–Dr. Edward Howell, MD

Genuine N*Zimes is the original line of enzyme based nutritional supplements developed by enzyme research pioneer Dr. Edward Howell. His book, Enzyme Nutrition – The Food Enzyme Concept is considered by many to be the definitive work on the subject.

Dr. Howell’s premise, The Enzyme Nutrition Axiom, succinctly explains the modern concept of enzyme therapy: "The length of life is inversely proportional to the rate of exhaustion of the enzyme potential of an organism. The increased use of food enzymes promotes a decreased rate of exhaustion of the enzyme potential".

Enzymes, Inc. was founded to distribute products manufactured by Dr. Howell’s National Enzyme Company. We are proud of our direct connection to Dr. Howell’s original research and honored to continue distribution of his original digestive enzyme formulas.

While enzyme supplements have grown in potency, the Genuine N*Zimes lines of powdered and encapsulated enzyme supplements remain effective tools in obtaining better health through improved digestion.

Equine Nutrition and Genuine N*Zimes

In addition to use in human nutrition, Dr. Howell’s Extra Strength Formula 10 is used by equine enthusiasts as an integral part of obtaining optimal nutrition, and improving the overall health and well being of their horses.

In her Healthy Horse Hints columns, in Natural Horse Magazine and Dallas Equine Times, natural horse aficionado Shari Frederick has endorsed the use of Extra Strength Formula 10 powdered enzyme supplement in equine care:

"Prepared enzyme blends for horses are available of the counter, for example Genuine N-Zimes Formula 10 powder…developed by Dr. Edward Howell, the doctor who discovered the importance of food enzymes. It contains a balanced vegetarian blend of fungal-based protease, amylase, lipase, and cellulase, fed at the rate of 3-4 teaspoons per meal per 1000 lbs to give your horse the supplemental enzymes he needs to relieve his body of the excess burden of digesting processed feed."
