Mechanism of Action
1
Digestive Function: Alpha-Amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates (starch and glycogen) into simpler sugars such as maltose and glucose, facilitating efficient digestion and nutrient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract
2
Metabolic Regulation: By controlling the rate of carbohydrate breakdown, Alpha-Amylase helps regulate blood glucose levels and supports overall energy metabolism.
3
Contribution to Oral and Salivary Health: Plays a role in the initial stages of digestion in the mouth, aiding saliva function and maintaining oral enzymatic balance.
