Due to popular
demand,World Nutritioncontinues to make the original metabolic enzyme
formula that madeVitlzym™ famous. We now carry both the originalVitlzym™
vegicaps and thenewVitlzym™ Softgels. Read
the full description of both enzymes below.
NEW!Vitlzym™ Softgels
The new enteric-coated gel capsule has been designed towithstand the
extremely low pH levels found in the stomach.The effectiveness of any
systemic enzyme is determined by the amount of activity level in the
blood stream after being absorbed from small intestine. Enzymes, whose
activities are significantly lost in an acidic environment, must be
protected for their utmost effectiveness.World Nutritionhas
reformulatedVitlzym™ with a new softgel that uses a pharmaceutical
grade enteric coated capsule to ensure that 100% of the enzyme activity
is absorbed into the blood stream through the lining of the small
intestine.
Vitlzym™ is a blend of systemic enzymes that work synergistically
together providing total system support. This exciting formula contains
Bromelain, Papain, Amylase, Lipase, and Serrapeptase. Serrapeptase is a
peptidase that is used worldwide as an anti-inflammatory enzyme,
replacing bovine derived trypsin and chymotrypsin. In addition to
enzymes, Vitlzym™ is supplemented with Amla, found naturally in the
gooseberry. This unique ingredient provides very synergistic support to
the enzymatic activity of Vitlzym™ and is well known for its
antioxidant properties. It also contains Rutin, which is highly
regarded as nature's super anti-oxidant. Vitlzym™ does not contain any
animal derivatives, which opens the door to vegetarians. It is produced
with enterically coated enzymes, and is formulated to operate in an
extremely wide pH range, allowing for better absorption.
Digestive Enzymes vs. Systemic Enzymes:
Digestive enzymes conduct their actions in the stomach
to digest food while systemic enzymes are enterically coated to prevent
contact with the stomach acid. This way they pass through the stomach
in to the intestines where they are absorbed in to the body.
The primary functions of systemic enzymes:
- Fight inflammation
- Fight fibrosis (scar tissue)
- Modulate the immune system
- Cleanse the blood
- Fight Viruses
Vitlzym™Ingredients:
Proteolytic enzyme (Protease)
The term "proteolytic" refers to all enzymes that digest
protein. Other classes of enzymes include Amylase a digestive enzyme
that breaks down carbohydrates and Lipase a digestive enzyme that
breaks down fat during the digestive process. Each of these help in the
digestion of food which in turn helps with absorption of those
essential nutrients in the diet. In the body, proteolytic digestive
enzymes are produced in the pancreas, but supplemental forms of enzymes
may come from fungal or bacterial sources, extraction from the pancreas
of livestock animals (trypsin/chymotrypsin) or extraction from plants
(such as papain from the papaya and Bromelain from pineapples). The
primary uses of proteolytic enzymes in dietary supplements are used as
digestive enzymes, anti-inflammatory agents and pain relievers.
There are a number of clinical trials showing the benefit of using
oral proteolytic enzymes as a digestive aid. Proteolytic enzymes are
also theorized to help reduce symptoms of food allergies and as a
treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases
Perhaps the strongest evidence for benefits of proteolytic enzyme
supplements come from numerous European studies showing various enzyme
blends to be effective in accelerating recovery from exercise and
injury in sportsmen as well as tissue repair in patients following
surgery. In one study of footballers suffering from ankle injuries,
proteolytic enzyme supplements accelerated healing and got players back
on the field about 50% faster than athletes assigned to receive a
placebo tablet. A handful of other small trials in athletes have shown
enzymes can help reduce inflammation, speed healing of bruises and
other tissue injuries (including fractures) and reduce overall recovery
time when compared to athletes taking a placebo. In patients recovering
from facial and various reconstructive surgeries, treatment with
proteolytic enzymes significantly reduced swelling, bruising and
stiffness compared to placebo groups.
Serrapeptase
Serrapeptase, also known as Serratia peptidase, is a proteolytic enzyme
isolated from the non-pathogenic enterobacteria Serratia E15. The
enzyme is found naturally in the intestine of the silkworm, which is
used by the silkworm to dissolve the cocoon and emerge as a moth. When
consumed in unprotected tablets or capsules, the enzyme is destroyed by
acid in the stomach. However, when enterically coated the enzyme passes
through the stomach unchanged, and can be absorbed in the intestine.
It has many clinical uses including:
- as an anti-inflammatory agent (particularly for post traumatic
swelling)
- for Fibrocystic breast disease
- for Bronchitis (Serrapeptase loosens and expels mucous)
Serrapeptase digests dead tissue, blood clots, cysts, and arterial
plaque. The late German physician Dr. Hans Nieper, used serrapeptase to
treat arterial blockage in his coronary patients. Clinical studies show
that serrapeptase induces fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and
anti-edemic (prevents swelling and fluid retention) activity in a
number of tissues, and that its anti-inflammatory effects are superior
to other proteolytic enzymes. Besides reducing inflammation, one of
serrapeptase's most profound benefits is reduction of pain, due to its
ability to block the release of pain-inducing amines from inflamed
tissues. Physicians throughout Europe and Asia have recognized the
anti-inflammatory and pain-blocking benefits of this naturally
occurring substance and are using it in treatment as an alternative to
salicylates, ibuprofen, and other NSAIDs.
Bromelain & Papain
Both Bromelain and Papain are plant derived proteolytic enzymes.
Bromelain, also known as bromelin, is a protein-digesting enzyme
extracted from the flesh and stem of the pineapple plant, Ananas
comosus. Papain, is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the papaya
plant, Carica papaya. Bromelain is most notable for its effectiveness
in the reduction of inflammation and decreasing swelling, but the scope
of its benefits continues to increase. As a natural anti-inflammatory
enzyme, bromelain has many uses. Arthritis patients may reduce the
swelling that causes joint pain by taking bromelain. Bromelain may also
be helpful for the pain, numbness, tingling, aching, and loss of motor
and sensory function in the fingers resulting from carpal tunnel
syndrome (CTS). Prevention of the adhesiveness of platelets to
endothelial cell walls was accomplished with 0.1 mcg/ml of Bromelian.
Thus the benefit of bromelain occurs over a broad range of doses, and
even small amounts may be beneficial to anyone at risk to thrombotic
heart attack or stroke. Papain has been shown to be effective in
preventing burn wound infection and helping remove dead cells. Papain
is also used for the following:
- Defibrinating wounds in hospitals
- Preventing cornea scar deformation
- Used in treatments of jellyfish and insect stings
- To treat edemas, inflammatory processes, and in the acceleration
of wound healing
- In low doses as an indigestion medicine
Papain has been used to treat ulcers, dissolve membranes in
diphtheria and reduce swelling, fever and adhesions after surgery.
Amla
Also known as Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) is the richest
source of Vitamin C. It also contains tannic acid, glucose, protein,
cellulose and Calcium. Amla is useful for stomach problems, it is
antipyretic, hair tonic and nerve brain tonic. It's also useful in
anemia, hyperacidity and in gynecological problems and epistaxis. Amla
is considered to have restorative and preventive properties.
Rutin
Is one of the many existing Flavonoids. Flavonoids are a class of
water-soluble plant pigments. Flavonoids support health by
strengthening capillaries and other connective tissue, and some
function as anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic, and antiviral agents.
Rutin and several other flavonoids may also protect blood vessels.
Rutin was shown to stimulate wound healing in rats and augment the
tensile strength of scar tissue significantly
