What are digestive and systemic enzymes?
Supplemental digestive enzymes have rapidly gained acceptance. Supplemental
systemic enzymes, which are not as well known, show tremendous promise
in treating many health conditions. Digestive and systemic enzyme supplements
contain the same types of enzymes, but differ in three functional areas:
when the supplement should be taken, the composition of the protease
blend and the potencies of the protease used in the supplement. Enzymes
taken with food are completely dedicated to the digestive process. However,
enzymes taken on an empty stomach can be absorbed intact into the bloodstream,
where they appear to help restore and maintain healthy blood and tissue
functions. Although lipase and amylase are occasionally recommended
for systemic use, the research has shown that proteolytic enzymes given
on an empty stomach can have a beneficial effect on immune and inflammatory
processes.
Enzymes, Inc. uses different blends of the various acidic, alkaline
and neutral proteases, depending upon the intended purpose of each product.
It is well documented protease acts differently in the tissues of the
body than it does in the digestive tract. This means, to achieve maximum
health benefits, a different blend of proteases should be used in systemic
products compared to digestive products. Yet most other systemic protease
products on the market contain the same protease blend found in digestive
products. In addition, the amount of protease needed for systemic activity
is often much greater than that needed for digestion |

Systemic Enzymes
While protease is present in digestive enzyme formulations and taken
with meals, protease has also shown to have beneficial effects on
immune and inflammatory processes. and when taken one hour before
or two hours after meals – on an empty stomach.
Probiotics
To optimize the ability of the body to assimilate nutrients, in
addition to improving the function of enzymes, healthy intestinal
flora is recommended. Taking a probiotic supplement will help to
restore beneficial bacteria to the digestive system. For optimum
efficacy, probiotic supplements should be taken on an empty stomach.
Look for these key strains in a highly effective probiotic supplement.
