Overview

What is Amylase?

During 4 weeks, 60 participants from 60 to 85 year old took either: either 400 mg/day of either the patented LongVida SLCP curcumin complex of OptimCurcuma (80 mg curcumin) or 400mg of placebo.

The authors reported that the curcumin supplementation significantly improved both acute and chronic cognitive functions, particularly working memory tasks, general fatigue and calmness, compared with placebo.

You can lower the absorption of fat and carbohydrate. Ascophyllum nodosum for example does something like this by inhibiting the enzymes lipase and alpha-amylase. Orlistat inhibits lipase too, don't know if it's OTC where you live. If you take medications or other supplements however, that could mess with their bioavailabilities.

You can act on the gut microbiome, like taking lactobacillus and so on.

I dropped some 15+ kg and have been around 65 kg for about a year now. Never smoked, never drank. I noticed my albumin is high, but that might be due to dehydration (that's what I was hoping anyway). I also take Symbicort (budesonide + formoterol) for (mild) asthma-like symptoms, which I saw might elevate albumin and mess up globulins, too.

Other liver parameters seem to be okay:

  • Bilirubin = 0.8 mg/dL total, 0.2 mg/dL direct
  • GOT/AST = 25 U/L
  • GPT/ALT = 23 U/L
  • GGT = 14 U/L
  • LDH = 257 U/L
  • ALP = 45 U/L

Amylase (for pancreas health) is 78 U/L, which is also within standards."

I agree.

Note however: Opportunistically means a vegan diet. Humans used traps for "hunting" for fresh fish and fresh meat. Humans are not able to eat old fish and old meat like carnivores. There is a reason why it stinks for humans. There is a reason why meat is cooked by humans and spiced with vegan spices for a better taste.

Besides, vitamin C and amylase are not the only indications of a mostly vegan diet of early humans and their ancestors:

Also to answer OP’s original question, if you’re looking for slow-release amino acid support, you would have to take Casein, which is the protein in milk. It takes about 8 hours for the body to digest it so you’ll get a slow release of amino acids in the system.

Oh. I'm 90% sure it's the fermentation. And you already have a fermentation sensitivity...

You may find whole grains, sorghum, 'diabetes' rice or brown rice less bloatable, but might be a good idea to avoid rice, wheat and oats completely. They've been bred for thousands of years to break down and release sugars extremely quickly and white rice has had their fiber coating polished away. The cooking only makes them even easier to break down.

Double whammy for your guts, when it comes to rice.
