Your Enzyme Potential

Do I have an infinite supply of enzymes?
No. Until recently, many within the scientific community labored under the misconception that the digestive enzymes in our body are constant and last forever; that they can be used and reused; that they never get old and never wear out.

Researchers now know that we lose digestive enzymes through sweat and body waste. Through constant use, enzymes lose their strength and ability to do their work. As we age, the organs responsible for producing our digestive enzymes become less efficient. Today's environmental pollution, overly processed fast foods, genetically modified food, and microwave cooking can result in free radical damage, which lowers the body's effectiveness to produce enzymes. To offset this loss, we need to supplement our system with oral digestive enzymes.

What happens when we start to run low on enzymes?
Here's the bottom line. Many illnesses and health conditions are the result of a digestive malfunction causing toxemia inside of the body. This malfunction is the result of not enough DIGESTIVE ENZYMES to properly digest and metabolize nutrients. Significant short- and long-term health problems could develop when these nutrients are not digested.

Some lifestyle problems like high blood pressure, kidney disease, liver problems, indigestion and heartburn, adult onset diabetes, fibromyalgia, migraines, PMS, even hyperactivity in children, often have their starting point in nutritional problems.

When our body is stressed by a shortage of digestive enzymes two things can happen and both are bad:

1. Our body continues to work overtime to create the needed enzymes required to digest our food. This extra stress adversely affects our immune system and lowers our ability to protect ourselves from and fight off disease.

2. Because our body finally becomes so overworked, it can't make enough enzymes to properly digest our food. As this undigested food begins to pollute our body, the chances of chronic disease increase.

Supplemental digestive enzymes will deliver the necessary nutrients to fortify your body and can enhance your body's healing system often resulting in improved overall health and vitality.

What can I do to maintain my enzyme levels?
You don't need to be in this predicament and there are some ways to stay out of it. Now that you know you are running out of enzymes you can eliminate this problem quickly.

The digestive enzymes you need for the process of restoring and maintaining your health are available through the Enzyme Essentials E-Club. The E-Club is an Enzyme-Based Nutrition System designed to deliver a monthly supply of the supplemental digestive enzymes, essential nutrients, and antioxidants you will normally need to digest your food properly and put you on the path to optimum health.

The Basic E-Club is comprised of OxiCellZyme and Plantadophilus. When taken consistently, this combination of OxiCellZyme, a good digestive enzyme with essential nutrients and antioxidants, and Plantadophilus, a highly active probiotic that helps control the pH balance in the lower intestinal tract, can put you on the road to a long-term health and wellness program designed to exceed every other vitamin and nutritional supplement program on the market today. Join the E-Club.

If you choose not to initially join the E-Club, but want to order our high-quality digestive enzymes, you can do that too. Order enzymes.

Are there certain enzymes I can take for special health conditions?
Here are some digestive enzymes designed to address specific problems or conditions.

  • If chronic indigestion, heartburn, or gastric distress is an ongoing problem you may find relief using GastroZyme which includes enzymes and herbs to support the healing and repair of the GI tract.
  • If you experience nervousness, anxiety, and often have difficulty sleeping, then CalmZyme is an excellent all natural, non-habit-forming alternative.
  • Irregularity, constipation, diarrhea may be alleviated with only two to three ReleaseZyme capsules per day to provide a natural way to regularity.
  • For those who have extra difficulty digesting fats (lipids), a situation often associated with high cholesterol, heart disease, and obesity, then LypoZyme should be considered with particularly heavy and fatty meals.
  • For those people who are serious about a weight control program, then BalanceZyme Plus can assist in balancing and suppressing your appetite. This excellent product should be taken immediately (15-30 minutes) prior to a meal. It is also often used in conjunction with LypoZyme.
  • As you may know, extensive studies and research on soy have discovered remarkable and wide-ranging benefits to good health. Soy's beneficial health properties have proven successful in alleviating many hormonal-related issues (such as hot flashes), preventing bone density loss, reducing some cancer tumors, lowering cholesterol levels, and promoting cardiovascular health to name just a few. SoyZyme is an enzyme-based supplement containing soy's most highly researched isoflavone, genistein, and a high powered hydrolytic enzyme blend of proteases. Combined, these two substances provide a beneficial immune system enhancer along with the healthy benefits associated with soy. SoyZyme is equally applicable for both men and women. Due to its importance as a daily supplement, SoyZyme can be ordered at a reduced price as part of the Enhanced E-Club Option or can be ordered individually.

All of these products can be ordered online and are available to both E-Club members and non-members.
