Ingredients Found in Nature
An exclusive proprietary blend of several different types of proteases to help break down different protein bonds under a range of pH and temperature conditions. These proteases are derived from both plant and microbial sources to increase both versatility and efficacy.*
A class of enzymes that help break down fats into fatty acids. Lipases are found in humans, animals, plants and microbes. The fatty acids produced by lipase are used for the body’s essential functions like energy, cell function, organ protection and nutrient absorption.* Rutin
A bioflavonoid commonly found in plants, fruits and vegetables. Bioflavonoids are ubiquitous in plants and commonly consumed in the human diet through fruits, vegetables and herbs. Flavonoids like rutin have various biological activities and potential health benefits, including antioxidant, inflammation, cardioprotective and neuroprotective support.*
A class of enzymes that help break down starches into simpler sugars, aiding digestion and immune health. Amylases are found in humans, animals, plants and microbes. Biofilms, the slimy protective homes produced by bacteria, can degrade with amylases, helping the body strip the bacteria of its protective armor. The simpler sugars produced by amylase are used as a quick and efficient energy source for cellular functions. Glucose, one key byproduct of starch breakdown, is particularly crucial for brain function and physical activity.*
A crucial antioxidant enzyme that helps break down hydrogen peroxide, a toxic oxidative byproduct of our metabolic processes, into harmless water and oxygen. Catalase helps protect cells from the oxidative damage caused by hydrogen peroxide.*
An extract known for its high antioxidant content, particularly proanthocyanidins. Grape seeds are now missing from most American diets, because of the popularity of seedless grapes.*
A nutrient-rich fruit native to India and Southeast Asia. Amla is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C, containing up to 600-700 mg per fruit, which is significantly more than oranges. Sour, bitter and astringent to taste, amla’s numerous health benefits are hard to get by directly eating the fruit. Instead, it is commonly consumed pickled, candied, juiced, or as a powdered extract (like that used in supplements). Amla has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to support immune, digestive, and skin and hair health.*
An enzyme produced in animals that forms part of the innate immune system. Lysozyme is a glycoside hydrolase that works to break down peptidoglycans, a major component of gram-positive bacterial cell walls. It is abundant in human secretions, including tears, saliva, human milk, and mucus, as well as egg whites.*

Since most absorption occurs in the small intestine, the systemic enzymes must bypass the stomach to gain access there. If the enzymes are taken with food, they will likely begin working to break down your food within the stomach, rather than passing through to the small intestine. Taking systemic enzymes like Nattokinase with food will compromise their absorption, as well as their effectiveness.*
Regular, consistent use of systemic enzymes will provide the best results, however missed doses of systemic enzymes do not have serious repercussions. Although symptoms alleviated by systemic enzyme therapy may resurface, getting back on track by remembering to take your next dose will suffice. There is also the option of incorporating another dose during the day. There is no need to “double up” on one dose. Also remember, systemic enzymes are best absorbed on an empty stomach.*
The use of systemic enzymes has not been shown to exhibit detrimental effects, long term or short term. Minor side effects may vary. Gastrointestinal disturbances have been reported by a small percentage of new users, but once the dosage is adjusted, tolerance is maintained. Minor allergic reactions, like reddening of the skin, are also rare occurrences, and can be seen with extremely high doses. There are no known interactions with prescription or over the counter drugs while using systemic enzyme therapy. However, it is recommended that you consult with your physician about starting systemic enzymes, particularly if you are on blood-thinning medications, or are pregnant or nursing.*
Although digestive and systemic enzymes do not have any negative interactions in terms of ingredients, they should not be taken at the same time. The purpose of digestive enzymes is to aid in digestion of specific foods, so taking them with food is an obvious recommendation. Because systemic enzymes require an empty stomach for maximum absorption, they must be taken separately from digestive enzymes. There are no adverse interactions between systemic and digestive enzymes, but they serve different purposes and thus should be taken as directed for best results.*
