Cellulase
Enzymes & Cellulose Fiber Information
Cellulase enzymes
digest cellulose fiber, and aids in malabsorption. The cellulase
enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose fiber to cellobiose
(a simpler cellulose chain). Cellulase enzymes are present
in intestinal bacteria. The cellulase enzymes break cellulose
fiber down to beta-glucose (blood sugar).
Cellulose fiber is poorly digested by humans and has little
nutritional value, however, they are very important for the
structure of cell membranes. The food industry has added many
types of natural, semi synthetic, or totally synthetic forms
of fiber, like cellulose fiber, in order to create thickness
to foods, as well as to increase over all fiber content. Since
humans poorly digest cellulose fiber, taking a digestive enzyme
product, like VÄXA Digestin,
that contains cellulase enzymes is not only necessary, but
also vital for healthy cells.
The cell membranes, which surround the cells, can be considered
the most important part of the cell. The cell membranes separate
vital chemicals and structures needed to protect the cell
from the environment, which may contain free radicals, chemicals,
and structures that are harmful to the cell. They also help
regulate the types and amounts of molecules pulled from the
environment into the cells. |
