The Critical Value of Digestive Enzymes: How Proper Digestive Health is Related to Weight-Management.

Although is ideal to get natural enzymes and nutrients from the foods you eat, dietary intake, the modern food supply is heavily lacking nutrient rich foods.  The fast-paced lifestyle today lends itself to highly processed, packaged foods which lack these essential nutrients the body needs to function properly.  Many of these foods are foreign to the body and can not only create gastrointestinal stress but also inflammation which is the source of many health issues.  Food should not only provide nutrients but also be the source of energy to get you throughout the day.  

If your body does not properly break down the foods you eat into small enough substrates, these foods are unable to serve their purpose.  Undigested foods can create toxins in the body which can then lead to many unpleasant and uncomfortable digestive health problems. This is why more and more people are turning to digestive enzyme supplementation to ensure the body is properly breaking down the foods and reducing inflammation starting in the gut.


 

Obesity is becoming an epidemic and health issues are on the rise.  According to the article, "Obesity Linked to Increased Death Risks" by Sean Patterson, "Obesity has already been tied to a wide range of health problems, including cognitive decline" (1). 

Proper weight management begins with your food intake and the bodies ability to properly break down the fats, carbohydrates and proteins into substrates the body could use for energy.  Improving your overall health involves changing your lifestyle, not just diet. There are three key factors:  Exercise, Food Intake (Diet), and Nutritional Supplementation.

According to the National Institute of Health, 60 to 70 million people in America suffer from some type of digestive disorder.  People who suffer from poor digestive health are commonly linked to:
  • Low Energy
  • Excessive Gas
  • Poor Skin Health
  • Joint Pain & Discomfort (Inflammation)
  • Bloating Following Meals
  • Weight Gain
  • Weak Immune System
  • Headaches
  • Heartburn

Innerzyme's Digestive Enzyme Complex is a vegetarian blend of enzymes designed to support proper digestion and the release of vital nutrients.  Supplementing your diet with digestive enzymes allows you to reduce the stress placed on the stomach from processed foods and meals high in fat, sodium and calories. Although raw foods contain enzymes, most people do not have a raw food diet so they lack the enzymes needed to ensure fats, carbohydrates and proteins are efficiently broken down and nutrients absorbed.  Enzymes are a vital element in the human body.  When taking digestive enzymes with a meal, your body has the ability to break down the food into small substrates that can be utilized for energy production throughout the day.

If you experience gas, bloating or occasional heartburn following meals then your body is not properly breaking down the foods you are eating.  When foods are not broken down small enough to digest, they become toxic in the body.  Implementing Innerzyme's Digestive Enzyme Complex before a meal will provide the support you need to naturally relieve these uncomfortable symptoms caused by undigested or partially digested foods.


Be conscious of the foods you eat and help support your digestive health by adding a well-balanced digestive enzyme to your daily regimen.

Enzymes and Aging...Why Daily Aches and Pains Don't Need to Be a Part of Getting Older.


Many people deal with daily aches and pains that they feel are just part of getting older.  However, many factors that people contribute to the normal aging process can be avoided through preventative care. Think preventative, not reactive when it comes to your health. 

For most healthy individuals, the body naturally produces an optimal amount of enzymes until a person reaches about the age of 30.  Enzymes are a vital part of life.  Enzymes are responsible for nearly thousands of chemical reactions within the human body that are associated with metabolic function, digestion, detoxification, immune system support and natural healing.  When a person is lacking enzymes or enzyme deficient, the body is unable to rid itself of excess tissue, toxins and debris from our cells, which in turn advances the aging process and can lead to many health issues.

Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend is a well-balanced systemic enzyme supplement that naturally helps replenish the different enzymes the body needs to fight inflammation and aid in the repair of damaged tissues.*  These specially formulated enzymes are different from digestive enzymes that break down food in the stomach.  Unfortunately, the blood levels of these systemic enzymes that we rely on to keep our bodies healthy start to decrease around the age of 30.  This is why majority of people will often greatly benefit from daily supplementation.

Systemic enzymes, like Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend, are most notably known for five main functions:
  1. Natural Anti-inflammatory*
  2. Anti-Fibrin*
  3. Blood Cleansing*
  4. Immune System Support*
  5. Virus Fighting*
Innerzyme offers high potency, state of the art formulations with a new and improved enteric-coated delivery system to ensure improved absorption and dispersion.  Its proprietary blend contains pancreatin, bromelain, trypsin, chymotrypsin and rutin.  It is also enhanced with white willow bark and turmeric which is a herb with proven health benefits used for many years to reduce the build up of excess free radicals while supporting healthy liver function and inflammatory response.*

Bromelain is most notable for its effectiveness in the reduction of inflammation and decreasing swelling although the scope of its benefits continues to increase.  Studies have shown it is beneficial in reducing the clumping of platelets, which are small plate-like bodies in the blood, the formation of plaques in the arteries and the formation of blood clots which are all important factors when looking at preventative care of cardiovascular disease.*

See how adding Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend as a daily supplement can help support your overall health goals.
