Feel Fantastic Again with New Enzyme Formulas
Most people consider digestive enzymes only as an aid to the digestion and elimination of food. But did you know that you might be able to keep your organs younger and therefore live longer as a result of taking digestive enzymes in between meals as well as with meals?
Digestion of food is the combined action of sufficient amounts of hydrochloric acid and pepsin in the stomach, pancreatic enzymes, enzymes produced by the lining of the intestines and bacterial enzymes. If any one area of your digestion is compromised then so too is your digestion of food and consequently your health.
Enzymes are biocatalysts that are used to carry out and speed up the process of chemical reactions in the body. We have around 3000 unique enzymes in our bodies that are involved in over 7000 enzymatic reactions. We also consume enzymes when we eat raw, sprouted, and fermented fruits and vegetables. Supplementing with an array of plant and proteolytic systemic enzymes has been
shown to have powerful health benefits.
There are three categories of enzymes, those from animal sources, such as a pork pancreas, those created by microbes (therefore vegetarian) and those from plants. Animal derived enzymes would be pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin and pancreatin. Microbial created enzymes include protease, Amylase, Amyloglucosidase, Cellulase, Beta-Glucanase, Apha-Galactosidasse, Invertase, Pepidase, Pectinase, Lactase,
Phytase, and Lipase etc. Plant derived enzymes include papain from papaya and Bromelain from pineapple.
Animal based enzymes work in a narrow pH range of from 6.7 to 9.7. Whereas microbial derived enzymes work in a broad pH range of from 2-12. This means that microbial derived enzymes are move effective and less expensive than animal derived enzymes.
Vegetarian enzyme supplements can provide greater digestive or systemic activity per capsule or tablet than animal enzyme supplements. Vegetarian enzymes can be concentrated more than animal enzymes, so more activity can be included in each capsule or tablet. This means vegetarian enzymes require fewer capsules than animal enzymes to provide equivalent digestive or systemic action. This is
particularly significant for systemic use of proteolytic enzymes where large numbers of pancreatin-based tablets are often recommended.
Vegetarian enzymes function throughout the entire digestive tract. Pepsin only functions in the high acidity of the lower stomach and pancreatin, trypsin and chymotrypsin can only digest food in the alkaline pH of the intestines.
Vegetarian enzymes can help relieve the body of some of its digestive burden, whereas, most animal enzymes work too late in the digestive process. The most commonly used animal enzymes – pancreatin, trypsin and chymotrypsin – don’t begin working until in the alkaline environment of the small intestine, after the body has already been required to produce stomach acid and pancreatic enzymes
to complete digestion.
Vegetarian enzymes are stable in the upper stomach and some of the proteases are even active in the acidic pH of the lower stomach. The most commonly used animal enzymes (pancreatin, trypsin and chymotrypsin) may be destroyed in the acid conditions of the stomach before ever reaching the small intestine. For this reason, many products containing animal enzymes are enterically coated. Enteric
coating makes the enzymes open up in the small intestines.
Anti-Inflammatory Activity Of Enzymes:
When the body is injured or under chronic stress the immune system initiates a protein chain called Circulating Immune Complex (CIC) that causes pain, redness and swelling in a particular region. This is a beneficial process and early on is a necessary part of healing.
However, inflammation can become self-perpetuating and creates further insult and irritation to the region. Unless there is modulation of the CIC response the inflammation can dominate and overwhelm the region of the body creating painful and degenerative conditions.
Systemic enzymes work to modulate or coordinate the activity of CIC’s and have no major adverse reactions. They work as a lock and key mechanism and have an affinity for proinflammatory cytokines such as Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and C Reactive Protein.
Systemic enzymes help to destroy foreign proteins, which include viruses, bacteria, yeasts and other parasites. They also help to destroy abnormal cells such as cancer cells. They will also destroy excessive anti-bodies that the body is producing such as in cases of autoimmune diseases.
The Benefits Of Systemic Enzyme Supplementation Include:
- Pain Relief
- Blood Cleansing
- Blood thinning
- Improve Range of Motion
- Reduce Swelling/Edema
- Potential Scar Tissue Removal
- Improved circulation
- Improved immunity
Taking Digestive Enzymes To Support Organ Health
It is theorized and evidence supports that we have an enzyme bank account. All organs and tissues are dependent upon metabolic enzymes for their functioning. Our digestive function is dependent upon digestive enzymes. It is now seen that we do not have an infinite supply of enzymes. As we age this metabolic and digestive enzyme bank account declines. Additionally when we eat cooked food, we demand
that the body produce all the enzymes necessary for digestion. When the pancreas and digestive system do not have the ability to produce enough digestive enzymes, the body robs the organs and tissues of their metabolic enzymes. The metabolic enzymes are shuttled through the blood to the pancreas, where the pancreas transforms them into digestive enzymes. This of course leaves the organs and tissues deficient in their metabolic enzymes, resulting in under functioning, aging organs and
tissues.
The solution is the take microbial and plant derived enzymes both with meals and in between meals. The theory is that any digestive enzyme taken in excess of what the body needs to digest a meal will be absorbed into the blood stream and make its way to organs and tissues in need. Once inside the organ or tissue they are transformed into metabolic enzymes. Of course, the most effective way to address
organ and tissue enzyme needs is to take enzymes not only with meals, but in between meals on an empty stomach.
I recently introduced to my company the highest concentration, most potent digestive, systemic and antioxidant enzymes ever to appear on the market. The manufacturer is US Enzymes. The researchers at US Enzymes discovered that when the extracts of astragalus and ginseng were added to the enzyme formula that there is a 30% increase in the power of the enzymes. They also taught me that enzymes require
minerals to work and if not present in the formula, they will take them from the body. Therefore, US Enzymes has added trace minerals to their formulas. The combination of astragalus and ginseng extracts, plus the trace minerals is called AstraZyme.
I have taken dozens of brands of both animal and plant-based enzymes over the years and could never tell that much of a difference if any difference at all in how they made me feel. Not so with US Enzymes, I am pleased to say that these enzymes make me feel really good.
I have found that by taking a combination of Theraxym, Serraxym, Youthxym and Seaxym on an empty stomach or with some fruit or juice, that the systemic effect is profound. The Theraxym feels like it is digesting sick prostate cells out of my prostate. The Serraxym digests scar tissue out of the body. The Youthxym supplies the antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase and catalase. Super oxide
dismutase can neutralize one million free radicals per second. It is the most powerful antioxidant enzyme our body’s produce. Neutralizing free radicals at this rate has made me feel very good. When your body does not have to expend energy repairing free radical damage tissues, it has that energy left over to make you feel better.
Seaxym, has the enzyme in it called Seapose, that digests mucus and biofilms out of the body.
The other enzyme formulas I take for digestion are Digestxym or Digestxym+. One capsule of either of these formulas reduces gas and thoroughly digests my food.
I’ve also taken and carry Lumboxym, Sulforaxym and HCL-XYM. Lumbroxym supplies Lumbokinase, which is a fibrin digesting enzyme proven to support thinning the blood. Sulforaxym has sulforaphane which supports liver glutathione production and therefore detoxification. HCL-XYM supplies 500 mg of Betaine HCL, which is the form of acid the stomach produces to digest proteins and fats. Virtually everyone
becomes deficient in HCL production after the age of say 53. Taking supplemental HCL can overcome this.
Immunity: Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides. These glucose polymers are constituents of the cell wall of certain pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The healing and immunostimulating properties of mushrooms have been known for thousands of years in the Eastern countries. These mushrooms contain biologically
active polysaccharides that mostly belong to group of beta-glucans. These substances increase host immune defense by activating complement system, enhancing macrophages and natural killer cell function. The induction of cellular responses by mushroom and other beta-glucans is likely to involve their specific interaction with several cell surface receptors, as complement receptor 3 (CR3; CD11b/CD18), lactosylceramide, selected scavenger receptors, and dectin-1 (betaGR).
Beta-Glucans also show anticarcinogenic activity. They can prevent oncogenesis due to the protective effect against potent genotoxic carcinogens. As immunostimulating agent, which acts through the activation of macrophages and NK cell cytotoxicity, beta-glucan can inhibit tumor growth in promotion stage too. Anti-angiogenesis can be one of the pathways through which
beta-glucans can reduce tumor proliferation, prevent tumor metastasis. Immunotherapy using monoclonal antibodies is a novel strategy of cancer treatment. These antibodies activate complement system and opsonize tumor cells. In contrast to microorganisms, tumor cells, as well as other host cells, lack beta-glucan as a surface component and cannot trigger complement receptor 3-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and initiate tumor-killing activity. This mechanism could be induced in the presence of
beta-glucans.
The highest concentration beta-glucan supplement comes from bacteria found in the ocean. That beta-glucan supplement is called Betaxym.
Ever since I got covid, when my immune system gets low, I experience the irritation and dry cough to my throat and lungs. Since taking Betaxym, I no longer have any irritation to my throat and lungs.
