According to
the article, "For Athletes, Risks From Ibuprofen Use" in The New York
Times by Gretchen Reynolds, "many active people use the painkiller
ibuprofen on an almost daily basis." Whether an athlete is looking to
kill the pain following a strenuous workout or thinking about
preventative care from muscle soreness, it is clear that the risks of
Ibuprofen are much higher than the benefits these athletes are hoping to
experience.
Gretchen
Reynolds states, "a valuable new study joins growing evidence that
ibuprofen and similar anti-inflammatory painkillers taken before a
workout do not offer any benefit and may be causing disagreeable
physical damage instead, particularly to the intestines." She later
says, "the most common side-effect of ibuprofen is gastrointestinal
damage."
Innerzyme Pain & Inflammation Blend
offers a safe, natural, and effective alternative to reduce pain and
inflammation following strenuous workouts or sports injuries without any
harmful side effects.
Innerzyme's
proprietary blend contains Pancreatin, Papain, Bromelain, Trypsin,
Chymotrypsin, Rutin, White Willow Bark and Turmeric root. It is
specially formulated to naturally reduce pain, inflammation, excess
fibrin and the buildup of excess free radicals.
The
delivery system for Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend is an
enteric coated tablet. The enteric coating protects the enzymes from
premature release in the acidic region of the stomach allowing maximum
absorption and optimal release of the proprietary blend in the
pancreatic juices. High potency, minimal dosage with maximum benefit!
When taken on an empty stomach, it is believed that enzymes may help
manage inflammation by supporting healthy blood flow to the irritated
area.
Bromelain is
most notable for its effectiveness in the reduction of inflammation and
decreasing swelling, but the scope of its benefits continues to
increase.* Derived from the pineapple fruit, this natural
anti-inflammatory has many health benefits.
Chymotrypsin is
naturally produced by the pancreas in the human body. The primary uses
of chymotrypsin are as a naturally anti-inflammatory and as a digestive
aid. As a natural anti-inflammatory, chymotrypsin may help reduce
tissue damage and the formation of fibrin clots during inflammation.*
Turmeric is an
herb, an Indian spice that has been used for many years because of its
natural medicinal properties. Turmeric is rich in antioxidants and is a
powerful anti-inflammatory.
Rutin is a
potent bioflavonoid which are water-soluble plant pigments, naturally
occurring chemical compounds important to maintaining optimal health.
They support health by protecting and strengthening capillaries, help
prevent bruising and provide support for many other biological
functions.*

More than 3.9 billion dollars is spent on over-the-counter pain medications annually with acetaminophen being the most commonly used in North America. When taken in higher doses and for prolonged periods of time, acetaminophen has been shown to cause liver damage. Likewise, NSAIDs have been linked to side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, liver damage, stomach ulcers, immune system depression and kidney failure.
Many people today suffer from pain, whether it is back pain, joint pain, neck pain or even knee pain. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives.” While some people experience sporadic pain following overuse or intense activity, others deal with pain on a daily basis, chronic pain. It seems people will try anything if it means they will get out of pain fast.
A matter of fact, did you know that pain is the last indicator that there is a problem? Many people feel pain and they immediately try to think of a recent event that may have caused it. However, pain can surface days, months or even years after the initial cause such as in the case of a car accident. The first reaction following an accident is usually to think that you are fine because there is no immediate pain, however, people are encouraged to still get examined because the trauma to the body can cause pain down the road.
Whether someone is dealing with dull pain, sharp pain, acute pain or chronic pain, the fact is, no one wants to live with pain. Lets face it, it’s a PAIN! Often times it hinders our ability to do what we enjoy whether it be exercising, activities with children or grandchildren or playing a sport. While some people try a more natural route to reduce pain such as Chiropractic or Systemic Enzyme Therapy, others go straight for the prescription pain drugs, with the number one most prescribed being Hydrocodone/acetaminophen. Most people are not thinking, what is this drug doing to my liver over time but instead how fast until this pill is going to kick in. We live in a world of reactive healthcare when people should be focusing on preventative health.
Although many are looking to get out of pain fast, these prescription pain drugs simply mask the problem, cause damage to your liver and can be highly addictive. Sure, prescription pain medicine might seem like a good idea in the short term but long-term use can cause a lot of internal damage. It is time to face the facts instead of thinking out of sight out of mind. Don’t wait for a problem, get ahead of it.
The FDA cites a study conducted in 2005 for Acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure: results of a United States multicenter, prospective study which found over 40 percent of acute liver failure cases over a six year period were caused by acetaminophen overdoses with about half being unintentional. While many people reassure themselves that they have a legit reason to be on prescription painkillers in the first place, they fail to see the long-term effects they have on the body.
We live in a world of instant gratification, take a pill and get results fast. And understandably, those who deal with pain are just looking to get some relief. What is best for your body is not always the first thing they think about. The FDA is really coming down on the high dose of acetaminophen in prescription drugs because of the dangers associated with taking it. In 2009, more than 128 million prescriptions were dispensed for name brand or generic versions of hydrocodone with acetaminophen.
So why else do people turn to prescription pain medication versus taking the natural alternative route? Many might say time and cost! With the current economic factors, people are hesitant and even reluctant to spend fifty to sixty dollars on a high potency natural systemic enzyme supplement, like Innerzyme’s Pain & Inflammation Blend because they compare it to the cost of their $5-$10 prescription copay and determine that is a better value. However, you cannot put a price of good health. What they don’t see is the high price to be paid down the road by taking a shortcut and simply covering up the pain symptoms. In turn, these five to ten dollar prescriptions overtime can have potentially dangerous effects on the liver, gastrointestinal tract and kidneys which can lead to medical bills far surpassing the cost of the natural alternatives.
When is the last time you tried taking systemic enzymes or scheduled an appointment with a chiropractor or naturopath? Have you ever? Are you thinking to yourself, “What is an enzyme?” Well, the truth is, you are not alone! Many people shy away from these natural alternatives or practitioners because they are not familiar with them. Or in the case of a natural health practitioner, they believe once they go one time, they are patients for life. Additionally, someone who has been dealing with back pain for years might try chiropractic once but when they don’t feel better after one adjustment, they call it quits. The back pain didn’t develop overnight so truly working to correct the problem might take more than just a few adjustments. Likewise with systemic enzymes, people are so used to taking a prescription painkiller that starts to kick in within 20-30 minutes that when they try enzymes for a day and don’t feel a major difference, they get discouraged. Systemic enzymes are not blocking the pain; they take time to get in your system and work to get to the root of the pain by naturally reducing inflammation and excess scar tissue.
Did you know that nearly all injuries and operations result in inflammatory reactions and build up of excess scar tissue which causes pain and swelling? It is a natural protective response to injuries and trauma on a cellular level. However, if the inflammation is not resolved or reduced in the acute stage, it can become a chronic inflammatory problem.
When caring for injuries and during recovery following an operation, "it is important to apply medications for reducing the swelling and anti-inflammatory as well as fibrinolytic agents. If possible, such treatment should produce no adverse effects and should further the healing processes of the organism" (Wrba, H. & Pecher, O., Enzymes-A Drug of the Future, pg.75).
When looking at time, again, we live in a fast paced society and people feel they don’t have time to deal with pain in a healthy and safe way such as with systemic enzyme therapy or chiropractic care. Dr. Stephen Gubernick, Chiropractic Physician in Scottsdale, Arizona says,
“I was introduced to Innerzyme about 8 months ago and continue to use it personally as well as with my patients in order to complement their spinal adjustments. The Innerzyme products have been more than helpful. In fact, they have been an important part of my treatment program. I personally take Innerzyme products to not only reduce pain from overuse work stress but also to help me prevent repetitive stress injuries from developing. I am very selective about the products that I take personally and recommend to my patients. I can't recommend the Innerzyme products enough.”
People shy away from natural alternatives because they don’t think they will see results fast enough but correcting a problem takes longer than covering it up. Again, the world would be a healthier place if more time were spent focusing on preventative health rather than reactive health. Natural pain alternatives do exist, however, they are often passed over because of misconceptions. If you really want results, it is important to get to the root of the problem.
A firm believer in disease prevention is Dr. Eli Hammer, Medical Director of The Hammer Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine. With over 25 years of experience as a physician in Arizona, Dr. Hammer made the switch from Family practice to Anti-Aging Medicine. He states,
“Conventional medicine still tends to use pharmaceutical drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen, among many others, to reduce inflammation. However, these synthetic drugs have many side effects, both minor and severe, that often hinder their long term use in many patients. I have used Systemic Enzymes extensively in my practice along with taking them personally for a few years, seeing dramatic reductions in pain and inflammation, and therefore, significant improvements in quality of life. Of all the Systemic Enzyme brands on the market, I truly believe Innerzyme has finally optimized the proper enzyme blend, while also vastly improving upon the delivery system for better efficacy and ease of administration. Innerzyme Pain and Inflammation Blend naturally replenishes the many enzymes the body uses to fight inflammation and aid in the repair of damaged tissue. The results from taking Innerzyme speak for itself.”
Innerzyme’s Pain & Inflammation Blend is revolutionizing the natural supplement market with specially formulated enzyme based supplements that offer a natural, safe and effective alternative to reduce pain, inflammation and scar tissue resulting from sports injuries, overworked muscles/joints and post operative recovery. Innerzyme is highly recommended by athletes and healthcare professionals worldwide for it's optimized enzyme blend, state of the art delivery system and effectiveness.

According to the CDC, "about 50 million adults in the US suffer from some form of arthritis or related inflammatory condition." "Is Bromelain Good For Joints?" by Bonnie Vanaman (May 12, 2011), "U.K. researchers investigated bromelain's effects on joint health in healthy subjects without arthritis but who had knee pain. The results, published in "Phytomedicine" in 2002 showed that a combination of bromelain, trypsin and rutosid significantly improved scores on the WOMAC knee health index in subjects. However, a separate 2006 project in "QJM," the monthly journal of the Association of Physicians, did not find significant improvement in moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis of the knee in subjects using bromelain alone. In that same, year, German scientists published a study in "Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology" showing that the bromelain, trypsin and rutosid combination was as effective as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for treating pain, stiffness and physical function in arthritis of the hip joint."

Bromelain
Bromelain is most notable for its effectiveness in the reduction of inflammation and decreasing swelling, but the scope of its benefits continues to increase.* Derived from the pineapple fruit, this natural anti-inflammatory has many health benefits.
Chymotrypsin
Chymotrypsin is naturally produced by the pancreas in the human body. The primary uses of chymotrypsin are as a naturally anti-inflammatory and as a digestive aid. As a natural anti-inflammatory, chymotrypsin may help reduce tissue damage and the formation of fibrin clots during inflammation.*
Turmeric
Turmeric is an herb, an Indian spice that has been used for many years because of its natural medicinal properties. Turmeric is rich in antioxidants and is a powerful anti-inflammatory. The antioxidant compounds found in turmeric are known as curcuminoids. These compounds have been shown to help reduce the buildup of excess free radicals. They also neutralize existing free radicals by scavenging them. It also has been shown to support healthy liver function, digestion and inflammatory response.* According to David Frawley, PhD, founder and director of the American Institute for Vedic Studies in Santa Fe, N.M., "If I had only one single herb to depend upon for all possible health and dietary needs, I would choose the Indian spice turmeric."
Rutin
Rutin is a potent bioflavonoid which are water-soluble plant pigments, naturally occurring chemical compounds important to maintaining optimal health. They support health by protecting and strengthening capillaries, help prevent bruising and provide support for many other biological functions.*
