This dietary supplement provides a synergistic blend of vegetarian protein-degrading enzymes (proteases)
plus catalase that work to help protect tissues and support recovery from the inflammatory response. While
proteases are most commonly known for their essential function in digestion of protein during a meal, they
also serve a much larger role as modulators of inflammatory processes that can affect tissue health throughout
the body. Inflammation is a normal response after injury, infection, or exposure to allergens, but prolonged
inflammation may result in chronic pain and permanent tissue damage. By breaking down proteins and cellular
debris generated during inflammation, proteases in this formulation improve circulation and help speed healing
and restore balance to affected tissues.
• Serratia peptidase: Serratia peptidase is a highly active and well-documented protease used to assist
recovery after surgery or trauma, support joint function, and assist the respiratory system in breaking down
and clearing mucous. Serratia peptidase is a highly purified enzyme derived from Serratia bacteria.
• Bromelain: Bromelain is a mixture of proteases naturally derived from pineapple which modulate the
inflammatory process. Bromelain is well-documented for its efficacy in regulating inflammatory responses
and has been used in trauma, arthritis, and other situations involving swelling and edema formation.
• Papain: Papain is a naturally-occurring enzyme derived from papaya and is extensively used to modulate
inflammatory processes and aid dietary protein digestion.
•Catalase:Theinflammatoryresponsemechanismischaracterizedbythepresenceofpowerfulimmunecells
that release chemicals injurious to the body’s own tissues. Catalase functions to protect tissues against
destructive immune secreting chemicals and promote tissue
repair processes.
