Digestive enzymes conduct their actions in the stomach to digest food while system enzymes are enterically coated to prevent contact with the stomach acid. This way, they pass through the stomach in to the intestines where they are absorbed into the body.
Primary functions of systemic enzymes:
● Fight inflammation
● Fight fibrosis (scar tissue)
● Modulate the immune system
● Cleanses the blood
● Fight Viruses
Protease (proteolytic enzyme)
The term ‘proteolytic’ refers to all enzymes that digest protein. Other classes of enzymes include Amylase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates and Lipase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down fat during the digestive process. Each of these help in the digestion of food which in turn helps with absorption of those essential nutrients in the diet. In the body, proteolytic digestive enzymes are produced in the pancreas, but supplemental forms of enzymes may come from fungal or bacterial sources, extraction from the pancreas of livestock animals (trypsin/chymotrypsin) or extraction from plants (such as papain from the papaya and Bromelain from pineapples.) The primary uses of proteolytic enzymes in dietary supplements are used as digestive enzymes, anti-inflammatory agents and pain relievers.
There are a number of clinical trials showing the benefit of using oral proteolytic enzymes as a digestive aid. Proteloytic enzymes are also theorized to help reduce symptoms of food allergies and as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.
Perhaps the strongest evidence for benefits of proteolytic enzyme supplements come from numerous European studies showing various enzyme blends to be effective in accelerating recovery from exercise and injury in sportsmen as well as tissue repair inpatients following surgery. In one study of footballers suffering from ankle injuries, proteolytic enzyme supplements accelerated healing and got players back on the field about 50% faster than athletes assigned to receive a placebo tablet (1).
A handful of other small trials in athletes has shown enzymes can help reduce inflammation, speed healing of bruises and other tissue injuries (including fractures) and reduce overall recovery time when compared to athletes taking a placebo(2-8) In patients recovering from facial and various reconstructive surgeries, treatment with proteolytic enzymes significantly reduced swelling, bruising and stiffness compared to placebo groups.
Bromelain and Papain
Both Bromelain and Papain are plant-derived proteolytic enzymes. Bromelain, also know as bromelin, is a protein-digesting enzyme extracted from the flesh and stem of the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus. Papain is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the papaya plant, Carica papaya. Bromelain is most notable for its effectiveness in the reduction of inflammation and decreasing swelling, but the scope of its benefits continues to increase.
As a natural anti-inflammatory enzyme, bromelain has many uses. Arthritis patients may reduce the swelling that causes joint pain by taking bromelain. Bromelain may also be helpful for the pain, numbness, tingling, aching and loss of motor and sensory function in the fingers, resulting from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Prevention of the adhesiveness of platelets to endothelial cell walls was accomplished with o.1 of doses, and even small amounts may be beneficial to anyone at risk to thrombotic heart attack or stroke. Papain has been shown to be effective in preventing burn would infection and helping remove dead cells. Papain is also used for the following:
● Defibrinating wounds in hospitals
● Preventing corea scar deformation
● Used in treatments of jellyfish and insect stings
● To treat edemas, inflammatory processes, and in the acceleration of wound healing
● In low doses as an indigestion medicine
Papain has been used to treat ulcers, dissolve membranes in diphtheria and reduce swelling, fever and adhesion after surgery.
Amylase and Lipase -- Digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates and fats, respectively.
Serrapeptase -- Serrapeptase is a peptidase that is used worldwide as an anti-inflammatory enzyme, replacing bovine-derived trypsin and chymotrypsin. Serrapeptase, also known as Serratia peptidase, is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the non-pathogenic enterobacteria Serratia E15. The enzyme is found naturally in the intestine of the silkworm, which is used by the silkworm to dissolve the cocoon and emerge as a moth. When consumed in unprotected tablets or capsules, the enzyme is destroyed by acid in the stomach. However, when enterically coated, the enzyme passes through the stomach unchanged and can be absorbed into the intestine.
It has many clinical uses including:
● as an anti-inflammatory agent (particularly for post traumatic swelling)
● for Birocystic breast disease
● for Bronchitis (Serrapeptase loosens and expels mucous)
Serrapeptase digests dead tissue, blood clots, cysts, and arterial plaque. The late German physician, Dr. Hans Nieper, used serrapeptase to treat arterial blockages in his coronary patients. Clinical studies show that serrapeptase induces fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and anti-edemic (prevents selling and fluid retention) activity in a number of tissues, and that its anti-inflammatory effects are superior to other proteolytic enzymes. Besides reducing inflammation, one of serrapeptase’s most profound benefits is reduction of pain, due to its ability to block the release of pain-inducing amines from inflames tissues. Physicians throughout Europe and Asia have recognized the anti-inflammatory and pain-blocking benefits of this naturally-occurring substance and are using it in treatment as an alternative to salicylates, ibuprofen and other NSAIDS.
Amla
Also known as Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis), is the richest source of Vitamin C. It also contains tannic acid, glucose, protein, cellulose and calcium. Amla is useful for stomach problems, it is antipyretic, hair tonic and never brain tonic. It’s also useful in anemia, hyperacidity and in gynecological problems and epistaxis. Amla is considered to have restorative and preventive properties.
Rutin
Rutin is one of the many existing flavonoids. Flavonoids are a class of water-soluble plant pigments. Flavonoids support health by strengthening capillaries and other connective tissue, and some function as anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic and antiviral agents. Rutin and several other flavonoids may also protect blood vessels. Rutin was shown to stimulate wound healing in rats and augment the tensile strength of scar tissue significantly.
As a dietary supplement, take 3 capsules, 1 to 3 times daily. Take capsules at least 30 minutes before a meal, 60 minutes after a meal, or any time in-between meals. Or, take an activation dosage as recommended by a health care professional. Store in a cool, dry place with lid tightly closed.
When Vitalzym kicks in, there will be no doubt in your mind that it is working! An activation dose is the amount of enzymes you need to begin to feel a benefit from the product. The recommended dosage given on the label is meant as a maintenance dose for those without any complaints. Consumers with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Arthritis, Auto Immune conditions, Fibrosis complaints and Inflammation symptoms need to find the dose at which they begin to feel better. They can then maintain that dose, or after three months, try to reduce the dose and see if the benefits are still felt.
Finding the right dose for you: Start taking 3 capsules, 3 times a day, in between meals. If, in 3 days no benefits are felt, increase the dose to 4 capsules, 3 times a day for 3 days. Continue increasing the number of tablets or capsules taken until a benefit is felt. Most will feel the Vitalzym kick in somewhere between 3 and 5, 3 times a day.
There is no toxicity from enzymes, (no LD-50). Some customers who have suffered accidents have been placed on 10 Vitalzym capsules 3 times a day by their doctors for a few weeks until the bulk of their inflammation and its resultant pain are gone. Then they are brought down to a much lower maintenance dose to prevent the formation of scar tissue.
The dose listed on the label is the maintenance dose for those without complaints. The therapeutic doses listed below are generalizations or what has worked for most consumers of Vitalzym with those conditions. Your final activation dose may vary. Please refer to the section above, Finding Your Activation Dose.

Systemic enzymes have many and varied uses. Most folks are familiar with the controlling of inflammation, fibrosis and the like, but many don’t realize that the enzymes can also help the liver get rid of the toxins it’s been holding onto.
Our livers are the filters of the body. They remove toxic material and either release it into the colon for disposal or store the toxins in the fat cells of the liver. If the liver’s fat cells are already overburdened with toxins, then the organ will create fat cells elsewhere in the body to store the toxins in. Most folks who have never had a liver detox reaction or done purposeful liver detox, have bits of toxic material from pollution, medication and recreational drug use socked away in their livers that has been building up their entire life.
A few natural therapies can cause the liver to dump its store of held toxins:
● Colon Hydrotherapy
● Green foods and drinks which are high in sulfur
● Fasting
●Systemic enzymes use
When liver detox reactions happen they are in fact good things though at times the process does not feel good. Feelings of having a body flu, headache, nausea, skin rash, bad breath or body odor can occur. If narcotic or hallucinogenic drug use has been part of the patient’s history, then sometimes, as the tiny bits of those substances are released into the blood stream for disposal, symptoms of being on the drugs may once again occur.
The bad feelings develop as a result of the colon not being able to get rid of the toxins as fast as the liver excretes them. All detox reactions should be expedited to assist the body in getting rid of the toxins. The following can be done:
● Use of a natural liver-cleansing agent as those available in heath food stores
● Use of colon hydrotherapy
● Increasing the ingestion of green foods and drinks
● Increasing water intake
● Increase magnesium intake to over 2,000 mg a day
In addition, decreasing the amount of enzymes being supplemented can slow the rate of detox.
Live detoxing reactions are a beneficial cleansing for the body. They might not feel great while we’re going through them, but it will help us to have squeaky-clean insides.
