Lipase

Lipase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down lipids (fats), in particular triglycerides, which are fatty substances in your body that come from fat in the diet. Once broken down into smaller components, fatty acid and glycerol molecules they are more easily absorbed in the intestines. The fatty acids and glycerol molecules are taken up by the cells of your intestines. In the adipose tissues triglycerides are re-formed for storage until your body needs them for energy under conditions of increased stress or exercise. Lipase inside adipose tissue cells break down the triglycerides so that fatty acids can re-enter the bloodstream for transport to energy-requiring tissues.

Triglycerides can be poorly digested by humans and without sufficient enzymes, some fats can cause digestive upset and distress. Fats are very important for life and good health. Remember numerous body systems require Omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are fats to function properly.

Since we require a constant supply of fatty acids for good health, supplementing with a high quality, clinically proven digestive enzyme product, like Fiberrific +enzymes, that contains lipase enzymes is not only necessary, but also vital for all healthy cells.
