The immune system is constantly challenged with protecting the body from environmental threats. Almost all of these threats have a protein component that the immune system must identify and then break down.
Enzymes can break down undigested food protein, cellular debris and toxins in the blood. Research has shown that oral proteases, taken as a dietary supplement on an empty stomach, are absorbed and carried into the blood stream where they are bound to plasma proteins known as Alpha-II-macroglobulin.1 Recent research also indicates that the oral proteases bound to these plasma proteins are able to break down harmful protein-based invadersin the blood.2
Enzyme Defense is not an “immune stimulator,” rather a supporter of healthy immune function.
Thera-blend is an exclusive process that combines multiple strains of enzymes that work in specific pH levels, resulting in superior performance in the body. The unique Enzyme Defense formulas includes Enzymedica’s Protease Thera-blend that helps break down protein intruders in the bloodstream and Catalase, an enzyme that provides powerful antioxidant properties. This enzyme neutralizes harmful free radicals. Rounding out the Enzyme Defense formulas are Mucolase and Serrapeptase. These enzymes encourage circulation, digest mucus and support systemic health.
The immune system is constantly faced with the challenge of protecting the body from environmental threats. Nearly all threats contain a protein component that the immune system must identify and break down. Enzymes that break down protein (proteolytic) can support this immune process. When the immune system is functioning optimally, systemic health is enhanced.
Enzyme Defense contains an enzyme blend that provides support to purify the body and assist in removing proteins that do not belong in the bloodstream. This allows the immune system to focus on areas of need. Additional enzymes are included to break down excess mucus and promote healthy circulation.
