PHYTASE SUPPLEMENT

Nutriteck Phytase Enzyme Concentrate

PHYTASE NSP BLEND DESCRIPTION

Function: Promotes digestion, maintains intestinal flora

Phytase NSP Blend is an enzyme blend derived from the fungus Aspergillus niger. Phytase hydrolyzes the phosphate residues from phytic acid. Beta glucanase breaks down beta glucans and hemicellulase hydrolyzes hemicellulose.

 • The product is standardized to:

• 200 Units/gram of Plytase• 100,000 HCU/g of hemicellulase 

• 1,000 BGU/gram of beta gluconase

Recent studies point out that the use of Phytase NSP Blend could have a significant effect on the absorption of divalent cations such as calcium, magnesium and iron. (Phytic acid forms insoluble complexes with cations). By virtue of its chemical nature the negatively charged phytie acid readily hinds to positively charged molecules such as cations and also proteins. Phytic acid is often classified as an "anti-nutritional factor." Plant phytates (phytic acid) is found in many plants such as corn, corn by-products, legumes, soybeans and cereal grains.

By utilizing phytase in a digestive preparation it eliminates the possibility of insoluble complexes being formed and thus increases the adsorption of the cations previously mentioned.

It also hydrolyzes the bound phosphorus groups, which in turn are absorbed along with the Calcium, Iron, Magnesium and Zinc.

The purpose of the addition of beta glucanase and hemicellulase is the fact that the cereal grains mentioned above also contain a high level of non-soluble polysaccharides (NSP). The NSP is mainly in the form of beta glucans, hemicellulose and arabinoxylans. The highly viscous polysaccharides bind to digestive enzymes and impair diffusion to their substrates. The anti-nutritive effect of NSP in cereals results in a depression in the digestibility of all nutrients, Therefore, a supplement blend of phytase, hemicellulase and beta glucanase will have a significant effect on increased digestion.
