Natural Pain Remedy | 4 a day keeps the PAIN at bay.


Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend is a comprehensive blend of proteolytic enzymes, herbs and bioflavonoids.  It is enhanced with Turmeric and White Willow Bark.  

Systemic Enzymes Have 5 Main Functions:

  1. Natural Anti-inflammatory
  2. Anti-Fibrin
  3. Blood Cleansing
  4. Immune System Modulating
  5. Virus Fighting 
Are you living with pain?  Whether you suffer from daily pain or just overworked your body with strenuous activity, Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend helps your body respond to pain and swelling safely and effectively.*  

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.

Would taking Innerzyme Pain & Inflammation Blend be a good idea for a recent knee injury?

Yes! One thing to remember is that nearly every injury has an inflammatory component that when left untreated creates an immense amount of pain.  Also, when injuries in the knee begin to heal, there is a natural protection by the body to create scar tissue, however, excess scar tissue buildup is often the source of pain for many people down the road from previous injuries.

With that said, someone who is suffering from a recent sports injury could benefit from taking Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend.  A little about Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend and enzymes in general.  Innerzyme's Pain & Inflammation Blend is a systemic enzyme meaning it is working throughout the body.  The specific enzymes in this formula are different from our other enzyme blends that focus on digestive health.   

Systemic enzymes have 5 primary functions:
  1. Natural Anti-inflammatory which will assist in reducing the inflammation and swelling in your knee.*
  2. Anti-Fibrin which will reduce any excess scar tissue that forms during the healing process alleviating tenderness and pain.*
  3. Blood Cleansing which means any toxins or fibrin in the blood as a result of your injury will be removed.*
  4. Immune System Modulating which will support health and metabolic functions during repair.*
  5. Virus Fighting meaning enzymes break down protein walls of viruses inhibiting their replication which boosts health and ability to fight off infections.*
As for the question, what are enzymes?  They are biocatalysts or proteins naturally produced in the body until about the age of 30.  They are responsible for over 3000 chemical reactions within the body.  In other words, your body cannot properly function which includes healing without enzymes.  As you get older, the body becomes enzyme deficient making the recovery time longer and longer and also making the body more susceptible to injury or illness.  A good example of enzymes at work is to think about when a young child falls and sustains an injury, cut, or scratch.  They heal a lot quicker than someone in their 40s, 50s or 60s simply because their body has an adequate amount of enzymes to attack the area of injury right away to reduce pain, inflammation and excess scar tissue.

As far as recommended dosage, 4 a day is ideal as a maintenance dose or for ongoing preventative care.  Since this injury is recent, healthcare practitioners recommend 4 tablets twice daily for sports injuries and chronic pain patients.  If this is the first time you have ever taken enzymes, it is important to increase your water intake as your body is will be going through a sort of healing crisis as the enzymes work to reduce and eliminate inflammation, swelling and the excess scar tissue that is the ultimate culprit of pain.

Innerzyme, when taken correctly and given an adequate amount of time to work, it is very effective. Plus, it is a drug free, all natural formula so there are no side effects or concern about damaging the organs.  The only caution with this supplement is for people taking blood thinners simply because Innerzyme helps cleanse the blood and with cleaner blood you have improved absorption and so there is a chance you a person would experience a heightened result from blood thinning medication. If this does not apply to you, then you have nothing to worry about.

Since Innerzyme is enhance with Tumeric and White Willow Bark, which are two powerful anti-inflammatory agents, many people do experience some relief rather quickly.  However, to really get to the source of the problem and naturally restore the bodies healing mechanisms, healthcare professionals would recommend staying on the 4 tablets twice daily for the next 3 weeks.  From that point, you can determine if you are feeling a lot better and want to lower it to 4 a day or maintain the 8 tablets.  Since you are looking to get back into training, you can adjust your dosage as needed following the initial few weeks.  If you are experiencing a lot of pain or soreness following your workout or training regimen, you can safely increase the dose back up for a few days.

More dangers associated with the use of Acetaminophen which is commonly found in over the counter and prescription pain medicine.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2013/08/02/new-acetaminophen-warning-why-now/
By Katie Jodscheidt, CPT – National Academy of Sports Medicine

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.

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.

Health Risks From Ibuprofen Use - Innerzyme Pain & Inflammation Blend, a Safe, Natural & Effective Alternative for Pain and Inflammation, Systemic Enzyme Formula



Before you take Ibuprofen again, you should know the health risks! Innerzyme offers a safe, natural and effective alternative to help support reduction in pain and inflammation following exercise, strenuous activity or injury. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/05/for-athletes-risks-from-ibuprofen-use/?ref=health&_r=0 

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."

To read the full article: For Athletes, Risks From Ibuprofen Use by Gretchen Reynolds on December 5, 2012 (The New York Times)

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.*
