Children’s Health Podcast

The National Educator for Enzymedica, Julia Craven, recently sat down to talk about children’s health and enzymes. Weak or incomplete digestion is a concern in children because it is linked to a variety of ailments such as allergies, asthma, immune deficiencies, attention deficit disorder and even autism.

Enzymes and Children

It’s never too early to start healthy digestive practices; in fact, mother’s milk is rich with enzymes. Enzymedica’s Kids Digest™ is a mild potency digestive enzyme designed specifically for children and aids in the digestion of all food groups. Kids Digest is vegan and kosher and contains enzymes that are derived from plants. Like the best selling Digest Gold™ product, Kids Digest contains Enzymedica’s exclusive, potent Thera-blend™ enzymes.

To hear more about Kids Digest and other enzymes helpful to children, such as Candidase, MucoStop and ViraStop, listen to Julia Craven discuss children’s health in a short and informative podcast.

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.

Two times stronger than Enzymedica’s original ViraStop formula, ViraStop 2X provides the highest potency blend of therapeutic proteolytic enzymes to support immune function and promote healthy well-being.

Enzymedica, Inc. has introduced ViraStop 2X, the highest potency blend of therapeutic proteolytic enzymes to aid the immune system and promote healthy well-being.

Dave Barton, Enzymedica’s Director of Education shares, “Two times stronger than Enzymedica’s original ViraStop formula, ViraStop 2X employs a unique ultra high potency blend of protease enzymes in place of the herbs and nutraceuticals found in many products in the wellness category.”

Research has shown that oral proteases, taken as a dietary supplement on an empty stomach are absorbed and carried into the blood stream where they are bound to plasma proteins known as Alpha-II-macroglobulin. Recent research also indicates that the oral proteases bound to these plasma proteins are able to break down protein based pathogens in the blood. This includes viruses, fungi such as candida, bacteria and parasites.

ViraStop 2X contains Enzymedica’s Thera-blend™ of eight different proteases chosen for their unique protein-digesting qualities. Taken on an empty stomach, the protease enzymes found in ViraStop 2X will reduce the burden on the immune system, promoting the breakdown and elimination of proteins in the bloodstream, aiding optimal immune function. The body utilizes proteolytic enzymes to break down foreign invaders such as bacteria, yeasts and viruses. Once digested, the body eliminates the virus through its inherent systems of purification and elimination.

Barton continues, “For maintenance we recommend 1 capsule daily on an empty stomach, (1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal). For therapeutic purposes 1 capsule of Virastop 2X may be taken 3 times daily, although more capsules may be added as needed.”

Enzymedica offers ViraStop 2X in a 90 serving bottle size at a suggested retail price of $69.98.

I often hear that prevention is the best medicine. And while this is true, there is so much information and ideas on exactly what preventative measures can be taken to avoid certain illnesses and diseases. But with 39 subcategories of known diseases, how do you know which one to guard against and how? The answer is there is no way to know.

While you may not know, your body can detect viruses and threats to your health and it does its best to help get rid of it. This job is carried out by your immune system. When your immune system is strong, you are healthy. On the other hand, when your immune system is weak, you are in turn open and susceptible to many diseases, illnesses and ailments.

So the obvious answer then is to strengthen your immune system and encourage it to keep fighting. Proteases are crucial in this case. When supplemented, Protease has the ability to digest dead and damaged cells throughout the body. The proteases in the body are now available to assist in immune function. H

How else can you boost your immune system? Our bodies produce white blood cells. They are cells that form a component of the blood and help to defend the body against infectious disease and foreign materials as part of the immune system (1). As you may imagine, a deficiency in white blood cells may cause a threat to the body. Proteases also play a large role in this case. When consumed on an empty stomach, they can produce more white blood cells to support healthy immune function.

Virastop, produced by Enzymedica, contains 150,000 HUT of protease making it an ideal supplement for immune function support. ( or you can say, “An ideal enzyme supplement would contain about 150,000 HUT of Protease”)
