At Enzymedica, we love to hear from our customers! We are very proud to offer the number one selling enzyme supplement on the market, Digest Gold.  (It was awarded first place in the prestigious, 2010 Vitamin Retailer Vity Awards.)  Getting industry accolades is one thing, but hearing a customer success story is like winning the race for GOLD.

We heard from one of our valued customers, Karen Barlow, who is a marathon runner and uses our products.  Marathon runners understand the need to have a completely balanced body.  Their disciplined training can be punishing to the body and they need to be able to forge forward through any pain to the finish line.  Nearly 2,600 runners hit the pavement to compete at the Laguna Hills Memorial Day Half Marathon including Karen Barlow who said:

“My favorite product that I took before the race and I continue to take on a daily basis is the Digest Gold PLUS Probiotics. This is the most awesome product from the Enzymedica range as I can take it with any of my meals and know that I am getting the best available nutrition to fuel my training and racing. I also use the CarbGest as I eat a diet that is very high in carbohydrates which is crucial to obtain the energy required to run so many miles! Carb Gest is especially valuable in the lead up to a half marathon and marathon race as this is the time when it is important to ingest even more carbohydrates called “carbo loading” before the event. Without proper carbo loading, many athletes hit the “dreaded wall” after the 20 mile mark! I take an assortment of other great products from the Enzymedica range depending on what my body needs during different phases of my training and racing.”

We would like to congratulate Karen Barlow for winning the Women’s first place at the Laguna Hills Memorial Day Half Marathon! We would love to hear your success story, too!

An achy back, a sore knee—whether the result of injury, repetitive motion or just overdoing it at the gym, minor inflammation can be irritating and painful. Our first response might be to pop a few pain relievers and wait it out. While ideal for a short term fix, these over the counter medications only treat the symptoms. Too often we fail to look at the root cause of the problem: our inflammatory process.

Inflammation is not our enemy

The body protects itself from life threatening illness and injury through the often misunderstood inflammatory process. It is this healthy inflammatory process which allows our body to heal, repair, and effectively cleanse our tissues at a cellular level. White blood cells are sent to the area of injury, swelling occurs, and damaged tissues are removed and eliminated. Without beneficial inflammation our bodies would be left in disrepair and eventually fall apart. But too much of a good thing brings its own share of problems. Inflammation that becomes chronic can be disease bearing and life threatening.

Pain and swelling are common symptoms that our inflammation response may be out of balance. Customary solutions for occasional pain and inflammation include the over the counter (OTC) medications known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aka NSAID. However, NSAIDs may slow or even turn off the inflammatory process, leaving the body less able to repair the damage that caused the pain in the first place. Overused, these medications may also compound the matter by causing gastric irritation and liver concerns.

So what can be done to support this important process?

Protease Enzymes Provide Therapeutic Support to Healthy Inflammation

An alternative solution to occasional pain and discomfort are therapeutic enzymes which work synergistically with your body’s recovery mechanisms, easing stress on your metabolic systems and aiding your innate healing processes.

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. Additionally, studies indicate that protease enzymes may reduce the negative effects of harmful inflammation.
