Amylase

Salivary amylase begins the digestion of dietary starches, reducing fermentable residues that oral bacteria could use to form acids and contribute to decay. It plays a supporting role in maintaining oral hygiene and comfortable mouthfeel. For product comparison, Amylase should be checked by exact form, plant part or compound type, standardization, amount per serving, and whether it is listed as an active ingredient, other ingredient, or part of a blend. Useful database notes include what it is used for, where it occurs naturally or how it is commonly sourced, and what shoppers should verify on the Supplement Facts label.
