ABOUT
ENZYMES
What are enzymes?
Enzymes are protein chemicals, which carry a vital energy factor needed
for every chemical action, and reaction that occurs in our body.
There are approximately 1300 different enzymes found in the human cell.
These enzymes can combine with coenzymes to form nearly 100,000 various
chemicals that enable us to see, hear, feel, move, digest food, and
think. Every organ, every tissue, and all the 100 trillion cells in our
body depend upon the reactions of metabolic enzymes and their energy
factor. Nutrition cannot be explained without describing the part that
enzymes play.
Why Enzymedica?
Enzymedica started as a therapeutic enzyme company. The company grew
with the ongoing research into how supplementing enzymes into the diet
can help us in digestion and metabolic functions.
Enzymedica's entire focus
and purpose is enzymes.
They are the enzyme experts.
Why is Enzymedica unique?
Enzymedica uses an exclusive Thera-blend process for its protease,
lipase, amylase and cellulase. This means that each of these enzymes
actually represents multiple blends. For example, there are actually
three proteases in the Thera-blend protease. They are blended for their
ability to break down numerous bonds of protein in varying pH’s.
Enzymedica does this at a considerable expense. From a label
description Enzymedica also sacrifices active units to provide the best
blend possible. A single protease, for example, could produce more
active units per milligram than a multiple protease blend, however the
active pH would be narrow and the number of protein bonds it could
break would be limited to one or two per molecule.

A History of Enzymes in the American health industry...
Why
haven't
we heard about enzymes until now?
Research has been done on plant and animal enzymes since the 1930s with
Dr. Wolfe in Germany and Dr. Howell in the United States. Dr. Howell's
classic Food Enzymes for Health & Longevity has been around
since then, but was too technical to be understood by the average
person. Pharmaceutical companies, meanwhile, placed
all their focus on vitamins and minerals.
Even with all this information,
enzyme education in America did not begin until the mid 1980s. Enzyme
supplementation has become an accepted health care alternative because
research has proven:
- Enzyme supplements are not destroyed by stomach acid. (It was thought
and taught that enzyme supplements could not be useful because they
were destroyed in the hostile environment of the stomach).
- Anyone who eats cooked or processed food requires supplementation to
assist digestion. So far as science has been able to discover, the only
function any vitamin has is the role it plays in supporting enzymes.
- Vitamins and minerals are coenzymes meaning they require an enzyme to
work.
In the late 1980s, Humbart Santillo, MH, N.D. wrote the practical and
concise guide to enzymes that explained Howell's concepts clearly:
Food Enzymes
The Missing Link to Radiant Health
Fortunately, the word on enzymes is spreading....
A good friend of mine, Victorus Kulvinskas, became a world famous
author with SURVIVAL INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. Together with Ann Whigmore,
the "Grandmother of Wheat Grass Therapy", they wrote an compact but
important book: DON'T DINE WITHOUT ENZYMES (currently not in
print). Victorus was instrumental in getting many of the Blue Green
Algae companies to create alternative formulas by adding enzymes to
Blue Green algae.

Finally in this 21st
century, people are finding the crucial roles that enzymes (and
probiotics for that matter) are playing in helping people to attain
abundant health. We promote good enyzmes and good
probiotics here in our health food store in Columbus, Ohio.

ACID SOOTHE™
Replaces Antacids
30 caps - ENZ29
90 caps - ENZ07
This product helps
alleviate conditions associated with gastrointestinal distress!
• Heartburn
• Diarrhea
• Acid Reflux
• Digestive discomfort
• Indigestion
The ingredients in Acid Soothe™
provide the body with pure plant enzymes for delivery along with
nutrients specific to the gastrointestinal region.
Marshmallow Root has a high protein
and mucilage-carbohydrate content which the body can use to manufacture
the necessary materials for new tissue production. Marshmallow also has
mucilaginous (adhesive) properties enabling it to surround and expel
foreign and toxic matter, having a soothing effect on the inflamed
mucosal membrane tissue. Marshmallow has been found to relieve
irritation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory and
gastrointestinal tracts and to help normalize mucous secretions. In
conditions where inflammation is induced by excess accumulation of uric
acid. Marshmallow Root helps remove this acid from the body.
Papaya Leaf has been known for its
wonderful digestive work and contains proteolytic (acts on protein)
enzymes. Papaya Leaf has inherited the reputation of ''biological
scalpel" because it selectively digests dead tissue without affecting
the surrounding live tissue. It has been used to treat wounds and
ulcers. Papaya Leaf has properties to protect the stomach mucosa from
damage and ulcer formation.
Prickly Ash is known for its
support of the glands and aid in tissue repair, colic, ulcers and
gastrointestinal distress. Prickly Ash will fortify the nervous system
as well.
Gota Kola is known in India as a
longevity herb, it is uncommonly rich in B vitamins and potassium and
is used as a natural diuretic.

when DIGEST™ or Digest Gold™ is used at the beginning of the meal.
Take 2 or more Acid Soothe™ capsules
anytime as needed for digestive discomfort.
ALLERASE™
ENZ05 - 60 caps
Allerase was formulated to be taken on
an empty stomach for relief of symptoms often associated with pollen
and dander sensitivities. It contains the highest amount of Thera-Blend
Amylase.
Allerase can be taken between meals
for therapeutic effect to support those individuals who suspect they
are amylase deficient. Common symptoms include but are not limited to
sinus congestion, itchy watery eyes, fatigue, blood sugar imbalance or
frequent headaches.
Allergies:
In many cases allergens such as
pollen, cigarette smoke, pet dander and other histamine inducing
substances cause an immune system response, i.e. the creation of
histamine. Histamine production is a reaction by the body to a
perceived pathogen with the symptoms of watery, itchy eyes, runny nose,
coughing etc in an effort to expel said pathogen. Amylase taken
therapeutically on an empty stomach may relieve a person of such
symptoms.
Sugar Imbalance,
Sugar Intolerance:
Fatigue, anxiety and headaches are all
byproducts of the body’s inability to utilize the amount of sugar being
consumed. The enzyme amylase works well in breaking down sugar into
usable forms. Allerase when taken therapeutically can help an
individual control sugar cravings by raising blood sugar levels.
Nutritional Information:
Amylase Thera-blend
Glucoamylase
Invertase
Suggested Use:
Take 1 capsule on an empty stomach 2 to 3 times per day (30 minutes
before or 2 hours after a meal). More may be taken if necessary.
Contraindications:
Allerase is not recommended for diabetics who are medicated. The amount
of Amylase can elevate blood sugars. Digest is a more balancing formula
for these individuals. Diabetics who are able to control their symptoms
through diet (type II) will be fine on Allerase.
CANDIDASE™
for Yeast Overgrowth
with High Potency Cellulase and Protease Enzymes

ENZ16 - 42 caps
ENZ33 - 84 caps
The combination of Cellulase and
Protease enzymes was formulated to manage yeast overgrowth. This
product contain(s)s the highest amount of cellulase enzymes than any
Enzymedica product.
New allergies to foods, fatigue,
poor digestion, gas, heartburn, sugar cravings, irritability, frequent
headaches, poor memory, "fogged in" feeling, dizziness, recurring
depression, vaginal infections, menstrual difficulties, prostatitis,
urinary tract infections, hay fever, postnasal drip, habitual coughing,

cold extremities, arthritis-like symptoms.
Candida albicans is a yeast-like
fungus that normally lives in healthy balance in the body. It is found
mostly in the intestines, genital tract, mouth, and throat. When the
balance is upset, infection results. This is known as Candidiasis and
the fungus travels to all parts of the body through the bloodstream. It
affects both men and woman.
Candida in the mouth is
called thrush.
Candida in the vagina is called
vaginitis (yeast infection).
Three Reasons Why Enzymes May Help With Candida
Yeast Overgrowth:
* In individuals
with yeast overgrowth there is often a large amount of undigested fiber
in the large intestine. It is believed that the mucous that the body
naturally produces due to the difficulty of digesting this fiber
(cellulose) may protect the yeast overgrowth from our body’s natural
overgrowth prevention mechanisms.
Cellulase is the enzyme that breaks down fiber. It is also the only
digestive enzyme our body does not make. By adding cellulase to the
diet this fiber can be removed along with the mucous and our body is
able to achieve balance.
* Fungi is a
group of organisms formerly regarded as plants lacking chlorophyll.
They can either exist as single cells or make up a multi-cellular body
called a mycelium, which consists of filaments known as hyphae. The
cell contains some fungal cellulose or a compound called chitin. Chitin
is a polysaccharide, or carbohydrate, which is structurally very
similar to cellulose. For the same reasons cellulase may help remove
undigested fiber in the colon, it has been used in breaking down this
“cellulose-like” chitin.*
* The inside of
the cell of yeast is mostly protein. The enzyme protease has the
ability to hydrolyze (digest) protein. Protease has been used in
clinics all over the world to break down this fungus and prevent its
overgrowth. The addition of protease to this formula helps prevent
"die-off".
Nutritional Information:
Cellulase Thera-blend
Protease Thera-blend
This product contains no fillers.
Suggested Use:
Take Candidase™ for moderate symptoms of yeast overgrowth take 2
capsules, 3 times a day at least ½ hour before or 2 hours after
a meal for 7 days (for maintenance 2 a day).
Contraindications:
Candidase™ should not be
taken with timed release medications that use cellulose as its timed
release mechanism.
LACTO™
Lactase Enzyme
Supplement for Lactose Intolerance

ENZ28 - 30 caps
This product contains a high
potency lactase along with eight additional enzymes.This lactase enzyme
supplement, is formulated for individuals who have difficulty digesting
foods that contain Lactose and dairy protein.
Between 30 and 50 million Americans
are lactose intolerant.
Lactose intolerance is a condition
caused by a lack of an enzyme called lactase. Certain ethnic and racial
populations are more widely affected than others. As many as 75 percent
of all African Americans and American Indians and 90 percent of Asian
Americans are lactose intolerant. The condition is least common among
persons of northern European descent.
Lactase is the enzyme in the small
intestine that digests lactose (a dairy protein). Normally, lactase
breaks lactose down into a form that can be easily absorbed by the
blood. When there is not enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose
consumed, water is retained in the bowel, which, results in bloating
and diarrhea. Lactose that passes into the large intestine is fermented
by bacteria. This produces carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane. This
may lead to bloating, cramping and gas.
Lactose Intolerance Indications
Symptoms include cramps, gas and
diarrhea. They usually occur 30 minutes to two hours after ingesting
lactose containing foods. The severity of symptoms usually depends on
the amount of lactose ingested and how much of the enzyme, lactase,
remains in the intestinal tract.
Supplementation of lactase allows
for lactose to be more readily digestible and absorbed. By taking Lacto
with meals that contain lactose, you are providing your body with the
enzymes needed for proper digestion of not only
dairy protein (lactose) but fats,
carbohydrates, meat protein and fiber.

dairy, Digest™ or Digest Gold™ is recommended to support proper
digestion and assimilation.
LYPO™
Highest Potency of
Lipase Enzymes

ENZ17 - 90 caps
ENZ06 - 180 caps
This product was formulated to aid in
the proper digestion of fats. It is for the fat digestion and
metabolism, as well as the health of the cardiovascular system.
• Cholesterol support
• Improved fat digestion
• Fat digestion and metabolism
• Triglyceride balancing
• Balancing essential fatty acids
Break Down Fats
It is a proven fact the enzyme
lipase breaks down (digests) fat. When added to your meal as a
supplement it is able to do this in the digestive tract. This takes
stress off the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas. When taken between
meals, it will be stored in the liver and called upon as needed. Lipase
is present in all of the Enzymedica Enzyme Fortifiers.
The pancreas produces about a liter
and a half of digestive juices per day in an array of enzymes
(protease, amylase, cellulase, lactase and lipase). Lipase is the
enzyme designed to digest fats. With advancing age the body produces
less and less digestive juice, about 13% less per decade of life.
For these same reasons, fat
blockers such as Olean and Elestra are undesirable. They keep fat from
being absorbed, but they also keep fatty nutrients from being
available. Under-nutrition occurs in about half of the patients with
chronic heart failure.
Fats are a major source of fuel for
the heart muscle. The use of lipase has been suggested to improve fat
absorption (Am J cardiology 8: 43, 1963). It was not until 1997 that
researchers found that lipase also can help to control LDL cholesterol
and is helpful in stubborn cases of high triglycerides. (Lipids 32:
1147, 1997).
Lipase Deficiency
Since lipase digests
fat, fat-soluble vitamins and balances fatty acids, lipase deficient
people can be expected to have a tendency towards high cholesterol,
high triglycerides and difficulty losing weight. Lipase deficient
people also have decreased cell permeability, meaning nutrients cannot
get in and the waste cannot get out.

MUCOSTOP™
Mucolytic and
Proteolytic Enzymes
ENZ30 - 12 caps
ENZ10 - 48 caps
Contains a blend of
enzymes formulated to break down mucous and reduce histamine.
The active ingredient is a potent
mucolytic enzyme which has been studied for its effectiveness at
reducing mucus and is combined with proteases and amylases blended to
assist in overcoming the symptoms often associated with sinus and chest
congestion.
Mucous is defined as the clear viscid secretion of the mucous
membranes, consisting of mucin, epithelial cells and leukocytes.
Enzymes classified as proteolytic (breaks down protein) and mucolytic
(breaks down mucous) are beneficial at breaking down mucous.
Proteolytic enzymes are enzymes
that break down proteins. Not all proteases, however, can break down
all proteins. For example, a protease that is an effective
digester of food protein will not be a good protease for mucous
protein. The mucous protein requires an enzyme classified as
proteolytic and mucolytic (breaks down mucous). Seaprose stands alone
in this category.
Seaprose
Seaprose has at
least six separate studies to support the effect it has on individuals
with bronchial and sinus mucous as well as inflammatory issues. In one
study it stated: "Eight days after the end of treatment with seaprose,
there was still a significant beneficial effect on the viscoelasticity
of mucous and a sort of "post-mucolytic effect" can be postulated.

NATTO-K™
Enzyme Nattokinase
ENZ18 - 30 caps
ENZ19 - 90 caps
A proprietary blend containing the
enzyme Nattokinase NSK-SD, which has been shown to have a high
fibrinolytic activity (breaks down fibrin) and antioxidant activity.
Nattokinase breaks down Fibrin.
Fibrin is a protein that forms in the blood after trauma or injury.
This is essential to stop excess blood loss but excess fibrin has been
shown to contribute to cardiovascular issues, poor circulation and slow
tissue repair. There are more than twenty enzymes in the body that
assist in clotting the blood, while only one that can break the clot
down (plasmin).
Bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins
present in the blood also trigger an inflammatory condition resulting
in excess cross-linked Fibrin. Since there is no danger of blood loss
and trauma has not occurred, this cross-linked fibrin will circulate
through the blood and will stick to the walls of blood vessels.
Discovery of Thrombolytic Enzymes
Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi, M.D. (a.k.a, Dr.
Natto) a researcher of the Japan Ministry of Education and majoring in
the physiological chemistry at the blood laboratory of the University
of Chicago, had long researched thrombolytic enzymes. He was searching
for a natural agent that could successfully dissolve thrombus
associated with cardiac and cerebral infarction (blood clots associated
with heart attacks and stroke).
Nattokinase Proof: Blood Plasma Tests
Nattokinase has been the subject of
17 studies, including two small human trials. Researchers from JCR
Pharmaceuticals, Oklahoma State University, and Miyazaki Medical
College tested nattokinase on 12 healthy Japanese volunteers (6 men and
6 women, between the ages of 21 and 55).
They gave the volunteers 200 grams
of natto (the food) before breakfast, then tracked fibrinolytic
activity through a series of blood plasma tests.
The tests indicated that the natto
generated a heightened ability to support circulation. On average, the
volunteers'' ELT (a measure of how long it takes to dissolve a blood
clot) dropped by 48 percent within two hours of treatment. An
additional study showed a 11% decrease in blood pressure after just two
weeks. 1,2,3

pH-BASIC™
ENZ02 - 60 caps
(includes pH testing strips)
Specifically
designed to raise alkalinity.
Each bottle of pH-Basic™ contains pH test strips to help determine the
effectiveness of the product. It contains a synergistic blend of
minerals, enzymes, super-foods and herbs. It can be taken for
maintenance or therapeutically to elevate your body's pH if you are
finding it difficult to make an impact through diet. It also serves to
enhance the efficiency of enzymes in the body (digestive and metabolic).
As a result of acid forming foods,
high fat, mucous forming foods, and toxic food residues, the body
becomes too acidic. The human body should be slightly alkaline in order
to build an alkaline reserve for acid-forming conditions such as
stress, lack of exercise, or poor dietary habits.
What is pH?
The term pH stands for "potential"
of "Hydrogen". It is the amount of hydrogen ions in a particular
solution. The more ions, the more acid the solution. The fewer ions the
more alkaline (base) the solution.
pH is measured on a scale of 0 to
14 with seven being neutral. The lower the pH number the more acidic it
is and the higher the number the more alkaline. For example, a pH of 3
is more acidic than a pH of 5 and a pH of 9 is more alkaline than a pH
of 6.
As humans, a normal pH of all
tissues and fluids of the body (except the stomach) is slightly
alkaline. The most critical pH is in the blood. All other organs and
fluids will fluctuate in their range in order to keep the blood a
strict pH between 7.35 and 7.45 (slightly alkaline). This process is
called homeostasis. The body makes constant adjustments in tissue and
fluid pH to maintain this very narrow pH range in the blood.
To be too acidic in the body can
have far reaching consequences. For example, if the blood becomes too
acidic the body will balance the pH at all costs. This can lead to
common symptoms which include but are not limited to heart burn, acid
reflux, indigestion, weight gain, difficulty losing weight, poor
metabolism, mineral deficiencies, constipation, fatigue, brain fog,
frequent urination, hormonal imbalances, sore muscles and the list goes
on.
Similar problems may occur if we
become too alkaline, though this is much less likely. Obviously,
maintaining the proper pH in the blood, digestive tract, tissues and
fluids is essential in supporting optimal health.
Balance pH with Enzymes and Minerals:
Component Benefits
When Enzymedica first tried to
balance pH with enzymes and minerals, success was temporary. Though
short term success was possible with ingredients like coral calcium, it
could not be sustained. It has taken two years of research and "trial
and error" to come up with what we feel is the most effective
alkalinizing supplement on the market for some of the following reasons.

PRO-BIO™
ENZ08 - 30 caps
Pro-Bio has been formulated to
support healthy intestinal microflora balance. The probiotics chosen
for Pro-Bio have a history of beneficial use and are manufactured in a
way that guarantees potency at room temperature for twelve months.*
Features / Benefits:
* Enteric coated to bypass and survive
the stomach
* Shelf stable - no need for
refrigeration
* 5 Billion CFU (8 strains higher
potency) - more effective
* Only 1 capsule a day dose!
Pro-Bio contains 8 species of
beneficial bacteria. Each capsule contains 5 Billion micro-organisms,
which are guaranteed shelf stable for 12 months at room temperature or
24 months refrigerated. Pro-Bio is enteric coated to bypass and survive
the acid environment of the stomach.*
The condition and function of the
gastrointestinal tract is essential to our well being. This condition
is highly dependent on the presence of intestinal microflora
(bacteria). The beneficial microflora protects against the overgrowth
of already present, potentially pathogenic organisms. Additionally,
they produce enzymes (lactase, protease, and amylase) to complete
digestion and are synergistic with enzymes in supporting the immune
system. Probiotics are instrumental in protecting the host from
invading bacteria and viruses. (note: Enzymes eventually “wear out” but
probiotics live, colonize and create more enzymes.)*
Administration of antibiotics is
the most common cause of disruption of the balance and leads to
decreased resistance to colonization and to alterations in the
metabolic activities of the intestinal flora. The use of probiotics may
be the most natural, safe and common sense approach for keeping the
balance of the intestinal ecosystem.*
Benefits of Bacillus Subtillis:
This bacterium is the source of
Nattokinase, the enzyme discovered to support cardiovascular health and
balance blood viscosity. It is one of the most studied strains in the
world and has been shown to normalize intestinal microflora balance.*
Benefits of F19:
F19 is a member of the Lactobacillus
acidophilus paracasei species. It is well tolerated by infants, adults,
and the elderly, adheres to the colon and persists in the GI tract. It
has also been shown to increase Lactic Acid Bacteria in the
GI-Microflora after 8 weeks of consumption.*
The remaining strains are fairly
common in probiotic formulations. They have been shown to promote a
healthy microflora balance in the intestinal tract, improve immune
function, assist digestion, remove toxins and manufacture enzymes and
vitamins.*

REPAIR™
Protease Supplement
with High Potency Proteolytic Enzymes
ENZ20 - 60 caps
This product contains the highest
amount of proteolytic enzymes that have exhibited qualities that reduce
discomfort, speed recovery, and increase circulation
Proteolytic Enzymes
Increase Circulation and Speed Recovery
Capillary Blood Flow - These small
blood vessels are responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the
cells and removing waste. After an injury some of these capillaries may
be damaged, making them incapable of carrying fluid to and from the
damaged tissue. The result is pain, swelling, redness, heat and loss of
function. By repairing the capillaries, the bruises, swelling and pain
disappear.
Proteolytic enzymes (enzymes that
have the ability to break down protein) have been shown to reduce the
amount of fibrin in the damaged capillary, improve circulation and
speed recovery. Once in the blood stream proteolytic enzymes hydrolyze
(digest) the fibrin network and enhance blood flow. Additionally, these
same proteases have been known to stimulate phagocytes (cells that
ingest foreign particles and debris) and accelerate elimination by way
of the lymphatic system.
Protease Enzymes Supplement Studies
In a recent study, runners were
given protease supplements or a placebo four times a day for three
days. This consisted of 24 hours before and 48 hours after running. The
participants were evaluated for mood, muscle soreness and pain
threshold 24 and 48 hours after running 30 minutes at about 7 miles per
hour.
The result was a decrease in
soreness, improved pain threshold and no mood change with those taking
the proteolytic enzymes supplements over the group who took the
placebo. This is not new.
According to some sports medicine
reports, there is scarcely a top athlete in Germany who is not familiar
with enzyme therapy. Additionally, in Australia, athletes are provided
with enzyme capsules as a precaution to aid in rapid recovery after
injury. Dr. Sumi found that the sticky part of natto, commonly called
"threads", exhibited a strong fibrinolytic ("blood clot busting")
activity. He named the corresponding fibrinolytic enzyme "nattokinase".
Dr. Sumi commented that nattokinase showed "a potency matched by no
other enzyme."

V-GEST™
High Potency Amylase
Digestive Enzymes
ENZ09 - 60 caps
ENZ34 - 90 caps
V-gest is formulated with high
quality amylase digestive enzymes to aid in the proper digestion of
carbohydrates, protein, fats and dairy products.
V-gest is ideal for vegetarians or anyone
exhibiting amylase deficiency.
Amylase Digestive Enzymes that
Break Down Carbohydrates V-gest contains four different types of
enzymes that break down carbohydrates found in grains, seeds, legumes,
vegetables and other plants. These enzymes stop gas, flatulence,
bloating and discomfort from: Beans, broccoli, cabbage, onion, peppers,
soy products, whole grain cereals, seeds and more.
Certain foods produce more gas than
others because they contain more indigestible carbohydrates (fiber).
The enzyme primarily responsible for breaking these types of
carbohydrates down is known as alpha-galactosidase. V-gest contains
more of this enzyme than any other Enzymedica product.
Nutritional Information:
Amylase Thera-blend
Alpha-Galactosidase
Cellulase
Glucoamylase
Protease Thera-blend
Maltase
Invertase
Lactase
Lipase Thera-blend
Pectinase with Phytase
Hemicellulase
Xylanase
This product contain no fillers.
Suggested Use:
One capsule with meals. V-gest™ works best when combined with Digest™.
For issues associated with Amylase deficiency take 1 between meals 3
times a day.
VIRASTOP™
Protease Enzyme
ENZ32 - 60 caps
Helps digest protein
and supports immune function.
Protease is able to dissolve almost
all proteins as long as they are not components of living cells.
Viruses are cell parasites consisting of nucleic acids covered by a
protein film. Parasites, fungal forms and bacteria are made up of
protein. Virastop contains eight different proteases which can break
down undigested protein, cellular debris, and toxins in the blood,
sparing the immune system this task. The immune system can then
concentrate its full action on the invasion.
Protease Enzyme Supplement
Virastop™ recommended usage provides you with 150,000 units of
activity. This formulation is used to optimize the amount of protease
absorbed into the bloodstream to break down the protein invaders which
are not part of the natural body. The results of Virastop™ have been
seen in the blood within ten minutes after ingestion whether there was
food in the stomach or not.
Virastop™ may also be taken with
DIGEST™ or DIGEST GOLD™ at a meal if animal protein is eaten. DIGEST™
contains a large amount of protease however, if protein digestive
problems are present and red meat remains in the diet, the following
may be a safeguard to do no further harm. Take 2 Virastop™ capsules
with 3 DIGEST™ or 1 DIGEST GOLD™. Virastop™ is also good for chronic
constipation.
The Virastop™ formulation is based
on the needs of the individual and not on the individual's size or
weight. Children may safely take Virastop™. It can be taken out of the
capsule and mixed with liquid for easier ingestion.
Oral proteases taken on an empty
stomach have been shown to be absorbed and carried into the blood
stream where they are bound to alpha 2-macroglobulin.
Several studies have indicated that
oral proteases bound to the macroglobulins hydrolyze immune complexes,
proteinaceous debris, damaged proteins, and acute phase plasma proteins
in the blood stream.
It is suggested that oral proteases
may help hydrolyze and remove extracellular proteins damaged by free
radicals. This is based on the absorbability of the protease into the
circulatory system, their hydrolytic activity and ability to remove
proteinaceous debris in blood and extracellular fluid, and their
susceptibility due to their unfolding and other conformational
modifications from their native state.
Nutritional Information:
Protease Thera-blend
Seaprose Blend
Catalase
Serratiopeptidase
Nattokinase NSK-SD Blend
Mineral Blend
This product contains no fillers.
Suggested Use:
If at anytime you feel discomfort, take 2 capsules of ACID SOOTHE™. For
support, continue to take ACID SOOTHE™ with your Virastop™ or DIGEST™
with meals and when needed.
For maintenance, take one capsule two times a day, one hour before or
two hours after a meal (empty stomach). For Therapeutic effect Virastop
should be taken three to four times a day. More may be taken if needed.
