Lipolytic

Lipase RO

A triacylglycerol acylhydrolase sourced from Rhizopus oryzae. It exhibits activity toward both medium- and long-chain triglycerides, cleaving their ester bonds to release free fatty acids and glycerol. This enzymatic process facilitates the efficient digestion and absorption of dietary fats from a wide range of food sources.*

BIOCHEMICAL ROLE IN DIGESTION

Lipase RO is another microbial-derived enzyme with triglyceride-hydrolyzing capability, particularly efficient with long-chain fatty acids. It acts on ester linkages in dietary lipids, promoting the conversion of complex fats into simpler forms readily incorporated into micelles. This function is indispensable for the absorption of structurally diverse fats, including those from dairy and animal products.*

NUTRITIONAL RELEVANCE IN SUPPLEMENTATION

Supplemental Lipase RO supports digestion of challenging fat sources, aiding individuals with reduced pancreatic enzyme secretion or those consuming high-fat meals. It contributes to improved nutrient bioavailability, particularly for fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. Its inclusion in supplements can enhance gastrointestinal comfort, energy yield from fats, and overall digestive efficiency in populations prone to lipid malabsorption.*
