Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS™ took the 4th spot in Vitamin Retailer’s retailer survey of the 2009 top ten products. The honor was formally announced in the December 2009 issue of Vitamin Retailer magazine.

Tom Bohager, Enzymedica’s Operating Chairman and Founder shares, “We take great pride in providing exceptional enzyme-focused supplements at the most therapeutic levels available in industry, but it’s a true honor to be recognized as a retailer favorite in an industry flush with competitive products.”

Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS combines Enzymedica’s respected digestive enzyme formula, Digest Gold™, with guaranteed delivery of 500 million active probiotic cultures. The formula boasts Enzymedica’s exclusive TherActive Delivery System™. Superior to standard time–release and enteric coated probiotic capsules, TherActive employs a specialized coating applied to the probiotic cultures before encapsulation with enzymes. This coating provides shelf stability, guarantees potency, and ensures probiotic release in the alkaline pH of the small intestine.

“Our Digest Gold formula represents the most potent digestive enzyme supplement on the market,” continues Bohager. “Adding probiotics was a natural line extension to our already award-winning product line.

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.

Supplementing With Enzymes

NaturaCell™ by Enzymedica offers a natural, proven approach to cellular regeneration and protection. By providing all-natural antioxidants and botanical extracts, NaturaCell assists the body in protecting cells against the harmful effects of free radicals and helps to support the release of stem cells within the body in order to maintain optimal health. To learn more about the benefits of stem cell enhancement, read the NaturaCell product handout or look at the Enzymedica newsletter on restoration and regeneration of 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.

Many of the health issues faced by people today can be attributed to nutritional deficiencies. Malabsorption is a common problem where nutrients from food or supplements are not properly utilized within the gastrointestinal tract. A lack of nutrients may lead to serious health conditions, which is why it is important to have proper absorption of vitamins, minerals, herbs and nutrients.

Optimize What?

Enzymedica has been a leader in enhancing digestion, absorbability, and thus the nutritional status of the consumer through the use of plant based enzymes. Enzymedica now goes a step further in enhancing the absorption of vitamins, minerals, herbs as well as nutrients with Vitamin & Mineral Optimize.

Bioperine

The active ingredient in Vitamin & Mineral Optimize is Bioperine, a standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper). Bioperine is fat soluble so it is able to penetrate intestinal cell membranes, leading to better absorption. It is regarded as a thermonutrient that can stimulate thermogenesis. This means that it can increase energy available for nutrient absorption by increasing the activity of enzymes, and may also increase blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract and increase the levels of enzymes involved in transport of nutrients into intestinal cells.

Enhancing Supplements

The potency in Vitamin & Mineral Optimize is specifically designed for supplemental vitamin, mineral and herb absorption when taken on an empty stomach. Vitamin & Mineral Optimize can help you get the most out of the nutrients you consume. To learn more about absorption of supplements, read volume 3, issue 2 of the Enzymedica newsletter.

Complete Digestive Care in a Single Capsule

The enzyme experts have done it again! Enzymedica introduces Digest Gold+ PROBIOTICS, providing the convenience of high potency digestive enzymes combined with guaranteed delivery of active probiotic cultures.

Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS is a multitasking enzyme supplement that contains Digest Gold’s award winning digestive enzyme formula with the addition of 500 million active probiotic cultures.

Digestion

Enzymes are the most effective tools made by the body to aid digestion.  Enzymes are manufactured throughout the digestive system, and we consume them in the form of enzyme-rich raw foods.  Like tiny shears or clippers, enzymes help break down the foods we eat, leaving particles small enough to enter the bloodstream.


Probiotics

Probiotics are the healthy flora that reside in our digestive tract.  These organisms support regularity, aid the immune system, produce vitamins like B and K, and fuel our digestion through their production of enzymes, including lactase, protease, and amylase.   The enzymes made by the flora work synergistically with our own inherent enzymes to support optimal wellbeing and digestive health.

Guaranteed Delivery

Probiotics are active cultures which must make their way through various obstacles in their journey to the gastrointestinal tract.  These live organisms then take up residence and provide benefits. First, they must stand up to the exposure to light, heat and moisture on the shelf.  After consumption, they must withstand harsh stomach acid and other digestive fluids.  It is this obstacle course through the body that can prevent probiotics from being fully effective.

This problem can be overcome, however, with Enzymedica’s unique TherActive™ Delivery system. Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS contains 500 million cultures of specially coated (TherActive™) probiotics.  TherActive is not an encapsulation process—it is a coating that allows for maximum performance and preservation of probiotics. Superior to standard time release mechanisms, TherActive™ delivery ensures release in the alkaline pH of the small intestine, guaranteeing potency, delivering healthy bacteria for optimal benefit.

A Multi-tasking Enzyme

Taking one capsule of Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS is the same as taking two digestive products in one convenient dose. If you take 3 capsules daily, you receive the highest potency digestive enzyme on the market, Digest Gold, plus you also get 1.5 billion active probiotic cultures. This saves both time and money.

Digest Gold + PROBIOTICS is available now with a special coupon. To learn more visit the product page.
