Hypo Zymase is a gentle yet highly effective, dual-phase digestive product designed specifically to support the stomach and small intestine. This product presents a powerful synergistic blend of two types of HCl (betaine) and Glutamic acid, enzymes, ox bile, and organic (bitter) botanicals to gently and effectively bring balancing terrain factors to the correct binding sites.*
As different enzymes require activation at different pH levels, our exclusive enteric matrix formulation generates a pH-sensitive release of the right synergistic ingredients at the right time, at the right level, and in the right sequence. This ensures that the correct enzymes are released in the gastric phase while the additional synergists are released in the duodenal phase. This is a significant point as many HCl digestive products tend to create dependencies due to their lack of synergistic ingredients and over-amped HCl content. Hypo Zymase provides the right level of HCl therapy and, typically, will not cause a burning sensation or dependence like the straight forms of betaine often do. This is especially true for older patients who often require hydrochloric acid therapy.
The small intestine participates in all aspects of digestion, absorption, and transport of ingested materials. It secretes a variety of digestive and protective substances as well as receiving the secretions of the pancreas, liver, and gall bladder. Conditions involving the small intestine often result in malabsorption syndromes characterized by multiple nutrient deficiencies.
Common causes of malabsorption also may include celiac disease, gluten intolerance, food allergy or intolerance, intestinal infections, and Crohn's.
Individuals suffering from stomach and intestinal problems most frequently assume that heartburn, indigestion, gas, and reflux are caused by the overproduction of stomach acid. This is a common misconception because often, symptoms of stomach acid (hydrochloric acid or HCl) over-production and under-production are virtually identical.
Other causes of low gastric acid production include malnutrition and excessive use of antacids and H2 receptor antagonists. This may promote inadequate mineral and vitamin uptake due to the malabsorption of iron, calcium, zinc, and B12.
