectrum of nutrients in the food we eat. Ixonix Digestive Enzymes acts to supplement and maximize the activity of the body’s own enzymes in an easy-to-take, pleasant-tasting drink.
Ixonix Digestive Enzymes provides additional digestive enzymes for the body in order to maximize the absorption of nutrients from the food we eat.
How should I take Ixonix Digestive Enzymes?
Ixonix Digestive Enzymes is for ADULT USE ONLY. Take 1 full cap (3.33 g) once daily. Pour 1 level, white bottle capful effervescent powder (3.33 g) into the overcap. Add water to the line on the overcap (60 ml). Stir well and drink immediately.
How do enzymes function in the body?
Enzymes are the workhorses of our cells. They are proteins that catalyze many thousands of biochemical reactions in the body. While most enzymes work inside our cells, digestive enzymes operate outside the cells in the gastrointestinal tract.
The start of digestion begins with digestive enzymes secreted by salivary gland cells into our mouths. Cells lining the gastrointestinal tract also contribute enzymes such as pepsin in the stomach. In addition, digestive enzymes are produced in the pancreas and are emptied into the upper part of the small intestine.
These enzymes help to break apart proteins, starch, lactose and fats, allowing the body to optimize its effort to digest food. The result is a more complete digestive process, resulting in better nutritional absorption.
Ixonix Digestive Enzymes supplies enzymes that are not inactivated by stomach acid. What this means is that the supplemental enzymes mix with and work in concert with the ingested food and begin to work with the body’s own digestive enzymes to release as many of the nutrients as possible.
How do we digest food?
Even before we eat, our body’s digestive action begins to take place. Simply smelling food activates our salivary glands (hence the phrase, "mouthwatering"). As the food enters the stomach, the stomach acid and pepsin work together to begin breaking the food down into material that can be used by the small intestine (where most nutrients are absorbed). Enzymes specific to each of the three nutrient groups are released at this stage, further breaking down the food and contributing to digestion and absorption.
Is Ixonix Digestive Enzymes manufactured in a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility?
Yes, this product is manufactured in a GMP compliant facility which is inspected by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States of America.
