Systemic Enzymes contains systemic enzymes that split proteins into shorter amino acid chains, thus conferring multiple health benefits, including soothing and purifying effects. As enzymes are vulnerable to degradation by stomach acids, Systemic Enzymes now comes in DR Caps – gastro-resistant capsules – which ensure optimum efficacy and bioavailability, the enzymes being absorbed in the small intestine where they pass directly into the bloodstream.
Why take Systemic Enzymes?
An enzyme is a biological catalyst, a molecule that increases by up to several million the speed at which metabolic reactions take place in cellular and extracellular environments. Almost 3,000 enzymes generate over 7,000 enzymatic reactions in the body. Enzymes are particularly associated with, but not limited to, digestive function. "Systemic" means that they act throughout the body, providing multiple benefits for human health. This wide-spectrum enzyme complex can compensate for the enzyme deficiency we see with advancing age:
- Peptidases break proteins peptide bonds, and participate in protein maturation, food digestion, blood coagulation and tissue remodeling during the body's development and healing processes.
- Chymotrypsin and trypsin hydrolyze the majority of proteins and work synergistically with endogenous enzymes. They boost digestion, the immune system, and cardiovascular health.
- Pancreatin is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas (amylase, lipase and protease) which helps in treating certain food allergies and auto-immune diseases as well as in losing weight.
- Bromelain and papain are plant proteolytic enzymes. Bromelain is recognized for its ability to reduce inflammation and swelling. Papain is also used to counter plaque, treat edema, and inflammatory processes as well as to reduce post-operative swelling and adhesions.
What are the Benefits Associated to Systemic Enzymes?
- They have powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-relief properties, without the side-effects of drugs with similar properties (NSAIDs).
- They stimulate internal defenses to protect the joints from degeneration.
- They purify and promote fluidity of the blood by regulating the amount of fibrin in the blood.
- They have an immuno-modulatory effect by activating macrophages and improving their infection-fighting capacity.
- They help accelerate post-exercise recovery.
- They promote wound-healing.
- They stimulate drug efficacy (particularly chemotherapy).
- They improve rheumatoid arthritis and all other inflammatory disorders of the joints, shoulders, knees, back among others.
- They offer benefits following minor surgery (dental or ophthalmic) or more major operations.
- They improve pancreatitis, inducing moderate secretion of enzymes.
- They improve chemotherapy, improving its effects.
