Enteric Coated enzymes is very important.

The effectiveness of any systemic enzyme is determined by the amount of activity level in the bloodstream after the enzyme has been absorbed from the small intestine. Enzymes, whose activity is significantly reduced in an acidic environment, must be protected from it for their utmost effectiveness. Enzymes will begin to lose their activity once introduced into the low pH (1.0-3.0) acids of the stomach. The amount of activity loss is dependent upon the individual enzyme and the amount of time it spends in the stomach.

Studies have shown that unprotected enzymes can lose up to 100% of their activity in fewer than 30 minutes in pH levels below 3.0. The only reliable method of ensuring that 100% of the enzymes are not destroyed by the stomach acids is to enteric-coat the enzymes.

Vitalzym has been reformulated to use an enteric coated gel capsule manufactured under pharmaceutical-grade guidelines.

Though revolutionary to nutritional enzyme blends, this enteric coating process is similar to that used in todays most advanced products. The capsule has an all-natural shell barrier that allows it to withstand the extremely low pH levels found in the stomach. Once introduced to the pancreatic juices in the duodenum (upper small intestine), the shell barrier breaks down to release the enzymes it contains. The enzymes are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the small intestine.

The new enteric coated gel capsule has been designed to pass both the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and JP (Japan Pharmacopeia) disintegration tests for enteric coated capsules.
Every batch is tested to ensure it meets the agency guidelines before exportation to the U.S.

Vitalzym's Exclusive Proprietary Enzyme Blend

Proprietary Blend Vitalzym is recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide. The unique blend of vegetarian enzymes, flavonoids, and antioxidants has been formulated for 100% absorption in the small intestine.* Serrapeptase, a key ingredient in Vitalzym, was originally discovered in Japan and is commercially produced there for health applications. It has been used as a substitute for animal-derived enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, due to its stronger effect in terms of bradykinin-decomposing activity (a measurement of the enzyme activity level needed to degrade bradykinin, a protein found in the body that causes an inflammatory response).

Vitalzym helps reinforce the body's defense mechanism in the following ways:

• Fibrin: Normal enzyme levels help guard against the formation of fibrin.
• Blood: Enzymes help cleanse the blood of debris, maintaining blood health.
• Immune Function: Enzymes help maintain healthy immune systems.
• Healthy Circulation: Normal enzyme levels help promote blood circulation.

American Heart Association states:

The American Heart Association has stated the inflammation in your body is a marker for heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. The medical professions are beginning to understand and acknowledge that inflammation plays a major role in disease. Some are strongly suggesting that it is at the core of the issue.

Vitalzym is a safe and effective natural formulation for individuals seeking relief from inflammation and fibrosis conditions. As we age, our body's natural production of enzymes may slow. Supplementation with Vitalzym along with proper diet and exercise helps to maintain normal enzyme levels, balancing your body's own repair mechanisms. Vitalzym is a safe option for alleviating chronic pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and fibrosis.

Testimonials from Healthcare Practitioners.

I hurt my back and had tried everything naturally to help the pain but it didn’t work.  So I went on Naprosyn, a heavy anti-inflammatory.  A MRI identified that I had a disk problem.  My doctor, a DO, then gave me steroid injections that helped but still left me in pain.  During this time, I stayed on Naprosyn.  However, this messed up my hormones.  I started taking 10 Vitalzym capsules 3 times per day and stopped the injections and anti-inflammatory drugs.  I experienced the liver detoxification but was aware of what was going on so I knew it was cleansing my system.  After taking it daily, the swelling in my legs has gone down.  In addition, I have quit getting up in the night to urinate which means Vitalzym likely helped any kidney scar tissue.  And the fungus on my toe is clearing up.  I am still taking 5 Vitalzym capsules 3 times per day.  Vitalzym has taken my pain level from a 5 – 6 to a 1.

Several months ago, a sample of my blood was analyzed with Dark Field Analysis, and my red blood cells were almost completely “infested” with target cells.  After two weeks of taking 3 capsules of Vitalzym on an empty stomach, morning and night, 95” of the target cells were gone and my red blood cells looked normal and healthy on the Dark Field Analysis screen.

Furthermore, I have had struggles with acne, and the breakouts have left brown and bluish spotted scars.  As soon as I began taking Vitalzym, and especially once I increased the dose to 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 capsules twice per day on an empty stomach, I Began to see these scars get lighter and lighter.  Some of these marks I couldn’t imagine would ever go away…especially this fast.

It seems to me that Vitalzym has seriously enhanced my healing process in both instances – ridding me of the target cells, reducing inflammation, and scarring on my face.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on May 20th, 2003.  I did not use any conventional medicine except for diagnosis.  I worked with my naturopath using various supplements to boost my immune system.  I used 30 capsules of Vitalzym a day (10 capsules, 3 times a day on an empty stomach) to kill the cancer cells and also to further boost my immune system and help detoxify my body.  I also used a variety of other modalities to eliminate the cancer from my system.  But Vitalzym was a key component of my protocol.  My body was free of cancer by September 2003.  And, I remain free of cancer in my body till this day.  I do, however, continue to use Vitalzym and other supplements daily and will probably do so for another six months or so.

Just wanted to say thanks for your product, Vitalzym.  I have had many reports of improvements for various complaints from pains, to swelling of joints, to Raynaud’s … being relieved by Vitalzym.  Two of the most remarkable were in cardiac patients with claudicaiton of their legs besides the angina they had.  One was getting ozone treatments with Calcium EDTA chelation and was no longer having pain at rest.  All of his major coronary arteries were completely occluded and Mayo clinic had tried laser, robotic therapy, rotorutter… and for five years running, he had spent over $10,000 for a month of failed treatments each year.  After three weeks of the above chelation therapy he felt better, but paid a price for exertion.  After a few days on the Vitalzym, as well as chelation and ozone saunas, he’s back hunting, fishing, hiking… with no pain in his chest or legs.

The other fella was as bad… with angina at rest and claudication on 15 feet of walking, he, too, had the calcium EDTA and ozone saunas and was better, but came in today stating that he was able to walk to the grocery store without having to stop once and didn’t even feel a tinge of pain or fatigue just two days after starting the Vitalzym.  My hat’s off to your company for such a good response…far better than your competitor.  I will continue to refer patients to you for their products.

Dr. Wong, thank you for the data on Vitalzym.  I appreciate your expertise.  I’m in the process of branching out from “orthodox” medicine at this time, doing acupuncture and osteopathic manipulation.  The nutritional elements of patient healing have always been “out there” until now.  I appreciate your advocacy of this supplement.  It is a breath of fresh air and a useful additional tool in the toolbox of modalities in treating chronic pain in my patients.

                Thaddeus Srutwa, MD, Grand Haven, MI

 

I had written to Dr. Wong a few months ago about trying Vitalzym and it took us awhile to decide to try (yet again) another product.  So far we are stunned at the change it seems to have made for my older daughter who was misdiagnosed with asthma for 10 years and so developed a lot of scar tissue from chronic severe lung infection.  Blessings to you.

I am dropping you this line to tell you how pleased I am with your product – Vitalzym.  As a physician for well over 60 years, I have not written a prescription for drugs since 1959!  Since that time I have relied on natural substances, such a herbs, nutritional supplements and noninvasive therapies to treat my patients and by so doing I have used and recommended hundreds of supplements in the last 40 years.

Conditions complicated by inflammation and fibrosis are things a physician commonly sees in his practice.  For years not much but White Willow Bark and Bromelain were available to treat these maladies with nature.  Systemic enzymes have been a blessing in relieving the inflammation that is the cause of every pain and the fibrosis build up that comes with many injuries, diseases and surgery.  Of all the systemic enzymes presently on the market, your Vitalzym is one of the best.  My patients have found that it works quickly and well to reduce their inflammations and thereby relieve their pain.  Fibrotic conditions are likewise greatly reduced or eliminated altogether.

I would like to thank you for bringing this product to the public and wish you continued success in making patients aware of its benefits.

Last week I received a sample bottle of Vitalzym.  I heard about it when you sent me a cassette tape.  I hardly ever listen to those, but I was just going on a long drive when it came, and decided to listen on the way.  I am an acupuncturist and RN, and have been trying out various enzymes, mostly with very little success.  I got my bottle of Vitalzym in the afternoon, and decided to take one before going to bed.  When I woke up the next morning, I went down to get my coffee as usual, but I noticed something odd when coming back up the stairs.  My knees didn’t hurt.  Now I don’t normally have a lot of knee pain, just what I call old age creeping up.  But what made me stop and notice was that I had NO knee pain.  I even walked back down and up the stairs just to make sure.  I kept taking my enzymes that day, and several times went up and down the stairs just to make sure I wasn’t hurting.  Now, a few days later, still no knee pain and my chronic low back pain is about half of normal.  Can it really be that one pill knocked out my knee pain???  If so, this really is fairy dust.  I have several of my patients trying Vitalzym.  Can’ wait to see the results!

When Vitalzym entered my life, I was suffering from a tenacious virus for about 4 or 5 days.  My symptoms were sore throat, cough, hoarse voice, stuffy head, headache, body aches and stuffy nose.  I was also recovering form 4 weeks of menstrual bleeding…very disconcerting and weakening and I was depressed by it all.  My woman’s health care specialist told me by the sounds of my symptoms: the heavy bleeding, and the poochie abdomen etc, that I most likely had fibroid tumors in my uterus causing the symptoms.

I opened Vitalzym bottle and popped 5 caps into my mouth immediately, as I knew that enzymes will eat the protein shield off of viruses and render them helpless if you can get enough of them into your system on an empty stomach.  I took 5 more later that day and 5 more before bed.  The next morning, I woke up and realized I had slept all night.  I also breathed thru my nose, which was something I hadn’t done for a few nights and I didn’t ache anywhere.

My period started again and I was worried but did not have time to get to the women’s health care specialist…it lasted a few days and then stopped.  By the end of 2 weeks I had run out of Vitalzym and realized that I had lost 10 pounds and I no longer had a poochie abdomen.  I noticed that I was no longer depressed and that I didn’t have to take herbs to have a bowel movement…something I had been having to do without fail for the last decade or so.  I ordered more Vitalzym immediately.

Since I have been taking Vitalzym I have had no more heavy, saturation bleeding periods.  They have been about 5 days with moderate flow instead of 2 – 3 of barely controllable bleeding night and day, requiring me to stay at home for that time.  I have had 4 normal periods in 4 months.  The other thing is that they have come on without swelling and pain in my breasts nor migraines for the most part.  They happen without 10 days of moodiness and discomfort like before.  There has been no breakthrough bleeding and no irregular bleeding in between.

I also had eye pain for over a year prompting me to see an eye doctor who said the muscles around my optic nerves had grown and were causing the visual disturbances known as midlife eyes syndrome – farsightedness etc (I am 53).  Very often I was getting terrible headaches and eye pain.  That is gone now and I believe it is the result of taking the Vitalzym.

Perhaps related to that I have always had achy ears and I frequently wear cotton in them and always a hat.  Recently my ears have been very clear and strong.  I no longer need cotton nor hats when I am outside which is often as I walk my 2 dogs daily.  Another thing I have noticed is that cuts and wounds are healing fast now.

One of the most amazing things is the improvement in my attitude and moods.  I just feel happy everyday and I don’t have mood swings that exhaust me trying to control them.  I can pull out of negativity faster and my thoughts are more expansive and hopeful.  I feel peaceful and that I am healing on a deep level.

I also notice that if I take the Vitalzym with any herbs, the herbal effects are exaggerated.  I also notice that I urinate way more when I take the Vitalzym and I make sure I drink a lot more water than I ever did before.  If I don’t, I get a headache which tells me the Vitalzym are detoxing my body on some level…it’s subtle.

Before taking the Vitalzym I had swollen and fragile tissue due to misuse of cortisone cream for hemorrhoids years ago.  It has always been a bother.  The scar tissue and fragile tissue is much improved now – no more swelling and very much nicer.

My dog was so happy to see me recently that he leaped up at the same time I was bending down to hug him.  We crashed heads and I tasted blood and saw stars.  The dog was ok but my nose felt rearranged and smashed.  I remembered the testimonial I read about the woman who crashed her son’s head and I took 10 Vitalzym at once.  I never did swell up and the pain went away immediately.

I am really so thankful for the Vitalzym and for the info you continue to provide me.  I have listened to the tape 12 times now and am still fascinated and I hear something new each time.  I love the possibilities of it.  Thank you so much!!

Vitalzym really works for me. I have fibromyalgia, and I've tried a lot of other things, but I don't get the same results as I do with Vitalzym. I take a multiple approach to dealing with the fibro. I also get massage, acupuncture, and do Pilates.

Some people with fibromyalgia have to stop working because of the pain and other problems. I was determined not to have to do that.

Some people comment to me that Vitalzym is too expensive. I feel it is better than taking a lot of pain medication. Everyone has a different perspective. Mine is that I can't buy back days of my life. Quality of life is my optimum goal, and I have found that Vitalzym is a big part of that.

Mahola for these products.  After about 6 months I have been able to get completely off blood pressure medication.  In addition to  getting off the blood pressure medicine, the pain that I have had in my feet from years of abuse as a dancer has decreased substantially, and some days is completely gone.  I can only attribute it to the enzymes.  I'm very happy with these products

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are enzymes? Enzymes are found in every cell of every living plant and animal, including humans. Enzymes are biocatalysts; which means that they either begin a reaction or cause a reaction to speed up. Without enzymes life would not exist. How do enzymes work? Enzymes work by virtue of their shape. An enzyme molecule can be compared, in shape at least, to many short strings of pearls (amino acids) strung together. This long string folds in on itself as certain sequences of amino acids (pearls) are more attracted to each other than to other sequences, thus giving the enzymes a specific shape. At one point on the surface of this string of pearls there exists something, which looks like a keyhole. This is called the "active site" on the enzyme. When matched with its specific coenzyme (a vitamin, mineral, or trace element) this "lock" has the exact inverse contour of the "key" which is contained in the molecule of the enzyme's "substrate" (the molecule that the enzyme wants to transform into a different molecule). When the substrate appears, it inserts the "key" into the "lock." The molecular structure of the substrate is transformed into a different molecular structure and both enzyme and the newly transformed molecule go on their merry ways.

What is a digestive enzyme? A digestive enzyme breaks down the proteins, fats and carbohydrates in food during the digestive process allowing the body to better utilize the food you eat.

What is a proteolytic enzyme? The proteolytic enzyme digests protein. Some examples of proteolytic enzymes are protease, serrapeptase, bromelain, and papain.

What is a lipase enzyme? Lipase enzymes digest fat.

What is an amylase enzyme? Amylase enzymes digest carbohydrates.

What is systemic enzyme therapy? Systemic enzyme therapy is utilizing enzyme supplementation to increase the enzymes throughout your body to assist in restoring the body to health.

What else are enzymes used for? Enzymes are widely used in the food industry. Enzymes are also essential in the manufacture of beer.

Are enzymes considered "anti-inflammatory drugs"? Proteolytic Enzymes are considered anti-inflammatory agents.

What is the recommended dosage of Vitalzym? The recommended dosage to be taken at least 45 minutes prior to or after meals is 3 capsules, once a day. However, since each individual is different, a higher or lower dosage may be appropriate for each individual. It is important to understand each person's "activation" dosage. See the information from Dr. Wong on the activation dosage.

How long before the Vitalzym takes effect? It may depend on the individual's physiological make-up. Everyone is different. Testimonials from some of our customers reported positive effects ranging from 3 days to 2 weeks. Taking the right activation dosage is critical to the success of the product.

What claims do you make about the effectiveness of Vitalzym? The FDA does not allow the nutraceutical industry to make claims about their products without scientific studies being performed that substantiate the claims. Our customers can share their experience with the product but World Nutrition does not make specific claims.

Are there any side effects at all with your product? We currently have no documented evidence of any adverse side effects based on the use of Vitalzym. You should not take this product without the consent of your physician if you are currently taking anti-coagulants, commonly known as blood thinners.

Are there any compatibility issues with other nutraceuticals? No. In fact, since vitamins are coenzymes and minerals are cofactors to enzymes, enzymes are needed in the body for them to be able to have their full effect. In addition, the vitamins and minerals assist the enzymes. Thus, systemic enzyme use enhances the effect of other supplementation programs.

Are there any compatibility issues with any prescribed drugs? Yes. Customers using anti-coagulants, or blood thinners, should not use Vitalzym without the consent of their physician. The enzymes enhance the effects of the blood thinning medications making them stronger.

Why do you call Vitalzym a vegetarian product? The enzymes used in Vitalzym are plant derived with no animal products. This allows everyone, including strict vegetarians, to take Vitalzym. Some enzyme products use ingredients that are derived from bovine (cows).

How does World Nutrition grow their enzymes? Is the process ecologically safe? Does the process use any chemicals? The enzymes in Vitalzym come from two sources; the fruit enzymes along with the Amla and Rutin are from fruit grown in organic plantations, and the protease and serrapeptase are lab grown in a protein (fungus) medium. The enzymes are then extracted from the medium so that not a trace of fungus is left on the enzyme and the purity is assured.

What is serrapeptase and where does it come from? Serrapeptase is a powerful proteolytic enzyme. In Japan, Takada sells serrapeptase as a registered anti-inflammatory medicine under the product name Dazen. Serrapeptase is laboratory grown.

Does weather affect your product? Exposure to heat over 150º for an extended period of time can destroy the enzymes. Store your Vitalzym in a cool, dry place, with the lid of the bottle tightly closed.
