Enzymes are an important factor contributing to good health. Getting the greatest advantage out of your diet goes beyond just making wise food choices. If your body cannot properly process the food, you will lose out on important benefits. Enzymes are an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. Found in every living cell, they are key players in many body functions. They are especially important for proper digestion releasing nutrients so the body can absorb and use them. Improper digestion can lead to a variety of problems including food allergies, flatulence, nausea, stomach disorders and bowel problems. Enzymes are also vital to the vast number of chemical reactions involved in breathing, digestion, growth, reproduction, and many other functions. As catalysts, enzymes speed the rate of biochemical reactions.

Reduced enzyme production can lead to health problems. The body produces a number of enzymes naturally but research indicates enzyme production diminishes after age 27. The body’s production can be supplemented through the diet by consuming raw, fresh vegetables and fruits. While these items were a normal part of our diet in years past, this is no longer true. In addition, modern processing destroys most enzymes since they cannot tolerate high heat. Much of our food today no longer provides valuable enzymes for the body’s needs. This decline in natural and dietary enzymes means we must supplement them just as we do vitamins and minerals if we are to avoid or reverse health problems.

Vitalzym provides systemic enzyme therapy increasing enzyme levels throughout the body to help restore good health. Vitalzym is a natural product with no animal products, gluten, yeast, or artificial flavors. The enteric coating protects the enzymes allowing them to survive the harsh acidic stomach environment. Its special formulation allows it to be effective in a wide range of pH readings leading to better absorption.

A closer examination of the ingredients in Vitalzym’s proprietary blend reveals the potential benefits.

Serrapeptase and Protease are both proteolytic enzymes, meaning they help breakdown and digest proteins. In addition to their roles as digestive enzymes, proteolytic enzymes also work as anti-inflammatory and pain relievers. European studies have shown proteolytics help accelerate recovery from injury and exercise. Athletes with injuries experienced a quicker reduction of bruising and healing of tissue injuries. Patients who had undergone facial or reconstructive surgery took proteolytic enzymes and had significantly reduced swelling, bruising, and stiffness.

Serrapeptase is found naturally in silkworms and is used by the worm to dissolve the fibrous cocoon before it emerges. Serrapeptase has anti-inflammatory properties and is particularly valuable for blocking pain. In clinical studies serrapeptase also functioned to prevent swelling and fluid retention. It is also a fibrinolytic, meaning it helps dissolve fibrin, the primary component of blood clots. Serrapeptase has been used by European and Asian physicians for more than 25 years.

Bromelain comes from pineapple and digests protein. Bromelain helps reduce swelling and inflammation so may offer particular benefit to arthritis sufferers as well as those with carpal tunnel syndrome. It also reduces the “stickiness” of platelets offering potential benefit to individuals at risk for heart attacks or strokes.

Papain comes from the papaya and is also a proteolytic enzyme. Papain has been shown to prevent infection in bun wounds and speed wound healing. It also is used to reduce swelling and inflammation.

Amylase enzymes are produced in the body and found in saliva and pancreatic secretions. Amylase digests carbohydrates. They help convert starch to sugar for the body’s energy needs.

Lipase is also a natural digestive system enzyme. Lipase works to break down fats so they can be absorbed and transported through the blood stream.

Amla is a small tree and fruit also known as Indian Gooseberry. It has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for many years. It is extremely high in Vitamin C and is valued for restorative and preventive properties.

Rutin is a flavanoid (a class of elements which give plants their color). Flavanoids contribute to health by strengthening capillaries. In one animal study Rutin stimulated wound healing.

Do not use Vitalzym if you are currently taking anti-coagulant medication. Discontinue use of Vitalzym two weeks prior to surgery.
