Prozyme: Advanced Enzyme Formula
Ultimate Nutrition's Advance Formula Prozyme contains the most important
enzymes that we all need regularly and routinely. The activity of the enzymes in
Advance Formula Prozyme is carefully assessed to ensure that each lot contains
the amounts that the body needs to replenish the lost enzymes.
Enzymes are the workhorses of the body. Enzymes are proteins made in the living
cells from amino acids, which assist in all processes in the body. There are
hundreds of thousands of enzymes constantly changing and renewing themselves
while allowing all tissues, organs and glands to function properly with
clockwork precision.
Each enzyme in the body has a specific task to fulfill. Once activated, an
enzyme will do its sole designated task until its action is no longer needed,
and its action is curtailed. This helps the body to maintain health.
Enzymes are nature's helping hands. Food is the most abundant source of enzymes.
Given that enzymes are quite fragile, they are destroyed during cooking.
Consequently, insufficient amounts of enzymes are ingested. Worse yet, fast
foods and highly refined foods are particularly low in enzymes necessary to
replenish the body's reservoir of enzymes. Enzymes are also broken down,
especially during exercise and intense physical activity, and if the supply of
enzymes is not sufficient in the diet, it could pose health problems over the
long run. In addition, with increasing age, the body loses its ability to
produce its own enzymes to support all biochemical reactions. Thus, the
decreasing supply of enzymes, be it due to poor dietary habits, stressful
lifestyle, intense physical activity or aging, supplemental enzymes become
essential for optimal health.
Extensive research, especially in Europe, has shown that taking supplemental
enzymes boosts the immune system, helps prevent inflammation due to wear and
tear and/or repetitive motion around a joint, and keeps the blood flow normal.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can Enzymes Be taken With Other Nutritional Supplements?
Yes! Enzymes are proteins that are naturally produce in the body. As such, they
do not interfere with any other nutritional supplements and may actually enhance
the effectiveness of other nutrients.
Are There Any Side Effects Associated With Enzymes?
Taken for the first time, enzymes may cause slight flatulence and intestinal
discomfort. These effects resolve themselves within two or three days.
Do Enzymes Lose Their Activity?
Yes, enzymes do tend to lose their activity over long-term storage. Enzymes also
lose activity if exposed to heat or moisture.
Why Does The Body Produce Less Enzymes With Age?
With the aging process, greater metabolic demands are placed on the body. In
addition, with advancing age the body progressively produces lesser and lesser
amounts of enzymes. Therefore, supplemental enzymes may become necessary.
Can Enzymes Be taken With Prescription Drugs?
While enzymes are not expected to interfere with drugs, before a dietary
supplementation with enzymes is started, it is best to seek the advice of the
primary care physician. The physician should be able to determine whether the
enzymes would interfere with the prescribed drugs or not
Do Enzymes Relieve Pain?
Yes! A number of clinical studies have established that dietary enzymes mitigate
the pain and inflammation, such as associated with sports injuries or the pain
caused by repetitive motion, which can cause inflammation and pain due to the
tissue wear and tear. Research shows that dietary enzymes relieve pain in
arthritic joints.
