Digestive Enzyme Function Mapping

Meaning

Digestive Enzyme Function Mapping is a specialized diagnostic process used to assess the secretory capacity and functional efficiency of the pancreas and the brush border of the small intestine in producing and utilizing key digestive enzymes. This mapping provides a detailed clinical snapshot of the enzymatic breakdown of macronutrients, including proteases, lipases, and amylases, which is vital for optimal nutrient absorption and preventing maldigestion. Impaired function in this area directly compromises Bioavailable Nutrient Status and overall metabolic health.
