For athletes or health enthusiasts who are consuming high-protein diets, a common issue is an undigested protein. Undigested protein creates an unhealthy gut microbiome, leading to bloating, gas, and even kidney and liver problems. Adding a strong digestive enzyme blend to protein powders is critical to support the body with protein digestion and absorption.
And DigeSEB Sport™ is a cut above the rest. A synbiotic digestive enzyme blend, it brings together the synergistic activities of digestive enzymes, probiotics and a prebiotic. DigeSEB Sport™ promotes optimal protein digestion and microflora diversity and balance, helping reduce the negative effects of protein indigestion on the gut microbiome.
A randomized cross-over study evaluated the effect of DigeSEB Sport™ when taken with whey protein on amino acid absorption and the gut microbiome. The study evaluated blood samples for plasma-free amino acids, insulin and CRP, as well as urine and fecal nitrogen and the gut microbiota over 15 days with a washout period of 30 days. Study results showed the test arm had a greater rate of amino acid absorption, and higher production of essential and branched-chain amino acids, while the placebo arm showed a significant insulin increase after protein consumption.
In addition to supporting protein digestion and amino acid absorption, DigeSEB Sport™ was also shown to promote the production of postbiotics that regulate skin health, stress, anxiety and depression, physical endurance, healthy aging, inflammation and cardiac health.
