Papain is another important digestive
enzyme that is included in NuVet Plus®. Papain is an
efficient enzyme that aids in the digestion of protein.
The digestive enzymes in NuVet Plus® are
important for several reasons. Modern processed pet
food has few active enzymes. Heat processing destroys
them. The digestive enzymes in NuVet Plus® help
replace those found in natural living foods but which are
destroyed by heat processing.
Digestive enzymes help your pet
assimilate the nutrients in NuVet Plus®. They are part
of the synergistic properties of the NuVet Plus® formula;
all ingredients working together to increase each others'
effectiveness.
Digestive enzyme supplementation
becomes increasingly important as our pets age. Older
dogs and cats produce lower quantities of their own natural
digestive enzymes. The digestive enzymes in NuVet
Plus® help the older dog or cat to better digest the
nutrients in their food, easing digestive upset and boosting
their general health.
Papain also helps to cleanse the
tissues and intestinal walls of waste matter in the form of
excessive mucus and dead tissue. It is harmless to
living tissue and is a must for maintenance of health in the
intestinal tract.
This unique ability of papain to break
down protein and convert a portion of it into arginine is
extremely important. Arginine, in its natural form,
has been found to influence the production of HGH (Human
Growth Hormone). HGH is produced in the pituitary
gland and is directly responsible for DNA and RNA
replication as well as synthesis in liver, muscle, cartilage
and adipose tissues. HGH helps to increase muscle tone and
decrease the amount of body fat.
Arginine has also been found to
inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells in test tube
studies. |
