Millions of cells in our body die every day; simultaneously millions of cells are born. It is the way our bodies restore and regenerate. As we grow older however, the method for producing new cells slows down. The slowing process brings with it subtle signs of aging that include wrinkles, grey hair and joint pain. Though many feel that any attempt to delay the indicators of aging is futile, it is possible to provide the nutrition needed to improve the body’s ability to repair and support itself.

Stem Cells

A stem cell is often called a “master” cell in that it has the ability to develop into tissues and organs. Thus, stem cells are the fundamental building blocks that exist within our bodies. Stem cells produced by your own body after embryonic development are referred to as “Adult stem cells”. According to the National Institutes of Health, the primary roles of adult stem cells are to maintain and repair the tissue. As we age, the number and quality of stem cells that circulate in our bodies gradually decrease, leaving us more susceptible to injury and other age-related health challenges.

Stem Cell Enhancers – A Powerful New Category of Nutritional Supplements

Just as vitamins are important for proper growth and functioning of the body, stem cell enhancers are equally important to support our stem cells in maintaining proper organ and tissue functioning in our bodies. Rather than simply nourishing or protecting existing tissue cells, stem cell enhancers do something completely different: they support the production of “adult” stem cell formation. Today, more people than ever appreciate the importance of adding health supplements to their diet to encourage a youthful, healthy body inside and out. Research has shown that the effects of certain natural products, vitamins and other nutrients have the ability to modulate the self-renewal of stem cells.

Free radicals are produced naturally as the normal by-products of digestion and respiration, but can also be the result of environmental exposure to pollutants, cigarette smoke, ultraviolet light and X-rays. Although a normal part of life, free radical damage has been associated with aging and numerous disease states.

How Defenze Can Help

Defenze contains a combination of potent antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and our exclusive protease Thera-blend™.

· SOD aids in neutralizing free radicals and is part of the ‘oxidative burst’ that immune cells release to destroy bacteria and viruses that have gained access to the cells of the body.

· Catalase is an extremely efficient enzyme that removes toxins from the body. Its primary function is to turn hydrogen peroxide (a free radical compound) into water and oxygen. One molecule of catalase can dismantle millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules each second.

· Protease has a long history of therapeutic use as a detoxifier that supports immune function.

Defenze also contains glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). Glutathione is an antioxidant molecule formed in the liver. Its main functions are to assist in DNA repair, neutralize toxins, protect cells from free radicals, and boost immune function. Deficiencies of this nutrient are associated with aging and various disease states. ALA is an antioxidant that works inside and outside cells. It also regenerates other antioxidants like vitamin C and E.

Overall Immune Support

In addition to neutralizing free radicals, Defenze also assists the body in overall immune support. Defenze is the most potent antioxidant formula available on the market.

Free radicals are produced as the normal by-products of digestion and respiration and are also the result of numerous other factors such as exposure to pollutants, cigarette smoke, ultra violet light and X-rays. Free radical damage has been associated with aging and can lead to chronic disease.

What can be done?

Enzymedica’s Defenze is a potent enzyme formula used to assist the body in neutralizing harmful free radicals. Key to the Defenze formula is the enzyme Catalase, which aids the body’s detoxification processes by turning the free radical compound hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Defenze also uses the enzyme protease, which breaks down proteins to help detoxify the body and support immune system function.

Glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) are also included in the Defenze formula. Glutathione is an important antioxidant molecule typically formed in the liver. Its main functions are to assist DNA repair, neutralize toxins, protect cells from free radicals, and boost immune function. Glutathione also regenerates other antioxidants like vitamin C and E.  Deficiencies of this nutrient have been associated with aging and various disease states.

Cutting Edge Protection

Enzymedica’s Defenze aids the body’s immune system in protection against free radical damage. Defenze is currently featured as Enzymedica’s August Product Spotlight. Visit Enzymedica’s website to learn more about Defenze and receive a $2.00 off coupon.

NaturaCell, a blend of active botanicals, antioxidants, and enzyme catalysts, utilizes a studied and proven blend to support the normal growth and function of the body’s own stem cells. The product contains the patent pending NT020 blend of wild blueberry extract, vitamin D3, green tea extract, and carnosine, along with glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, SOD, and 6 additional enzymes to enhance potency, maximize immunity and contribute to cellular health.
