WHAT ARE SYSTEMIC ENZYMES?
Systemic enzymes, or proteolytic systemic oral enzymes like MedizymŽ, are
involved in almost every metabolic process in the human body, especially helping
the human body to maintain healthy inflammation and immune activity levels.
Many people use proteolytic systemic oral enzymes or PSOEs as non-drug
all-natural and safe support to protect all organs of the body, including skin,
kidneys, and liver, from scarring.
Enzymes seem to help maintain normal growth factor activities, too. When
these activity levels rise, so do scarring and fibrosis. Studies show
proteolytic systemic oral enzymes reduce levels of transforming growth
factor-beta.
BENEFITS OF PSOE's
More than 1000 experimental and clinical studies on proteolytic systemic oral
enzymes show that they offer remarkable health benefits. In Europe, where
enzymes are sold as over the counter preparations in pharmacies, doctors
prescribe them to people who are seeking to support their freedom from
inflammatory maladies, like arthritis. People take them to maintain a healthy
heart, to protect their liver and kidneys from scarring, to keep their joints'
inflammation low normal; to lower their risk for inflammation-linked conditions
affecting the heart, kidneys, and liver. Women frequently use PSOEs to maintain
healthy breasts since some conditions are mediated by inflammatory markers. Many
more millions of people, including thousands of the world's greatest athletes,
especially in Europe, use these systemic miracles for sports injuries and to
support training, since they support normal rapid healing and less scarring. So
their benefits are truly diverse and well supported by published studies in both
the United States and Europe.
HOW DO ENZYMES WORK?
Enzymes are proteins in living organisms that catalyze most chemical reactions
or even permit reactions that otherwise would not happen, while the enzymes
themselves end up unchanged. Enzymes therefore are catalysts and can act
repeatedly doing the same thing.
Enzymes are responsible for every bodily function. Even thinking requires
enzymes. All living organisms (bacteria, fungi, plants, animals) manufacture
high amounts of different enzymes. There are two primary classes of enzymes:
metabolic and digestive.
WHAT ARE ENZYMES GOOD FOR?
In the United States Medizym is regulated as a dietary supplement and no
claims to cure, treat, or diagnose diseases are allowed. However, other related
formulas have obtained orphan drug status from the Food and Drug Administration
for the treatment of multiple myeloma patients since clinical studies its
ability to prolong survival. In addition, Phlogenzym has been studied versus
NSAIDs among arthritis patients with excellent results and these presented at
conferences. Thus, in the United States, enzymes are indeed recognized as an
actual treatment
In Europe, enzymes have been used in many clinical trials and is sold as a
type of "drug" in pharmacies, in fact second only to aspirin in terms of sales
there. But, again, this is not a drug. Think of Medizym as healthy support in
addition to what your treating doctor might recommend. That's really how it is
often best used.
I mentioned earlier since the 1950s, more than 700 clinical trials have been
performed on enzymes that have shown them to be truly a preventive medicine of
the future. Some of the really interesting areas for modern health include
osteoarthritis, sport injuries and as healthy support for diabetes,
endometriosis, prostatitis, shingles, and dental surgery.
METABOLIC ENZYMES
Metabolic enzymes are responsible for the structuring, repair and remodeling of
every cell and tissue. The body is stressed to supply sufficient enzymes for
optimal health.
DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
Digestive enzymes function as biological catalysts in our food, helping to break
down protein (proteinases), carbohydrates (amylases) and fats (lipases).
PROTEASES
Medizym contains proteases, which refers to a group of enzymes whose catalytic
function is to hydrolyze (breakdown) peptide bonds of proteins. They are also
called proteolytic enzymes or proteinases. Examples of proteases include:
bromelain, chymotrypsin, lumbrokinase, nattokinase, papain, pepsin, Seaprose,
trypsin, serrapeptidase, or subtilisin. Raw and fermented foods like honey,
vegetables, fruits and yogurt provide proteolytic enzymes, which may be absorbed
internally.
Bromelain
One of the key enzymes in Medizym is bromelain, derived from the pineapple
plant. Known as Ananas comosus, bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme which has been
known chemically since 1876. Pineapple has been used as a medicinal plant in
several native cultures. The pineapple plant is shown to contain distinct
cystein proteinases. Two major proteinases present in extracts of the plant are,
the stem bromelain found in the stem and the fruit bromelain found in the fruit.
Two additional cystein proteinases are only in the stem: ananain and comosain.
Stem bromelain, fruit bromelain and ananain are immunologically distinct.
Papain
Papain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes (protein cleaving enzymes) derived
from the juice of the unripe fruit of the tropical plant Carica papaya, commonly
known as Papaya.
Trypsin and Chymotrypsin
Trypsin, chymotrypsin and the enzyme mixture pancreatin are actual
pancreatic-sourced enzymes that are porcine and calf derived.
Rutin
Also known as rutosid, quercetin-3-rutinoside or sophorin, rutin is a citrus
bioflavonoid found in buckwheat and the fruit of the Fava D'Anta tree from
Brazil and other sources. In Medizym, rutin is of Sophora japonica origin. Rutin
strengthens the capillaries, and therefore can reduce the symptoms of
hemophilia. It also may help to prevent a common unpleasant-looking venous edema
of the legs. Rutin, as ferulic acid, can reduce the cytotoxicity of oxidized LDL
cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease. Unofficially, the major
researchers involved with Medizym consider rutin to be a synergist to the other
enzymes, perhaps improving systemic circulation and helping them to reach their
target sites, playing a synergizing role.
Inflammation Oriented for Modern Health Challenges
In all of these inflammatory conditions, clinical studies document the use
of the enzymes in Medizym, providing strong evidence for its ability to safely
maintain healthy CRP.

HEALTHY SUPPORT FOR YOUR BODY
In Europe, enzymes have been used in many clinical trials and is sold as a type
of "drug" in pharmacies, in fact second only to aspirin in terms of sales there.
But, again, this is not a drug. Think of Medizym as healthy support in addition
to what your treating doctor might recommend. That's really how it is often best
used.
How does Medizym reach all parts of the body?
As you will see, the enzymes bromelain, papain, trypsin and chymotrypsin are
part of our nutrition. Normally, after ingestion, most of these enzymes would be
disturbed in our stomach by acid environments and digestive enzymes. Proprietary
technologies have made its possible for the enzymes from Medizym to survive in
the highly purified form needed to benefit organs and tissue. Once stabilized in
tablet form, the enzymes must be protected with an acid-stable film to withstand
the gastric juices of the stomach, so that they can enter the upper intestine in
a biologically active form where they were adsorbed.
How much of the enzymes are absorbed?
We know that even at best right now only five to ten percent of the ingested
enzymes from Medizym reach the blood by persorption. That means that enzyme
molecules pass the cell and between the cells to enter into the blood stream.
SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDIZYM
Some people react with heavy gas formations and diarrhea. In this case, the
dose should be initially reduced. Noticeable is also the altered scent of the
defecation. A further, often observed and surely very positive side effect is an
advance in the general well being.
Contraindications
In principle, use of Medizym has no side effects; after all, the enzymes
from Medizym are parts of our nourishment. There are, in fact, a few exceptions:
- Individuals who are allergic to pineapples should not take Medizym because
it contains bromelain which is derived from pineapples.
- People who take blood thinners should consult their physician.
- Hemophiliacs should not take Medizym.
- Patients with pulmonary emphysema should not take Medizym.
- Patients with thrombocytopenia (< 80,000) should not take Medizym.
- Before surgery such as hip or gynaecological surgeries, it would be best
to consult with your doctor before taking Medizym.
DOSING INFORMATION
For general maintenance Medizym's recommended dosage is:
three (3) tablets, two (2) times per day.
During an acute inflammation, higher doses of about 6 to 10 pills 3 times a
day are preferable. After 2 or 3 days, the dose then may be reduced to 6 pills 2
times a day and then reduce to 6 pills once a day.
During a chronic inflammation, a high dose of 6 pills 3 times a day for 2
weeks should be taken and continued with 6 pills 2 times a day.
