DigeSEB Super™

DigeSEB Super™

Digestive Health Equals Gut Health  

Gut health is crucial for overall health and well-being. The gut impacts everything from sleep and energy levels to the immune system, skin, mental and emotional health.  

Well-informed consumers know the first step to good gut health is proper digestion.  

An Expanding Market  

In 2023, 67% of American adults reported experiencing recurrent digestive issues, such as bloating, gas and abdominal pain. With more consumers looking to take ownership of their health and reaching for clean-label, science-backed products, it makes sense the digestive supplement market is skyrocketing.  

The global digestive enzyme market, valued at $699.40 million in 2021, is projected to reach $1.64 billion by 2031, presenting opportunities for savvy formulators to cater to the growing demand for digestive enzyme products.  

As the creators of the original DigeSEB® line, a range of tried-and-true digestive enzyme blends, Specialty Enzymes & Probiotics is at the forefront of the digestive space. And leading the way is DigeSEB Super™, the most potent formula in the line.  

DigeSEB Super™ 

DigeSEB Super™ is a research-backed blend of 15 enzymes expertly designed to promote optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.* 

The enzymes in DigeSEB Super™ target protein, carbohydrates and fats, as well as legumes, milk, soy, grains, and difficult-to-digest gluten and casein.  

The expertly formulated ingredient is designed to work throughout the digestive tract at a range of pHs, and with synergistic action. Each enzyme has potent activity, and work together in concert to produce powerful side activities, enhancing the overall potency and efficacy.* 

In vitro Study 

A recently published in vitro study investigated the effectiveness of DigeSEB Super™ in breaking down the macromolecules in complex food. 

A well-balanced food mixture (a mix of carbohydrates, fats and proteins from different sources) was tested using simulated in vitro digestion with standard digestive enzymes to mimic the body’s natural digestive system.  

The study examined digestion with and without DigeSEB Super™, monitoring parameters like viscosity and the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. 

Results showed within one hour of digestion: 

  • 82% reduction in food viscosity* 
  • 51% more free amino acid release*^ 
  • 69% more sugar release*^ 
  • 10% more free fatty acids (FFA) released*^ 
^ with DigeSEB Super™ vs without DigeSEB Super™ 

Study Highlights 

Reduced Food Viscosity 

Results showed an 82% decrease in food viscosity, allowing for faster gastric emptying.  

Food Viscosity and Gastric Emptying 

Viscosity, the thickness and resistance to the flow of food, plays a crucial role in the speed at which food is broken down and its nutrients can be absorbed by the body.  

Foods with higher viscosity encounter more difficulty moving through the digestive tract, potentially delaying the absorption of nutrients and negatively impacting overall nutrition.* 

Faster gastric emptying increases nutrient bioavailability and supports the body in absorbing nutrients more efficiently. It also reduces the potential risks of obstruction or bacterial growth from food lingering in the stomach for extended periods.*  

Enhanced Protein Digestion 

The addition of DigeSEB Super™ led to 51% more amino acid release, showing enhanced protein digestion.  

Protein is an essential source of energy. It is comprised of long chains of amino acids and is involved in DNA replication, cell division, metabolism, and maintaining the body’s structure and function. For the body to utilize this energy, the protein must be broken down into smaller, more absorbable components.  

Undigested protein can cause various health issues, including bloating, gas and inflammation. 

Better Carbohydrate Digestion 

Results showed 69% more sugar release, demonstrating better carbohydrate digestion.  

Carbohydrates are a crucial energy source for the brain and muscles, providing fuel. Inadequate energy levels may cause feelings of tiredness and fatigue. 

Improved Fat Digestion 

Supplementation with DigeSEB Super™ led to 10% more free fatty acids (FFA), representing improved fat digestion.  

Fat is essential for providing energy, supporting cell function and allowing the body to absorb vital fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. Undigested fat can lead to digestive discomfort, loose stool and malabsorption of important fat-soluble vitamins. 

Results showed DigeSEB Super™ reduced food viscosity and gastric emptying time, facilitating quicker nutrient absorption in the small intestine.* It also improved the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.*
