BROMELAINE
Bromelain
Bromelain is a natural complex of protein-digesting enzymes (proteases) primarily extracted from the stem of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus), rather than the fruit. It consists mainly of cysteine proteases, enzymes that assist in breaking down proteins into smaller components. Enzyme activity is expressed in GDU (Gelatin Digesting Units) or MCU (Milk Clotting Units).
Bromelain operates within a broad pH range and remains active in the stomach environment.
In Viscozero Bromelain, bromelain is the primary enzyme and contributes to the breakdown of proteins in food. This can support normal digestion, especially after protein-rich meals.
Papain
Papain is an enzyme extracted from the milky sap (latex) of unripe papaya fruits (Carica papaya). Like bromelain, it belongs to the group of cysteine proteases, but it functions in a slightly different manner by cleaving proteins at different points in the chain.
Papain is naturally active across a broad pH range and can therefore also function within the small intestine.
The combination of papain and bromelain provides a broader enzymatic profile, ensuring that proteins are broken down in multiple ways. This synergy is frequently utilized in digestive enzyme supplements.
L-Cystine
L-cystine is a compound consisting of two cysteine molecules linked together by a disulfide bridge. In the body, L-cystine is converted into cysteine, an amino acid involved in various physiological processes.
Cysteine is a building block for glutathione, a substance naturally occurring in the body. Additionally, it plays a role in the structure of keratin, an essential protein for hair and nails.
In Viscozero Bromelain, L-cystine is added as a supplementary nutritional component within the overall protein metabolism.
Vcaps® Plant-Based Capsule
Vcaps® are plant-based capsules made from cellulose (HPMC) and contain no animal ingredients. They are free from gelatin, gluten, and other common allergens.
The capsules dissolve efficiently in the stomach and protect the ingredients from external factors such as moisture and oxygen.
Capsules offer the advantage of requiring no additional additives and are easier to swallow than tablets. This aligns perfectly with the clean-label character of Herstella Naturals.
