Digestion

We understand that fibers and enzymes can support the body and promote health. Therefore, we have produced a range of high-quality fiber and enzyme products to assist in these aspects as effectively as possible.

At Kala Health, we believe in the power of scientifically backed products. Our choice of fibers and enzymes is based on numerous studies demonstrating the benefits of these substances. Due to specific claims regulations set by the Health Council, we are unable to provide explanations about the functions of digestive enzymes and fibers in the body. We encourage everyone to conduct their own research through literature reviews. For advice, please call us during office hours at +31 (0)70-345-0290.

What is Digestion?

Digestion is the complex process through which our bodies break down food and convert it into usable nutrients. It begins in the mouth, where saliva enzymes start breaking down carbohydrates. The food then travels to the stomach, where stomach acid and digestive enzymes break down proteins. The small intestine absorbs nutrients, while the large intestine absorbs water and minerals and processes undigested food.

Digestive Process Overview

  1. Mouth: It all begins in the mouth, where chewing and saliva break down food and the first digestive enzymes start breaking down carbohydrates.
  2. Stomach: Food travels to the stomach, where stomach acid and digestive enzymes break down proteins. The stomach acts like a powerful blender, breaking down food into a liquid substance.
  3. Small Intestine: Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine. Here, digestive enzymes such as amylase and lipase aid in further breaking down carbohydrates and fats so they can be absorbed by the body.
  4. Large Intestine: The large intestine absorbs water and minerals and processes undigested food. Beneficial bacteria in the large intestine play a role in digesting fibers and producing certain vitamins.

Our fibers and enzymes category includes a carefully curated selection of products, each designed to offer specific health benefits. Our top products include:

Digestive Enzymes

Kala Health’s digestive enzymes are designed to support the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. These enzymes are derived from plant sources and produced through fermentation with fungi such as Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus subtilus. Thanks to these production processes, the supplements contain a wide range of enzymes including protease, pepsin, papain, bromelain, amylase, and lipase. This comprehensive spectrum of enzymes ensures effective support as they are active across a broad pH range.

Enzymes are produced in different parts of the digestive tract, a process more complex than it seems. For instance, pepsin is secreted by the stomach and functions effectively in its acidic environment. Other enzymes are delivered to the small intestine by the pancreas and only function in a basic environment. Digestion thus involves a refined interplay between food and organs, where enzymes must be released precisely at the right time and place, under the correct conditions, to be effective.

Benefits of Digestive Enzymes

  • Plant-based Source: The enzymes are 100% plant-based and suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
  • Broad pH Action: The enzymes are effective in both the acidic environment of the stomach and the alkaline environment of the small intestine.
  • Quality and Purity: Kala Health guarantees the purity and efficacy of their products through rigorous quality controls. The supplements are free from preservatives, synthetic substances, and allergens.

Key Ingredients and Their Functions

  • Protease: Aids in breaking down proteins into amino acids.
  • Pepsin: Supports protein digestion in the stomach.
  • Papain and Bromelain: Plant enzymes that help break down proteins.
  • Amylase: Breaks down starches and carbohydrates into simple sugars.
  • Lipase: Breaks down fats into glycerol and fatty acids.

Usage and Dosage For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to take 1-2 capsules per day during a meal. This allows the enzymes to work directly with the consumed food.

Plant-based Digestive Fibers

Kala Health’s plant-based digestive fibers are a supplement designed to support health. This product includes a unique blend of prebiotic fibers, Aquamin®F, and Aquamin®Mg.

Kala Health ensures that all their fiber supplements are free from preservatives, synthetic substances, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Moreover, the products are suitable for both vegetarians and vegans, making them accessible to a wide audience.

The importance of dietary fibers for health is supported by numerous scientific studies. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to elaborate on this. Please read or listen to peer-reviewed, independent research for more information on (plant-based) dietary fibers.

Quality and Purity

Kala Health strives for the highest quality and purity in their products. They undergo stringent quality controls and are tested by independent laboratories to ensure they meet the highest standards. This guarantees that you receive a safe, effective, and reliable product.

Plant-Based Digestive Enzymes

Anyone can benefit from supplementing with digestive enzymes, especially if they have disrupted gut flora or produce fewer digestive enzymes. This product from Kala Health is suitable, particularly for older individuals, as the digestive capacity of the digestive system decreases with age. By taking digestive supplements with meals, they help break down food and enhance nutrient absorption. Kala Health’s plant-based digestive enzyme capsules are fully vegan and made from top-quality ingredients produced through fermentation using various fungi. The broad spectrum of digestive enzymes positively affects digestion.

Plant-Based digestive Fiber

Kala Health’s plant-based digestivefibers are also of high quality and positively influence digestion. Our capsules, without any additives or flavorings, contain top-quality ingredients. Each capsule contains high-quality prebiotic fibers and Aquamin® sea algae and seawater concentrate. The combination of Aquamin®F (sea algae) and Aquamin®Mg (seawater concentrate) is rich in minerals, calcium, and magnesium. It contains more than 70 natural minerals and trace elements that occur in the ocean in biologically active form. The dietary fibers are well-researched, with their positive effects on digestion demonstrated in over 100 clinical studies.
