Inf-Zyme
Forte is a specific combination of digestive and anti-inflammatory
enzymes, with antioxidants and metabolic
cofactors. When taken with meals (or within one hour after),
its digestive enzymes aid the small intestines' role in
digesting proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Their actions
help maintain intestinal health and minimize food intolerance.
When taken between meals, the constituents of Inf-Zyme Forte
act synergistically to help break the cycles of tissue
damage from inflammation.
Inflammation
is the body's natural constellation of responses to stress from
physical, chemical, or metabolic insults that initiate
tissue damage. Paradoxically, inflammatory processes can
also exacerbate tissue damage unless they are tightly controlled.
The clinical manifestations of Inflammation included burning,
swelling, discoloration, edema, and more subtle changes such as
the exacerbation of allergies of food intolerance.
In the healthy
person, inflammation, once initiated, rids the body of
damaged tissue and healing over the damaged area. However,
when certain of the programmed inflammatory pathways are abnormal
or dysfunctional, a chronic inflammatory state can develop and
persist. The enzymes in Inf-Zyme Forte help degrade and
otherwise disarm macromolecular components of the inflammatory
cascades, while the antioxidants and cofactors help dampen
the free radicals produced during the course of acute or
chronic inflammation.
Clinical research conducted
around the world has linked the constituents of Inf-Zyme
Forte to
the amelioration of
conditions such as:
|
Arthritis, bursitis,
tendonitis, sinusitis
Sports injuries, impact injuries, joint damage
Bruises, pain, swelling, burns
Thrombophlebitis, hematomas
Wound healing, recovery after surgery
More serious degenerative degenerative conditions

Inf-Zyme
Forte provides a diverse array of enzymes from both animal and
plant sources, each working via a different mechanism:
* Trypsin
and chymotrypsin are potent
animal enzymes that efficiently break down proteins (Undigested
proteins are said to often cause inflammatory processes in the
human body.); lipase breaks
down fats; amylase breaks
down carbohydrates.
* Papain
from the papaya plant and bromelain
from pineapple are robust enzyme complexes that resist degradation
from the conditions that prevail in the human digestive tract:
both are potent digestants. Bromelain has been extensively
tested and found to have prostaglandin regulation properties in
addition to its proteolysis enzyme activity. Prostaglandin cascades
are centrally involved in inflammation, and by shifting the prostaglandin
balance from pro-inflammatory towards anti-inflammatory, bromelain
can moderate symptoms and speed the time to recovery. Shortened
prostaglandin production influences recovery time. Bromelain
also can ameliorate excessive clotting linked to inflammation.
Antioxidants
help protect the body's cells, tissues, and organs against free
radicals and other oxidative stressors; they are also among the
most potent natural anti-inflammatories. Free radicals are produced
in the body during normal metabolism, but the inflammatory cascades
usually generate tremendously greater quantities of free radicals
in the affected tissues.
Antioxidants
in Inf-Zyme Forte include:
*
Rutin
- a bioflavonoid derived from eucalyptus, which is a potent anti-oxidant
and anti-inflammatory.
* Superoxide
dismutase (SOD) - an enzyme that is the body's first
line of anti-oxidant defense against uncontrolled inflammation.
SOD is the only enzyme that processes superoxide, one of the oxygen
radicals most over-produced during inflammation. American Biologics
states its SOD activity in the internationally-recognized McCord-Fridovich
Units.
* Catalase
- an antioxidant enzyme that mops up some of the oxygen free radicals
produced down the line from SOD. Catalase, one of the peroxidases,
neutralizes Hydrogen Peroxide by the enzyme activity in the clinically-relevant
SIGMA units.
* L-Cysteine
- a major antioxidant for the watery phase between the cells of
the body, and a building block for the reduced glutathione (GHS)
found inside each and every cell. Agents that reduce GSH can cause
the cell to die or commit suicide.
* Zinc
(as the gluconate salt) - an essential mineral and
a required activation cofactor for the enzyme SOD. Also
a cofactor for more than 30 other enzymes, some of which are required
for the immune cells to make new cells as recruits in the struggle
to get runaway inflammation under control. Inf-Zyme Forte
provides 17% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of zinc.
Enzymes:
One earlier
dogma in enzymology was that enzymes
are not well absorbed after oral ingestion. Research using state-of-the-art
testing and chromatographic analysis has
established that enzymes of the type and class of those in Inf-Zyme
Forte are indeed absorbed in substantial quantities.
It is
likely that once absorbed, enzymes are transported in the blood
to tissue sites that are inflamed, where
they help terminate the inflammatory process. Clinical
observations at American Biologics Hospital suggest
this product helps the body control inflammatory
processes that (if left unchecked) can
render the body vulnerable to life-threatening disease.
