Seasonal Well Being and Enzymes

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Most of us have experienced the lull of the winter months. Many of us struggle with seasonal well-being, and it can affect our quality of life by causing us to miss out on work or social activities. Enzymes can be used preventatively and proactively, and the benefits of enzymes for healthy immunity are discussed by Dr. Gary Kracoff in a recent Fox news story.

Assisting with Excess or Inappropriate Mucus

MucoStop™ is a blend of proteolytic enzymes to help reduce the effects of histamine-induced inflammation

MucoStop™ is a blend of proteolytic enzymes to help reduce the effects of histamine-induced inflammation. The purpose of MucoStop is to support normal mucus function while helping to speed the breakdown and removal of inappropriate mucus. Mucolase, one of the enzymes in MucoStop , is a proteolytic enzyme (breaks down protein) that has mucolytic properties, meaning it targets and hydrolyzes inappropriate or excess mucus.

Assisting with Prevention

Whether your concern is seasonal well-being or general immune health, ViraStop 2X™ contains Enzymedica’s highest blend of therapeutic proteolytic enzymes.  Two times stronger than Enzymedica’s original ViraStop blend, you may use ViraStop 2X daily or at the onset of a condition. ViraStop 2X employs a unique ultra high potency blend of protease enzymes in place of the herbs and nutraceuticals found in many products in the wellness category. ViraStop 2X contains Enzymedica’s Thera-blend™ of eight different proteases chosen for their unique proteolytic abilities. Taken on an empty stomach, the protease enzymes found in ViraStop 2X can reduce the burden on the immune system, promoting the breakdown and elimination of proteins in the bloodstream, aiding optimal immune function.

Swine flu shots are scarce, and getting a regular flu shot is becoming difficult as well, so people are now trying to figure out if there is a decent alternative out there.

Waltham-based pharmacist, Dr. Gary Kracoff, manager of the Health and Wellness Center in Johnson Compounding has been getting 40 to 50 calls per day, including calls from doctors.

-FOX 25 Morning News, Boston

With the limited availability of the swine flu shot, it is essential for preventative measures during this flu season. In this video clip from Fox 25 Morning News, Dr. Kracoff discusses some natural alternatives to over the counter cold and flu medications. For the category of enzymes, Dr. Kracoff’s sole recommendations were Enzymedica’s products, ViraStop2x and MucoStop.

Children’s Health Podcast

The National Educator for Enzymedica, Julia Craven, recently sat down to talk about children’s health and enzymes. Weak or incomplete digestion is a concern in children because it is linked to a variety of ailments such as allergies, asthma, immune deficiencies, attention deficit disorder and even autism.

Enzymes and Children

It’s never too early to start healthy digestive practices; in fact, mother’s milk is rich with enzymes. Enzymedica’s Kids Digest™ is a mild potency digestive enzyme designed specifically for children and aids in the digestion of all food groups. Kids Digest is vegan and kosher and contains enzymes that are derived from plants. Like the best selling Digest Gold™ product, Kids Digest contains Enzymedica’s exclusive, potent Thera-blend™ enzymes.

To hear more about Kids Digest and other enzymes helpful to children, such as Candidase, MucoStop and ViraStop, listen to Julia Craven discuss children’s health in a short and informative podcast.

ViraStop and Lypo Gold: Enzyme Expert Describes Benefits of Therapeutic Enzyme Supplements

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Enzymedica’s Director of Research and Development, Maday Labrador recently sat down to explain how therapeutic enzymes differ from digestive enzymes, and what benefits can be expected from Enzymedica’s line of therapeutic enzymes.  Featured are two of Enzymedica’s therapeutic supplements, ViraStop and Lypo Gold.

Digestive Enzymes or Therapeutic Enzymes?

Most Americans are familiar with the benefit of digestive enzymes, taking a capsule or two with meals to alleviate digestive discomfort.  Our body produces thousands of enzymes, each with a unique and very specific role.  We find protease, amylase, and lipase in our digestive system, enzymes which break down the proteins, sugars, and fats in the foods we eat.  
 
Gaining popularity recently are therapeutic enzymes, which go beyond digestion, working in the bloodstream to support metabolic reactions like healthy cellular repair and immunity.  We find varieties of these therapeutic enzymes in our organs and glands, traveling through our bloodstream serving as catalysts to our metabolism, immune system, and cardiovascular activity.  
 
Therapeutic enzyme supplements are taken between meals or on an empty stomach so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream and utilized in ways other than digestion. One example is protease, a protein digesting enzyme.  Taken as a digestive aid, protease will help break down the proteins in our diet.  Research indicates, however, that when taken on an empty stomach protease may aid our body’s immune system, breaking down unwanted materials such as cellular waste.  Like protease, the enzyme amylase which targets sugars and starch and lipase which breaks down fats also have the ability to multitask in the body.

Enzymedica’s ViraStop is a therapeutic enzyme supplement that uses protease to assist the body in its natural immune function.  ViraStop contains Enzymedica’s Thera-blend™ of eight different proteases chosen for their unique proteolytic abilities.  

Enzymedica’s Lypo Gold  is a therapeutic enzyme supplement that uses a lipase Thera-blend™ to assist the body in the management of healthy fat levels in the blood.  Lypo Gold can assist in the maintenance of proper lipase levels in the body, and lipase enzymes help support healthy cholesterol and maintain cardiovascular health.

Enzymedica, Inc. Introduces ViraStop 2x™

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Two times stronger than Enzymedica’s original ViraStop formula, ViraStop 2X provides the highest potency blend of therapeutic proteolytic enzymes to support immune function and promote healthy well-being.

Enzymedica, Inc. has introduced ViraStop 2X, the highest potency blend of therapeutic proteolytic enzymes to aid the immune system and promote healthy well-being.

Dave Barton, Enzymedica’s Director of Education shares, “Two times stronger than Enzymedica’s original ViraStop formula, ViraStop 2X employs a unique ultra high potency blend of protease enzymes in place of the herbs and nutraceuticals found in many products in the wellness category.”

Research has shown that oral proteases, taken as a dietary supplement on an empty stomach are absorbed and carried into the blood stream where they are bound to plasma proteins known as Alpha-II-macroglobulin. Recent research also indicates that the oral proteases bound to these plasma proteins are able to break down protein based pathogens in the blood. This includes viruses, fungi such as candida, bacteria and parasites.

ViraStop 2X contains Enzymedica’s Thera-blend™ of eight different proteases chosen for their unique protein-digesting qualities. Taken on an empty stomach, the protease enzymes found in ViraStop 2X will reduce the burden on the immune system, promoting the breakdown and elimination of proteins in the bloodstream, aiding optimal immune function. The body utilizes proteolytic enzymes to break down foreign invaders such as bacteria, yeasts and viruses. Once digested, the body eliminates the virus through its inherent systems of purification and elimination.

Barton continues, “For maintenance we recommend 1 capsule daily on an empty stomach, (1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal). For therapeutic purposes 1 capsule of Virastop 2X may be taken 3 times daily, although more capsules may be added as needed.”

Enzymedica offers ViraStop 2X in a 90 serving bottle size at a suggested retail price of $69.98.
