Plant fiber is an irreplaceable and important nutritional element for the human body. Our daily intake of fruit and vegetable foods such as bamboo shoots, lettuce, and green leafy vegetables contain a large amount of plant fiber. Plant fiber is mainly composed of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. Of these, hemicellulose is an important plant polysaccharide that plays a vital role in supporting digestive health and overall wellness. We are excited to announce the addition of hemicellulose as a new ingredient in Nutri-Echo Wellness' gut health supplements. Keep reading to learn about how our hemicellulase ingredient can support your digestive health.

Hemicellulase and Digestive Health

Hemicelluloses are polymerized heteropolysaccharide molecules that make up about 15-19% of the polysaccharides in the cell wall of fruits and vegetables. They can be very complex molecules and consist of many types of sugars. Based on the composition of the polymer structure, hemicelluloses are classifed as xylans, mannans, arabinans, xyloglucans, arabinoxylans, glucomannans, and arabinogalactans. Derived from plant cell walls, hemicellulose is a prebiotic fiber, which means it is food for the beneficial bacteria in the gut. By nourishing these beneficial bacteria, hemicellulose helps maintain a healthy balance in the gut microbiota, which is essential for proper digestion and optimal nutrient absorption.

Hemicellulase and Its Health Benefits

Hemicellulases are part of a group of enzymes efcient in the hydrolysis of polysaccharides classifed as hemicelluloses. Due to the complexity and heterogeneity of its structure, the complete degradation of hemicellulose requires the action of several hemicellulases, including xylanase, glucuronidase, mannanase, beta glucanase, arabinase, and acetyl-xylanesterase. After the synergistic action of these enzymes, hemicellulose can be effectively broken down into small molecule polysaccharides or monosaccharides.

As one of the active ingredients in our Nutri-Echo Pro-Digestive Enzymes product, hemicellulase helps to improve the digestion and absorption of dietary fiber, which is often difficult for the body to break down on its own. By breaking down hemicellulose, this enzyme aids in the breakdown of plant foods such as vegetables, fruits, and grains, thereby providing better nutrition and minimizing digestive discomfort.

There are several key health benefits associated with hemicellulase as a digestive supplement ingredient:

Improved digestion

Hemicellulase helps to break down hemicellulose, enhancing the digestion and utilization of dietary fiber. This can prevent bloating, gas, and other digestive issues commonly associated with high-fiber diets.

Enhanced nutrient absorption

By breaking down plant cell walls, hemicellulase improves the availability of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This can lead to enhanced nutrient absorption and overall better health.

Promote the colonization of beneficial intestinal bacteria

Appropriate supplementation of hemicellulose content will be more effective in stimulating intestinal motility. The products after fermentation can improve intestinal health by stimulating the growth of probiotics, promoting digestion and regulating immune function.

Increased fiber intake

Many people struggle to consume an adequate amount of dietary fiber, which is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system. Supplementing with hemicellulase can help individuals increase their fiber intake and enjoy the associated health benefits.

Reduced blood lipids and cholesterol

Dietary fiber can effectively absorb fat in the intestines and form fat fiber complexes that are excreted with feces, lowering blood lipid levels. Dietary fiber in the intestinal tract to absorb water on the intestinal contents of the dilution effect, thereby reducing the body cholesterol.

Weight management

Dietary fiber expands 200-250 times when exposed to water, which both gives a corresponding feeling of fullness and reduces the absorption of too many calories. Therefore, hemicellulase intake is very safe and effective for clients who need weight management.
