Brush Border Enzymes • Digestive Enzymes to Support the End Steps of
Carbohydrate and Protein Digestion
Critical enzymes for the final steps of carbohydrate and protein digestion. Supplementation may be helpful if genetic and other factors have disrupted your small intestine's brush border, causing low activity of these brush border enzymes.
A variety of genetic and acquired factors can disrupt the small intestine brush border, which may result in low activity of brush border enzymes. THER-BIOTIC® SIBB-Zymes™ supplies a blend of enzymes normally found in the small intestinal brush border that are critical for the final steps of carbohydrate and protein digestion. Disaccharide enzymes (lactase, maltase, and sucrase) are supplied together with glucoamylase to assist optimal cleaving of sugars and carbohydrates that if left undigested may affect absorption and microbial fermentation, contributing to a shift in the balance of yeast and bacteria.
THER-BIOTIC® SIBB-Zymes™ includes an active enzyme blend of peptidase and protease with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity. Peptidase and protease enzymes help break down plant and animal proteins, including casein (milk/dairy products), gluten (wheat, rye, oats, barley, and other grains), and soy. Peptidase enzymes that express DPP-IV activity are especially effective in breaking down proline-rich exorphin (opiate-acting) peptides derived from incompletely digested casein, gluten, and soy that may influence central nervous system function in some individuals. THER-BIOTIC® SIBB-Zymes™ can help break down dietary disaccharides and oligosaccharides, including lactose.

SIBB-Zymes™ supplies a blend of digestive enzymes normally found in the small intestinal brush border that are critical for the final steps of carbohydrate and protein digestion. The specific combination and activity of enzymes in this product are intended to support brush border enzyme function and assist the complete breakdown and absorption of casein, gluten, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides.
Enzyme Support for Complete Carbohydrate and Protein Digestion
A variety of different brush border enzymes, each with unique cleaving actions, is required for optimal breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates and protein in the small intestine. Genetic and acquired factors can disturb the small intestinal brush border (SIBB), which may result in low activity of brush border enzymes. SIBB-Zymes™ supplies SIBB enzymes normally found in the small intestine, to help individuals maintain efficient digestive function and support optimal nutrient absorption.
Helps Degrade Dietary Disaccharides and Oligosaccharides, Including Lactose
This advanced digestive enzyme formula provides critical brush border enzyme activity across a broad pH range, including glucoamylase with isomaltase activity and disaccharidases (sucrase/invertase and maltase). These enzymes assist optimal cleaving of sugars and carbohydrates that, if left undigested, may affect absorption and microbial fermentation, contributing to a shift in the balance of yeast and bacteria. Lactase is also provided for digestive support of lactose, as lactase activity typically declines after early childhood and may become absent in certain individuals.
Supplies DPP-IV Activity Specific for Breakdown of Casein, Gluten, and Other Exorphin Peptides
Protein molecules require multiple enzymes for complete digestion. SIBB-Zymes™ includes a high-activity enzyme blend of peptidase and protease with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity to help break down protein molecules into their smallest units to facilitate healthy digestion and efficient absorption. Peptidase and protease enzymes break down plant and animal proteins including casein (milk/dairy products), gluten (wheat, rye, oats, barley, and other grains), and soy. Peptidase enzymes that express DPP-IV activity are especially effective in breaking down proline-rich exorphin (opiate-acting) peptides derived from incompletely digested casein, gluten, and soy that may influence central nervous system function in some individuals.
