Zymactive Double Strength Formula - 90 Tabs

Zymactive provides a spectrum of protein-digesting enzymes useful in supporting proper digestive function as well as nutritional support for individuals experiencing inflammation or cell growths.

Zymactive is a unique enzyme complex that is more than twice as potent in protein digesting activity as the leading brand. Peptizyme SP, a proprietary enzyme referred to as the "silk worm enzyme" has a more powerful and broader pH stability than chymotrypsin and trypsin. It has been used in Europe and Japan for more than 25 years for inflammation, post-surgical swelling, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ear, nose, and throat disorders, with good clinical research behind it.

What are Enzymes?

Enzymes are catalysts of chemical reactions. This means that they initiate and increase the rate of one or several body processes. Without enzymes, reactions in the body would take place too slowly to maintain life. Digestive enzymes are responsible for breaking down food particles so that they can be absorbed in the intestinal tract and either used for energy or stored for later use.

There are three main categories of digestive enzymes, amylase, protease and lipase. Amylase enzymes digest sugars, for example, like milk sugar is digested by lactase and cane sugar by sucrase. Amylase is found in saliva, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice. Proteases are responsible for breaking down protein. It is found in intestinal and pancreatic juice. Lipases digest fat and are released in the stomach and intestines

What are Pancreatic Enzymes?
Pancreatic enzymes are digestive enzymes that enable the body to properly digest proteins, fats and sugars. They are derived from an animal's pancreas and therefore contains enzymes that work in the intestines (an alkaline environment). Enzymes naturally occur in all raw foods. When referring to the "ripeness" of a food we are talking about its readiness to be eaten. Ripe foods are most abundant in enzymes that are used for digestion. Rancid foods are already being digested by the naturally occurring enzymes. Unfortunately enzymes are destroyed by the cooking and processing of foods. This means that most of the foods the average person consumes are deficient in enzymes. The body must do all of the work to digest the food or, more commonly, foods are improperly digested.
