Similase® Sensitive Stomach by Integrative Therapeutics® – Gentle Digestive Support
Similase Sensitive Stomach by Integrative Therapeutics is a clinician-developed digestive enzyme supplement formulated for adults who want gentle support for digestion and the gastrointestinal tract. It combines microbial enzymes with soothing botanical ingredients, including slippery elm, marshmallow root, deglycyrrhizinated licorice, and gamma-oryzanol.
Unlike many broad-spectrum enzyme formulas, this sensitive stomach supplement omits protease because of its potential to irritate sensitive individuals. The combination supports the digestion of carbohydrates, plant fibers, and dietary fats while helping maintain the normal protective environment of the stomach and intestinal lining.
Key Similase Sensitive Stomach Benefits
- Provides gentle digestive support for adults with sensitive gastrointestinal systems.
- Supports the normal digestion of carbohydrates, plant fibers, and dietary fats.
- Includes soothing herbs that help maintain a comfortable gastrointestinal environment.
- Provides stomach lining support with slippery elm, marshmallow, DGL, and gamma-oryzanol.
- Omits protease for a gentler approach to daily enzyme supplementation.
How Similase Sensitive Stomach Works
Similase Sensitive Stomach combines targeted microbial digestive enzymes with herbs traditionally valued for their soothing, demulcent properties. Amylase assists with the normal breakdown of dietary carbohydrates, cellulase supports the digestion of cellulose and other plant fibers, and lipase helps the body process dietary fats. These enzymes are measured using recognized activity units that describe how effectively they work under specific conditions.
The botanical portion of the formula complements enzyme activity by supporting the gastrointestinal lining. Slippery elm and marshmallow root contain naturally occurring mucilaginous compounds that help coat and soothe sensitive tissues. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice provides gastric mucosa support without the naturally occurring glycyrrhizin found in standard licorice preparations. Gamma-oryzanol, derived from rice bran, rounds out the formula by supporting digestive comfort and a balanced stomach environment.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Amylase, Cellulase II, and Lipase II: Support the normal digestion of carbohydrates, plant fibers, and fats consumed with meals.
- Slippery Elm: Provides soothing botanical support for sensitive gastrointestinal tissues.
- Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice: Helps maintain the normal protective function of the gastric lining.
- Gamma-Oryzanol: A rice bran compound included to complement the formula’s digestive comfort support.
- Marshmallow Root Extract: Supplies demulcent plant compounds that support a comfortable digestive environment.
The formula is made without dairy, added colors, or artificial flavors. Its protease-free design may be particularly useful for individuals seeking a focused enzyme formula for sensitive digestion rather than a comprehensive enzyme blend containing protein-digesting enzymes.
Similase Sensitive Stomach Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking gentle digestive enzyme support at the beginning of meals.
- Individuals who prefer a protease-free digestive formula.
- People looking for enzymes paired with soothing gastrointestinal herbs.
- Adults who want support for carbohydrate, plant-fiber, and fat digestion.
