DTX500 TRIVIA | Salivary amylase's role in digestion: DTX500 to the rescue against oxidative stress!
Did you know that Salivary amylase, also known as ptyalin, is an enzyme produced by the salivary glands in the mouth? Salivary amylase is necessary in the initial stages of digestion by breaking down complex carbohydrates, like starches and glycogen, into simpler sugars such as maltose and dextrin. Its function is essential for the efficient digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the body.
Meanwhile, oxidative stress can cause salivary amylase to be damaged and its enzymatic activity to be disrupted. When there is an imbalance between the creation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's ability to neutralize them, oxidative stress ensues. When salivary amylase is subjected to oxidative stress, its structural and functional integrity can be jeopardized, resulting in a decrease in its capacity to effectively break down carbs. This can have an effect on the whole digestion process and lead to glucose metabolism difficulties.
Worry not because the DTX500 is to the rescue! It can aid the damage caused by oxidative stress to salivary amylase by neutralizing harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals. Salivary amylase, like other proteins, can be vulnerable to oxidative stress-induced damage, which can affect its structure and function. DTX500 is rich in flavonoids, phenolic compounds and many other phytochemicals that help by donating electrons to free radicals making them stable enough and spare the sorrouding cellular structures including enzymes
By reducing the oxidative stress, DTX500 can support the maintenance of salivary amylase's structural and functional integrity. This, in turn, ensures that the enzyme can efficiently break down carbohydrates, aiding in the initial stages of digestion and overall digestive health.
