Dear Group,

If you are interested in purchasing systemic enzymes, you can do a

web search for a good deal or you can go to www.vitacost.com and

purchase them at or near wholesale cost. Lynn

 

Why Take Systemic Enzymes?

 

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 into the

intestines where they are absorbed by the body.

 

The primary function of systemic enzymes

Systemic enzymes fight inflammation, fibrosis (scar tissue), and

viruses; modulate the immune system; and cleanse the blood.

 

 

Systemic Enzyme 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 fngal 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 repain in patients

following surgery. In one study of footballers suffering from ankle

injuries, proteolytic enzyme supplements accerlerated healing and got

players back on the field about 50% faster than athletes assigned to

receive a placebo tablet. 1 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. 2-3 In patients recovering from facial and various

reconstructive sugeries, treatment with proteolytic enzymes

significantly reduced swelling, bruising and stiffness compared to

placebo groups. 9-11

 

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 is destroyed by acid in the stomach. However, when

enterically coated, the enzyme passes through the stomach unchanged

and can be absorbed by the intestine.

 

It has many clinical uses, including as an anti-inflammatory agent

(particularly for post traumatic swelling), for fibrocystic breast

disease, and 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. 12 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. 13 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. 14

 

Bromelain and 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 fromthe 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). 15, 16 Prevention of the

adhesiveness of platelets to endothelial cell walls was accomplished

with 0.1 mcg/ml of Bromelain. 16a Thus the benefti 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. 17

 

Papain is also used for defibrinating wounds in hopitals, preventing

cornea scar deformation, treating jellyfish and insect stings,

treating edemas and inflammatory processes, accelerating wound

healing, for indigestion, dissolving membranes in diphtheria,

treating ulcers, and to reduce fever, swelling and adhesions after

surgery.

 

Amla

Also known as Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) is the richest

source of Vitamin C. The Vitamin C in Amla is from the Rutin family,

and there is about 50 mg per System Enzyme capsule. 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 is also useful in anemia, hyperacidity and in gynecological

problems and epistaxis. Amla is considered to have restorative and

preventative properties.

 

Rutin

Rutin is one of the many existing Flavonoids, which 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. 18

[Guest guest]

I'm confused. Can we obtain " digestive enzymes " that are enteric coated, or is

it necessary for them to be enteric coated to have their effect? I'm still not

sure I understand how you distinguish enteric coated from non-enteric coated

enzymes.
