Calcium Carbonate

Nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract are absorbed most efficiently when the environment is alkaline (pH over seven). Calcium carbonate helps to alkalize the digestive tract, allowing for optimal absorption of nutrients.

Prebiotic Isomalto-Oligosaccharide (IMO)

IMO is a natural, non-GMO prebiotic fiber for promoting digestive health. When IMO enters the intestines, it is consumed by the probiotic bacteria, allowing the good bacteria to flourish. It has been clinically shown to greatly increase the number of indigenous bacteria in the digestive tract. Clinical studies have shown IMO to be more effective than other prebiotics like inulin and FOS.

E. faecium

A probiotic that has been shown to be clinically effective in the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

L. acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus is healthy bacteria that produces hydrogen peroxide, lactic acid, and other substances that create an acidic, unfriendly environment for harmful organisms.

Protease

A proteolytic enzyme that is capable of digesting a broad range of proteins. Protease is responsible for digesting the bulk of ingested proteins. Novequin contains a blend of proteases to broaden the pH range of the product. This enzyme digests excessive blood proteins as well. When present in blood serum, protease plays an important role in circulatory health.

Amylase

An enzyme that breaks down starches. Amylase helps ease digestion of excess starches processed in the large intestine.

Hemicellulase

Breaks down hemicellulose, a polysaccharide that’s present along with cellulose in all plant cell walls.

Cellulase

An enzyme that digests cellulose, or plant fiber. Most animals do not produce cellulose naturally and are therefore unable to use most of the energy contained in plant material.
