Free radicals are produced as the normal by-products of digestion and respiration and are also the result of numerous other factors such as exposure to pollutants, cigarette smoke, ultra violet light and X-rays. Free radical damage has been associated with aging and can lead to chronic disease.

What can be done?

Enzymedica’s Defenze is a potent enzyme formula used to assist the body in neutralizing harmful free radicals. Key to the Defenze formula is the enzyme Catalase, which aids the body’s detoxification processes by turning the free radical compound hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Defenze also uses the enzyme protease, which breaks down proteins to help detoxify the body and support immune system function.

Glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) are also included in the Defenze formula. Glutathione is an important antioxidant molecule typically formed in the liver. Its main functions are to assist DNA repair, neutralize toxins, protect cells from free radicals, and boost immune function. Glutathione also regenerates other antioxidants like vitamin C and E.  Deficiencies of this nutrient have been associated with aging and various disease states.

Cutting Edge Protection

Enzymedica’s Defenze aids the body’s immune system in protection against free radical damage. Defenze is currently featured as Enzymedica’s August Product Spotlight. Visit Enzymedica’s website to learn more about Defenze and receive a $2.00 off coupon.

Exercise is an invaluable tool for maintaining optimal health and body function. Physical fitness can be utilized to maintain weight, build muscles and support cardiovascular well-being. Anyone who exercises knows the hard work and motivation it takes to push your body to its limits. Whether your goal is assisting the body in post-workout recovery or getting the most out of protein based diets or supplements, Enzymedica is the perfect ally to help your body combat the strain of exercise.

How it Works

Proteolytic enzymes, often called proteases (enzymes that break down protein) are manufactured naturally by the body to support the immune system. These enzymes break down foreign particles and debris, as well as accelerate the elimination of unwanted pathogens and toxins by way of the lymphatic system. Supplemental oral proteases have been shown to provide significant support to aid healthy repair and recovery.

Repair Gold

Enzymedica’s Repair Gold utilizes proteases, which work synergistically with your body’s recovery mechanisms, easing stress on your metabolic systems and aiding your innate healing processes. Repair Gold also uses the protease, Serratiopeptidase, which assists the body in tissue repair and alleviating joint discomfort. The combination of these different enzymes allows Repair Gold to aid the body in its recovery process after exercise by increasing circulation and supporting muscle, tissue and joint recovery.

Protein Optimize

Many people who exercise rely on protein either in their diets or in the form of bars and supplements. Although protein has many benefits for the during exercise, it also increases digestive demands on the body. Enzymedica’s Protein Optimize promotes the body’s protein digestion and encourages maximum nutrient availability for the processes of recovery and rebuilding.

Listen to Tom Bohager, Founder and President of Enzymedica, and author of the book “Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes” discuss Enzymedica’s unique Thera-Blend™ process in a recent podcast.

pH Matters: Thera-blend™ increases enzyme potency and effectiveness

Enzymedica’s Thera-blend™ technology is used in the manufacturing process of its protease, lipase, amylase and cellulose enzymes. The rationale behind the Thera-blend™ process takes into account the varying levels of pH in the body. Enzymes, by nature, are optimized to work within a very specific pH range, so Thera-blend™ includes several different strains of each enzyme in the formula. Thera-blend™ strains work together to achieve greater activity over a broader pH range. This process increases potency by enabling each enzyme to break down more bonds throughout the entire digestive system, and makes them more effective systemically.

This graph illustrates how a blend of one type of enzyme (such as protease) enhances the range of activity for a Thera-Blend™. Notice that there are three proteases shown. All have a slightly different optimal pH at normal body temperature. By combining the three we are able to achieve greater activity over a broader pH range (this is not an exact graph it is simply meant to illustrate the benefit of Thera-Blend™).

Customized Effectiveness

The Thera-blend™ ingredients in each Enzymedica product are tailored for the specific use of the product. To hear more about the Thera-Blend™ process, listen to Tom Bohager’s podcast here.

Enzymedica’s Director of Education, Dave Barton, recently sat down to discuss Enzymedica’s product, Candidase. Candida yeast overgrowth is something that is not frequently discussed in the medical community, partly because of the wide array of ways it can present itself in the body, such as fatigue, digestive complaints, and thrush on the tongue. Because of these varying expressions of yeast overgrowth, it is frequently mistaken for other issues. Enzymedica’s Candidase enzyme supplement helps the body to manage yeast overgrowth with enzymes that break down the yeast cell. To hear more about Candidase, listen to Dave Barton’s podcast here
