Enzymedica offers a wide range of enzyme supplements for various uses.

Top of the Line Potency and Effectiveness

Digest Gold™ represents the most potent digestive enzyme supplement on the market. Formulated to assist with protein, carbohydrate, fat and fiber digestion, Digest Gold contains 14 enzymes to maximize our ability to digest and assimilate food. Because of it’s high level of potency, one 1 capsule is recommended at the beginning of each meal, saving time and money.  More can be taken as needed.

Why a Digestive Enzyme?

Supplemental enzymes can be very effective to help digest and assimilate foods and ease tension from digestive issues.  Digestive enzymes can multitask in the body, however, so they are also useful for general health. When we reduce stress on the digestive system, more energy and thus more metabolic enzymes are made available to the body to support the immune system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, nervous system, and more.

* Digest Gold and Digest are the two top selling digestive enzymes on the US market according to SPINS, a market research and consulting firm for the Natural Products Industry.

Enzymedica’s Director of Research and Development, Maday Labrador recently sat down to explain how therapeutic enzymes differ from digestive enzymes, and what benefits can be expected from Enzymedica’s line of therapeutic enzymes.  Featured are two of Enzymedica’s therapeutic supplements, ViraStop and Lypo Gold.

Digestive Enzymes or Therapeutic Enzymes?

Most Americans are familiar with the benefit of digestive enzymes, taking a capsule or two with meals to alleviate digestive discomfort.  Our body produces thousands of enzymes, each with a unique and very specific role.  We find protease, amylase, and lipase in our digestive system, enzymes which break down the proteins, sugars, and fats in the foods we eat.  
 
Gaining popularity recently are therapeutic enzymes, which go beyond digestion, working in the bloodstream to support metabolic reactions like healthy cellular repair and immunity.  We find varieties of these therapeutic enzymes in our organs and glands, traveling through our bloodstream serving as catalysts to our metabolism, immune system, and cardiovascular activity.  
 
Therapeutic enzyme supplements are taken between meals or on an empty stomach so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream and utilized in ways other than digestion. One example is protease, a protein digesting enzyme.  Taken as a digestive aid, protease will help break down the proteins in our diet.  Research indicates, however, that when taken on an empty stomach protease may aid our body’s immune system, breaking down unwanted materials such as cellular waste.  Like protease, the enzyme amylase which targets sugars and starch and lipase which breaks down fats also have the ability to multitask in the body.  

Enzymedica’s Therapeutic Enzyme Products

Enzymedica’s ViraStop is a therapeutic enzyme supplement that uses protease to assist the body in its natural immune function.  ViraStop contains Enzymedica’s Thera-blend™ of eight different proteases chosen for their unique proteolytic abilities.  

Enzymedica’s Lypo Gold  is a therapeutic enzyme supplement that uses a lipase Thera-blend™ to assist the body in the management of healthy fat levels in the blood.  Lypo Gold can assist in the maintenance of proper lipase levels in the body, and lipase enzymes help support healthy cholesterol and maintain cardiovascular health.

Exercise is an invaluable tool for maintaining optimal health and body function. Physical fitness can be utilized to maintain weight, build muscles and support cardiovascular well-being. Anyone who exercises knows the hard work and motivation it takes to push your body to its limits. Whether your goal is assisting the body in post-workout recovery or getting the most out of protein based diets or supplements, Enzymedica is the perfect ally to help your body combat the strain of exercise.

How it Works

Proteolytic enzymes, often called proteases (enzymes that break down protein) are manufactured naturally by the body to support the immune system. These enzymes break down foreign particles and debris, as well as accelerate the elimination of unwanted pathogens and toxins by way of the lymphatic system. Supplemental oral proteases have been shown to provide significant support to aid healthy repair and recovery.

Repair Gold

Enzymedica’s Repair Gold utilizes proteases, which work synergistically with your body’s recovery mechanisms, easing stress on your metabolic systems and aiding your innate healing processes. Repair Gold also uses the protease, Serratiopeptidase, which assists the body in tissue repair and alleviating joint discomfort. The combination of these different enzymes allows Repair Gold to aid the body in its recovery process after exercise by increasing circulation and supporting muscle, tissue and joint recovery.

Protein Optimize

Many people who exercise rely on protein either in their diets or in the form of bars and supplements. Although protein has many benefits for the during exercise, it also increases digestive demands on the body. Enzymedica’s Protein Optimize promotes the body’s protein digestion and encourages maximum nutrient availability for the processes of recovery and rebuilding.

Enzymes, by definition, are catalysts-substances that cause a chemical reaction to move faster.  Enzymes are present throughout our body, digesting our foods and sparking the chemical reactions which are required to sustain life. We produce enzymes in our varied body systems, and we can take them in from food sources or as supplements.
