Proteolytic enzymes are digestive enzyme supplements that some people choose to bolster their own naturally occurring enzymes. Enzymes help the human body digest food properly and aid in the prevention of disorders that cause the body to break down, like allergic reactions, IBS, even parasitic invasion of the intestinal system.
These digestive enzyme supplements are usually given as enzyme therapies for certain disorders. But, the interesting thing is that these enzymes are naturally produced by the body. Certain fruits and vegetables, like papaya and pineapple have large amounts of enzymes which are usually found in the stomach and the intestines.
Digestive enzymes are found in the mouth, the stomach and the intestines. These help break down food particles into smaller sizes and metabolize proteins into fuel that the body can use. From the minute the mouth starts chewing, the enzyme amylase immediately breaks down the food particles of starch-based foods or carbohydrates like potato, pasta and rice, making them sweeter and thus stimulating the body to chew some more to increase their breakdown.
Once the food goes into the stomach, the enzyme pepsin found in the gastric acids immediately breaks down more of the food particles and releases the nutrients which are immediately carried out into the bloodstream and begin to energize the body. These all happen even before full digestion occurs in the intestines. Once the food reaches the intestines, further breakdown occurs via the bromelain which breaks down the fats. The nutrients from the fats are then carried to the bloodstream as more food.
Usually there is really no need to supplement your intake with proteolytic enzymes because the fresh fruits and vegetables plus those enzymes produced naturally in the digestive system are more than enough to keep the body healthy. However, there are some cases where an individual may be lacking those naturally occurring enzymes. This is usually due to disease, health or body system disorders, or even severe trauma (including surgery).
When there are not enough enzymes, the body cannot absorb the nutrients it needs. Despite food intake the body struggles to maintain all of its systems and organ function. Knowing that this can happen at any time when there are serious injuries or certain disorders and diseases, doctors immediately use injectable, tablet or capsule form of the enzymes. This helps get the body back to its original form.
Another way to disrupt the production of digestive enzymes is when the pancreas is not healthy and functioning optimally. Digestive enzymes found in the intestines are produced by this organ and certain diseases can affect the secretion of the pancreatic enzymes. This is the why patients who are suffering from pancreatic cancer often have a poor prognosis. No matter how the individual eats, the body fails to absorb nutrients, loses energy and begins to shut down.
Proteolytic enzymes are essential only if there is a severe injury or disease or as a preventative measure for certain disorders. It is not necessary if these conditions don't exist.
Vitalzym by World Nutrition – 180 Liquid-Gel Caps
$89.99
Was $119.99 * Vitalzym is Natural * Promotes a Balanced Lifestyle * New Extra Strength Systemic Enzyme Dietary Supplement * Enteric Coated Liquid Gel Capsules Vitalzym has been reformulated with a technologically advanced delivery system that allows for reduced dosage and vastly increased effectiveness. Vitalzym… often copied, but never equaled. Vitalzym is one of the strongest and most recommended vegetarian systemic enzymes available today. Enzymes that are naturally found in the body are necessary for each of the millions of biochemical reactions that occur within our body. Without these enzymes, human life could not exist. Why Systemic Enzymes? Simply put, enzymes are the building blocks of life. They are the biocatalysts necessary for the chemical reactions associated with breathing, growth, reproduction, digestion and all other metabolic functions.
For most people under the age of 25, enzymes are efficiently produced by the body to maintain optimal health and therefore additional enzymes do not typically need to be taken thru supplementation. However, as we age, our levels of enzyme production begin to decelerate. Unfortunately this reduction of enzyme levels may cause our bodies and overall normal body functions to break down. Thankfully, research has shown that supplementation with systemic enzymes may help the body to more efficiently use its own metabolic enzymes, thereby reducing the physiological effects of aging. That is where Vitalzym comes in. Vitalzym is a unique blend of powerful systemic enzymes that may help the body to more efficiently use its own metabolic enzymes. Physicians in Europe and Asia have long prescribed systemic enzyme supplements to restore enzyme levels and promote natural healing. Combined with professional healthcare, proper diet and exercise,
Vitalzym may help you to maintain proper enzyme amounts and balance your body's own repair mechanisms. Vitalzym has been recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide for years. The unique blend of vegetarian enzymes, flavonoids, and antioxidants found in Vitalzym has been formulated for 100% bioavailability. This means that your body will be able to process, absorb and utilize 100% of the ingredients found in each liquid-gel capsule. Serrapeptase, a key ingredient in Vitalzym, was originally discovered in Japan and is commercially produced there for medical applications. It has been used as a substitute for animal-derived enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, due to its stronger effect in terms of bradykinin-decomposing activity. The serrapeptase used in Vitalzym is the same as that used by the Japanese pharmaceutical blend of serrapeptase. This means that you are getting the highest quality product available on the market today.
If you have tried other enzyme products it now time for you to try the best. We guarantee that once you have you will never use another enzyme product again! Ingredients: Medium-Chain Triglycerides, Starch, Glycerin, Polysaccharide, Corn Protein, Beeswax, Glycerin Fatty Acid Ester, Soy Lecithin, Citric Acid. Recommended Use: This dosage recommendation is for most users. The dosage recommended by your healthcare professional may differ. As a dietary supplement, take 3 capsules daily with water. It is best to take Vitalzym at least 30 minutes before a meal, 60 minutes after a meal, or anytime in between meals. Your healthcare professional may also recommend a higher activation dosage. WARNINGS: Keep out of the reach of children. Do not take this product without the consent of your health care professional if you are currently taking anti-coagulants. Discontinue use 2 weeks prior to surgery.
NOTES: Enteric Coating – The effectiveness of any systemic enzyme is determined by the amount of activity level in the blood stream (in vivo) after being absorbed from small intestine. Enzymes, whose activities are significantly lost in an acidic environment, must be protected for their utmost effectiveness. Enzymes will begin to lose their activity once introduced into the low pH (1.0 – 3.0) acids of the stomach. The amount of activity loss is dependent upon the individual enzyme and the amount of time in the stomach. Studies have shown that unprotected enzymes can lose up to 100% of their activity in fewer than 30 minutes in pH levels below 3.0. The only method to ensure that 100% of the ingredients are not destroyed by the stomach acids is to enteric coat the enzymes. Vitalzym has been reformulated to use a pharmaceutical grade enteric coated gel capsule. Solubilized Liquid Filled Gel Capsule – At the center of the advanced delivery system is a new Solubilized Liquid Filled Gel Capsule. The technology of liquid enzymes is superior to that of capsules filled with powder due to low heat production, more uniform dose distribution and prolonged enzyme activity. Low Heat Production – Enzyme blends are available today that use an enteric coating, however they are in tablet form. The disadvantage of these blends is the amount of heat created when compressing the ingredients in to a tablet. Enzymes are susceptible to high temperatures and may begin to degrade during the manufacturing process. Solubilized Liquid Filled Capsules allow for an enteric coated enzyme without activity loss from heat. Throughout all of the processes, Vitalzym is produced under strictly controlled temperature ranges.
