Vitalzym Extra Strength Systemic Enzymes   Vitalzym Extra Strength soft gels are the world’s leading all-natural, vegetarian systemic enzyme supplement. Vitalzym features an unmatched proprietary blend that includes Serrapeptase, Bromelain, Papain, Rutin, Amylase, Protease, Lipase and Amla Extract. These softgel capsules are available in 60, 180 and 360 count bottles.   Vitalzym is the only systemic enzyme on the market today boasting the revolutionary enteric-coated, liquid-gel delivery system. Unlike many of the competitors’ tablet- or powder-based products, Vitalzym’s enteric-coated, liquid-gel system ensures that 100 percent of the enzymes survive the harsh acidic environment of the stomach and reach the small intestine, where they become available for absorption into the bloodstream and then are dispersed throughout the entire body.†   What does this mean for you? Bottom line, you’ll be enjoying a smaller, easy-to-swallow capsule, taking less capsules per each dose and less doses per day to receive maximum systemic support. Thanks to Vitalzyms advanced delivery system, superior potency, unrivaled absorption rates and reliable consistency, you won’t need to wait three months to see results. You should feel a difference within weeks, or even days!   Features of Vitalzym Extra Strength   Vitalzym Extra Strength has been formulated with a technologically advanced delivery system that allows forreduced dosage and vastly increased effectiveness as compared to Original Vitalzym   Twice as strong as Original Vitalzym Less cost per dose Enteric coated for ideal release of active ingredients Liquid filled for optimal absorption Half the dose of original Vitalzym Smaller and more convenient packaging, with flip-top lid 100% non-GMO Vegetarian Completely recyclable packagin   Systemic Enzymes Help You Feel Better, Look Better, and Live Longer   Enzymes are said to be the “sparks of life.” They are considered keys that can unlock the door to a healthier you because they not only help improve digestion and nutrient absorption; they are also responsible for millions of bodily functions.   Vitalzym contains potent proteolytic enzymes designed to support health.

Serving Size: 3 capsulesCapsules Per Box: 180 Active Ingredients:Proprietary Enzyme Blend 324 mg contains: Bromelain Papain Rutin Amylase Protease Lipase Serrapeptase Amla Extract   Other Ingredients: Medium-chain Triglycerides, Starch, Glycerin, Polysaccaride, pH Resistent Enteric Coating, Bees Wax, Glycerin Fatty Acid Ester, Riboflavin, Soy Lecithin and Citric Acid Recommended Dosage:As a dietary supplement, take 3 capsules daily with water. This dosage recommendation is for most users and your healthcare professional may recommend a higher activation amount. Warning: If you are currently taking prescription drugs, consult your healthcare professional prior to use. Serrapeptase, a key ingredient in Vxe, was originally discovered in Japan and is commercially produced there for health applications. It has been used as a substitute for animal-derived enzymes (such as chymotrypsin) because of its stronger effect of decomposing bradykinin. Bradykinin is a protein found in the body that causes an inflammatory response.Serrapeptase must be enteric coated to bypass the stomach acids. Without a protective coating the enzyme will be destroyed by the stomach acids.Bromelain is a plant-derived proteolytic enzyme most noted for its ability to break down proteins. Bromelain has been used therapeutically for over 50 years for its anti-inflammatory properties.Papain is also a plant-derived enzyme used both systemically and in the digestive process to break down proteins.Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates.Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids.Rutin is a flavonoid that is used chiefly for strengthening capullary Blood vessels.Amla, also known as the Indian gooseberry, is a rich source of Vitamin C.Vxe also contains natural additives as part of the blending, stabilization, and enteric coating process. Vxe is all-natural and vegetarian. It does not contain talc or titanium dioxide.100% Non-GMO ingredients. Vitalzym XE is recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide. The unique blend of vegetarian enzymes, flavonoids, and antioxidants has been formulated for 100% absorption in the small intestine. All-Natural Enteric CoatingThe effectiveness of any systemic enzyme is determined by the amount of activity level in the bloodstream after the enzyme has been absorbed from the small intestine. Enzymes that are susceptible to destruction in acidic conditions must be protected for delivery to the small intestine. Systemic enzymes will begin to lose their activity once introduced into the low pH (1.0-3.0) acids of the stomach. The amount of activity loss is dependent upon the individual enzyme and the amount of time it spends in the stomach. Studies have shown that unprotected enzymes can lose up to 100% of their activity in fewer than 30 minutes in pH levels below 3.0. The only reliable method of ensuring that 100% of the enzymes are not destroyed by the stomach acids is to enteric-coat the enzymes. Vxe has been formulated to use an enteric coated gel capsule manufactured under pharmaceutical-grade guidelines.*     Vxe, serrapeptase, enzymesThough revolutionary to nutritional enzyme blends, this enteric coating process is similar to that used in todays most advanced products. The capsule has an all-natural shell barrier that allows it to withstand the extremely low pH levels found in the stomach. Once introduced to the pancreatic juices in the duodenum (upper small intestine), the shell barrier breaks down to release the enzymes it contains. The enzymes are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the small intestine.* The enteric coated gel capsule has been designed to pass both the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and JP (Japan Pharmacopeia) disintegration tests for enteric coated capsules. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets the agency guidelines before exportation to the U.S.* Please see this great Enzyme Digestion Comparison chart/slides to better understand the enteric coating on this product: http://www.worldnutrition.info/enzyme-choices. Image: Effect of pH on Enzyme Stability. More Concentrated. More Activity. More Stability Powder enzyme blends are available today that use an enteric coating, but they are typically in tablet form (see fig. 1). The disadvantage of these blends is the amount of heat created with compressing the ingredients into a tablet. Enzymes are susceptible to high temperatures and may begin to degrade during the manufacturing process.Vxe is produced under strictly controlled temperature ranges and because of this our LiquidFilled Gel Capsules allow for an enteric coated enzyme to be developed without activity loss from heat.* There are also enzyme formulations available in vegetable and gelatin capsules that claim to have an enteric coating (see fig. 2). An independent laboratory has put these to the test and has yet to find one that passes the US Pharmacopeia standard for enteric coating.In fact, the best performing vegetable capsule tested lost more than 85% of its enzyme activity after being subjected to stomach conditions. In other words, less than 15% of its concentration was available for absorption to the bloodstream. Click here to see the results.Liquid enzyme blends also provide a more uniform dose consistency, because the mixing of liquids allows for optimal particle distribution. In powder formulations, each particle of a different enzyme is different in size, causing greater friction between particles during mixing. Excipients are introduced to powder formulations to increase the mixability, but liquids still provide far more even distribution of ingredients, allowing for more consistent dosages in each capsule.*Enzymes always retain some amount of moisture when they are produced. Enzymes, as proteins, are more susceptible to denaturation at higher moisture. Enzyme powders typically have lower (5-10%) moisture. However, even with lower moisture, enzyme powders will lose some of their activity over time, resulting in a loss of up to 20% of activity over a 12-month period. Vxe contains enzymes with a higher degree of purity and less moisture that, when combined with Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCT), then decompressed during the manufacturing process, removes the moisture completely. As a result, loss of enzyme activity over time due to moisture will not occur after Vxe is produced. Vxe is manufactured to have a 5-year shelf life with no loss of activity when properly stored in a cool, dry place.* Best ValueThere are many cheap enzyme products available today. However, when comparing the value of each blend, Vxe continues to prove to be the least expensive option due to its unmatched efficacy. High concentrations of active, stable enzymes delivered to the bloodstream allows for the least amount of waste in an oral systemic enzyme supplement. When comparing the amount of pure enzymes delivered to the bloodstream for systemic effect, Vxe offers the best value of any systemic enzyme supplement available today.

Original Vitalzym is a hybrid formula that combines systemic and digestive delivery to provide total system support. It contains protease, serrapeptase, papain, bromelain, amylase, lipase, rutin and amla. Vitalzym systemic proteolytic enzyme therapy assists the body in fighting: Autoimmune conditions Fibromyalgia symptoms Uterine Fibroid Tumors  Pain and Inflammation Fibrosis of the organs Scar tissue Toxins and impurities in the blood Viruses Our bodies have a variety of functional units, such as a digestive system, an immune system, a cardiovascular system, and a circulatory system, just to name a few.  Each system requires energy in order to perform optimally.  It just so happens that enzymes provide this much needed energy for the successful completion of each biological function. The Purpose of Enzymes Enzymes are said to be the “sparks of life.” They are considered keys that can unlock the door to a healthier you because they not only help improve digestion and nutrient absorption; they are also responsible for millions of bodily functions. What exactly are enzymes?  They are proteins that are responsible for every chemical reaction that goes on in your body; governing all functions related to your tissues, muscles, bones, organs, and cells.  Every second of our lives, over 3,000 different enzymes are constantly renewing and changing, often at unbelievable speeds.    The Purpose of Enzymes Enzymes are said to be the “sparks of life.” They are considered keys that can unlock the door to a healthier you because they not only help improve digestion and nutrient absorption; they are also responsible for millions of bodily functions.  What exactly are enzymes?  They are proteins that are responsible for every chemical reaction that goes on in your body; governing all functions related to your tissues, muscles, bones, organs, and cells.  Every second of our lives, over 3,000 different enzymes are constantly renewing and changing, often at unbelievable speeds.  Enzymes are responsible for everyday bodily processes, such as: Metabolism Digestion Breathing Movement Liver function Immune regulation Viscosity of blood Cellular detoxification Energy production Stamina Ability to utilize vitamins and minerals Enzymes have been studied since the early 1900s.  Even though there is over a century's worth of information regarding their use, we still have much to learn about them.  Although, one thing is for certain; life as we know it, would not exist without them. Over the last decade, science has uncovered numerous roles for enzymes than ever thought possible, as they literally initiate millions of reactions within your body.  In fact, many health care professionals are now advocating the use of enzymes for various conditions and post-operative healing. When referring to enzymatic supplements, it's important to distinguish between those used for digestionand those used systemically. Digestive enzymes are taken orally with food in order to help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins for improved digestive function and nutrient absorption. Original Vitalzym can assist with digestion, but are not primarily a digestive enzyme. Systemic enzymes, such as those in original Vitalzym, are taken orally in between meals on an empty stomach. This way they can be absorbed by the intestines into the bloodstream where the body can utilize them for countless bodily processes.    Vitalzym Systemic Enzyme Therapy As we age, our body's natural production of enzymes begins to slow down.  Some health care professionals believe that our natural production of enzymes starts to decrease after the age of 27.  It is not too long after this that many of us begin to notice symptoms of low enzyme production, which can include:  Slow wound healing Increased scarring Poor digestion Fibrosis conditions Internal inflammation Dr. Anthony Cichoke, enzyme authority, states in his book, Enzymes and Enzyme Therapy, that "Our body's ability to function, to repair when injured, and to ward off disease is directly related to the strength and numbers of our enzymes.” 1 Supplemental enzymes like those in Original Vitalzym, New Vitalzym andVitalzym Cardio along with proper diet and exercise can help to maintain your normal enzyme levels and balance your body's own repair mechanisms. They can also help reduce the incidence of inflammatory and fibrosis conditions.   References 1.

Hydrogen is the first and most abundant element in the Universe! Two atoms combine to form hydrogen gas, H2, the smallest and most mobile molecule. This exclusive property gives it greater cellular bioavailability than any other nutrient or nutraceutical. Molecular Hydrogen can rapidly diffuse into cells, mitochondria, and fluids throughout the body to deliver its unique and abundant benefits. The new and dramatically improved Active H2® ULTRA tablets are the latest development for adding the amazing properties of Molecular Hydrogen to pure water. These tablets provide abundant Hydrogen molecules that are uniquely found in fresh, raw, living foods and are essential to any serious antioxidation program. A unique and patent pending combination of magnesium and supporting nutrients are the only active substances of Active H2. This distinguishes it from the existing synthetic chemical formulas as well as the use of electrolysis (as in water ionizers) to generate Molecular Hydrogen. The natural, proven Active H2® ULTRA formula consists of a proprietary blend of pure magnesium metal, dl-malic acid, dextrose, tartaric acid, and stearic acid that act synergistically in water to generate Molecular Hydrogen and electron-rich potential (-ORP). Magnesium – As one of the most vital dietary minerals, it is a required cofactor in more than 800 enzymes used in the human body. A government study confirms that 68% of Americans are deficient in magnesium. One tablet provides 60 mg of magnesium. Metallic magnesium in the tablet reacts with malic acid and water to produce magnesium malate and hydrogen gas. Malic Acid – This natural molecule is also produced within the mitochondria (the cell’s energy source). Malic acid supports the body’s energy reserves while improving mental clarity and reversing muscle fatigue. Dextrose – A common binder used in the supplement and pharmaceutical industries. Binders are added to tablet formulations to add cohesiveness to powders and provide the necessary bonding to form a compact tablet mass. Tartaric Acid – Tartaric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid contained in foods such as grapes, apricots, and apples. It acts as both an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory. It can substantially increase the rate at which nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Tartaric acid has been used in combination with malic acid to produce effervescence which helps to cause quick dissolution of tablets. Stearic acid – A natural waxy oil commonly found in vegetables, fruits, and other foods. It acts as a lubricant in tablet making and is used as an ingredient that helps tablets hold together and break apart properly. The all-natural, add-in tablet provides Molecular Hydrogen in the amount of up to 7.5 ppm in your container of water. 60 tablets per bottle Important Product Features -700 mV ORP in 1 liter of pure water! Increases cellular hydration Regular use heightens physical and mental energy Supports mitochondrial ATP (energy) production Alkalizing minerals (magnesium) Quickly and cleanly dissolves in less than 1 minute – no waiting around for dissolution. You can drink it as soon as the tablet dissolves – thereby getting greater amount of hydrogen than in tablets that take longer to dissolve. The Way to Optimal Health Active H2® ULTRA* tablets are the latest development for adding the amazing properties of Molecular Hydrogen to pure water. An additional benefit is that Active H2® ULTRA generates an powerful electron-rich potential (-ORP) in the water (you can measure it!). DIRECTIONS FOR USE: • Place one (1) tablet of Active H2® ULTRA* in a container/glass with 8 -12 oz of pure water or non-carbonated juice/liquid, or as recommended by a professional health practitioner. Wait until the tablet is completely dissolved (less than 1 minute) before consuming. We recommed that you drink it as soon to possible in order to ingest the highest amount of hydrogen. A one pint glass mason jar or clear glass work well as containers that allow you to see the tablet dissolve and know when it is ready to drink. • Do not swallow tablet. • Consider the level of stress and/or physical activity that is expected as well as the duration of the activity. Active H2® ULTRA hydrating drinks are especially beneficial for endurance sports like running marathons, cycling, climbing, etc. You can take up to 4 (or more) tablets daily if you are especially active.

— Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance existing between cells in an organism. Here they form large complexes, both to other proteoglycans and to fibrous matrix proteins, such as collagen. Cartilage is basically made of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, a protein-polysaccharide bond that provides elasticity. [10,11].— Our Grass Fed Collagen is derived from cartilage; it provides all of these nourishing constituents to support joints, bones, cartilage, skin, hair and nails.  NOURISH YOUR WAY TO HEALTH & HAPPINESS WITH GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN * For most of human history, Sapiens effortlessly consumed (nose-to-tail) the things we needed for strength, health and happiness. In the modern world, we unknowingly struggle to fulfill our lifestyle and nutritional needs in order to support and sustain a vibrant, disease-free life. We are now part of a world where joints, bones, cartilage and collagenous parts (including skin, hair and nails) struggle to heal and be healthy. I believe that the ultimate solution is a return to ancestral living (see About Us page).  Whole food, nutrient dense organs, glands and collagen can provide great benefit for those seeking targeted support in harmony with nature — the old fashioned way, the way that our early ancestors did.* Grass Fed "Living" Collagen is a whole food and dietary supplement that provides pure bovine collagen—in a whole food matrix—with all the cartilage and collagen-specific building blocks, peptides and enzymes to nourish and support one's own joints, bones, cartilage and skin, hair and nail health. Our collagen retains ancestral properties that are otherwise absent in the modern world: MODERN DAY COLLAGENS Modern day commercial collagens are produced from hides, hooves and horns that are otherwise inedible. As such, they are highly processed with high heat, degreasing agents and acids, and end up being far removed from anything resembling the ancestral "living" collagen that our DNA evolved with... these are the raw materials that our DNA still expects today to express healthy and vibrant joints, bones, cartilage, collagen, blood vessels and of course — skin, hair and nails. Don’t get me wrong… commercial collagen peptides are awesome… they just happen to be only one of the 5 major players that bone broth (and our "Living" Collagen) are one of the most nourishing foods in existence. WE EVOLVED EATING MINIMALLY PROCESSED "LIVING" COLLAGEN... Grass Fed Ancestral Collagen is produced from the cartilaginous parts from the innards of the animal (bovine) including the trachea and scapula. The processing you'll find here is simple enough... we use an all natural protease enzyme to remove non-cartilage material, then we freeze-dry it. That's it! As such, our collagen retains ancestral properties in a whole-food matrix that are otherwise absent in the modern world: Typical Amino Acids That You'd Expect From Collagen — Glycine, Hydroxyproline & Proline Trachea-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Scapula-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Bone-Derived Collagen; Type I, II, III Bioactive Growth Factors Molecular Biodirectors Glycosaminoglycans Proteoglycans — The Filler Between The Cells... Keeps Cells From Sagging Chondroitin Sulfates — Lubricate Joints Range of Trace Minerals BIOACTIVE GROWTH FACTORS In addition to some of the typical amino acids that you expect in collagen (glycine, hydroxyproline and proline), our Grass Fed "Living" Collagen is teeming with bioactive growth factors, including Insulin Like Growth Factor I (IGF I), Transforming Growth Factor ß I (TGFßI) and Cartilage Derived Growth Factor (CDGF).  The growth factors are a diverse group of proteins with a myriad of biological functions within the body. As proteins, they are sensitive to manufacturing processes, however our gentle processing techniques help to preserve these delicate entities within our finished product. IGF-I may have a dual benefit on compromised cartilage. Work by Neidel et al (1994) demonstrated that IGF-I partially prevented the inhibition of cartilage proteoglycan synthesis caused by Interleukin I (IL-1). In addition to this beneficial effect on the extracellular matrix, the growth factor actually accelerated recovery of proteoglycan production, after the free IL-1 was withdrawn. Furthermore, it has been established that TGF ß significantly increases the levels of chondroitin sulphate chains in proteoglycans, as shown by Rapraeger (1989) MOLECULAR BIODIRECTORS According to the Godfather of cartilage therapy, Dr. John F. Prudden, “bovine cartilage closely resembles fetal mesenchyme, the primordial tissue from which muscle, bone, tendons, ligaments, skin, fat and bone marrow (the heart of the immune system) all develop.” “The cartilage”, he adds, “contains numerous powerful molecular biodirectors. These have a potent normalizing effect in human biology."[5] PROTEOGLYCANS | GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS In the 1930s Francis Pottenger, Jr., a noted pioneer in the field who applied the findings and principles of Weston Price, concluded that the healing power of bone broth came from its hydrophilic, water-loving nature. Every pot of properly made broth is full of huge, water-trapping molecules known as proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance existing between cells in an organism. Here they form large complexes, both to other proteoglycans, to hyaluronan, and to fibrous matrix proteins, such as collagen. Cartilage is basically made of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, a protein-polysaccharide bond that provides elasticity.  Grass Fed "Living" Collagen is also rich in glycosaminoglycans which maintain and support collagen, elastin and turgidity (bounce) in the cellular spaces and keep protein fibers in balance and proportion. Glycosaminoglycans are also linked to the lymphatic system.[6] Chondroitin sulphate is a part of the group of compounds known as glycosaminoglycans (GAG). In cartilage, chondroitin sulphate as part of the larger proteoglycan molecule aggrecan is held within a meshwork of type II collagen fibrils. This meshwork is flexible, and due to the highly negatively charged nature of the GAG molecules holds many times is own weight in water. It is this arrangement that gives fully functional, healthy cartilage its resistance to compression. 100% NEW ZEALAND Pasture Raised In New Zealand Grass-fed & Grass-Finished Hormone, Pesticide & GMO Free Absolutely No Fillers (or) Flow Agents 100% Freeze Dried & Non-Defatted Third Party Tested For Purity Allergen Free New Zealand — Our product is 100% sourced in New Zealand. In agricultural circles and fisheries, it's known that the clean air and water, green pastures, and animal husbandry is at a higher level — Ultra Pure — Our product is 100% pure... This means that you won't see any of the extra stuff that most supplement companies include to save time and money (stearates, silica, etc) — Freeze Dried — Our product is 100% freeze dried in contrast to the heat processed varieties. This means that you get more of the heat sensitive vitamins, minerals and co-factors that make organ meats so incredibly nourishing — Safety — There has never been a case of mad cow disease in New Zealand. BSE (mad cow disease), scrapie and other known TSE’s, do not occur in New Zealand. A national surveillance programme is in place to provide comprehensive monitoring — CONSIDER THE SOURCE New Zealand seems like it was made for raising healthy animals. Its location and climate produce pristine conditions for cattle and sheep, and the farmers have uncanny expertise handed down for generations. New Zealand is unique among meat-producing regions in the world because its climate is moderate so the grass in the pastures grows fresh and grows green year-round which means the cows and sheep can eat the food that’s healthiest for them every day of the year. Our nose-to-tail product line is always from grassfed, inspected animals born and raised without the use of pesticides, hormones or antibiotics. Health of livestock used for manufacturing in New Zealand is closely monitored by a world leading biosecurity system that is second to none, and is a global exemplar. Strict government licensing, auditing and certification procedures mean that our genuine New Zealand freeze dried products can be used with complete confidence in their origin, safety and efficacy. Freeze-drying preserves the heat sensitive vitamins, minerals and co-factors of components leaving the nutrients in the same balance as found in nature. * Our product line is 100% additive-free. Absolutely no stearates, lubricants, binders, fillers or flow agents... except with our Bone Marrow (see Other Ingredients) * SUPPLEMENT FACTS Serving Size: 6 Capsules Servings Per Container: 30 AMOUNT PER CAPSULE Freeze-Dried New Zealand Grassfed Cartilage (Bovine) 500MG Trachea-Derived Collagen Scapula-Derived Collagen Bone-Derived Collagen Bioactive Growth Factors Glycosaminoglycans Proteoglycans Chondroitin Sulfates Trace Minerals OTHER INGREDIENTS: Collagen (Beef Gelatin) Capsules SUGGESTED USE: Six capsules daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. BENEFITS OF GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN Traditional peoples, Native Americans and early ancestral healers believed that eating the organs from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health of the corresponding organ of the individual. For instance, the traditional way of treating a person with a weak heart was to feed the person the heart of a healthy animal. Similarly, eating the kidneys of a healthy animal was believed to support urinary ailments and overall kidney health... Pancreas was fed to people with digestive and endocrine problems...[7] trachea, scapula, marrow-rich bones and other cartilaginous parts provided concentrated amounts of connective tissue, collagen and other proteins that are now missing from the modern diet. Many of our modern day functional practitioners use our Grass Fed "Living" Collagen to support joints, bones, cartilage and skin. A common protocol is to combine this product with our Grass Fed Liver (or BTC) and Grass Fed Bone Marrow. If one needs more type I collagen support, a commercial collagen is included to the tune of 10-15 grams per day.   Dr. Royal Lee, and other early nutritional pioneers, believed the degenerative processes of a specific organ / gland could be reversed by ingesting the corresponding raw materials specific to that organ / gland.7 GRASS FED COLLAGEN & LIVER — THE ULTIMATE SUPERFOODS Whether from grassfed beef, bison, or lamb, grass fed liver is one of the most nutrient-dense, health promoting foods you could possibly eat. Hunters all over the world, for uncounted thousands of years, would eat the raw livers of the animals they killed. Lions and other predatory animals will also eat the liver first. Grass fed liver is particularly rich in vitamin B12, vitamin A, choline, folate and and many other powerful nutrients that most people are deficient in. Grass fed liver also contains compounds that help the human liver function better. Other substances in liver reduce fatigue, improve digestive health and support brain function.*1 Many people look to targeted support "like heals like" while neglecting the very fundamental nourishment that governs our biology, health and well-being. It's no wonder that so many people successfully support organ and glandular related health conditions (thyroid, adrenal and gut included) by just nourishing their bodies with the fundamentals — Liver and Bone Marrow.*   WISDOM BACKED BY SCIENCE Organs and glandulars were a staple of our early ancestors' diets as the ultimate superfood, for good reason. It turns out, this nourishing tradition is backed by science... "Radioisotope labeling studies in animals have shown conclusively that, when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs and glands in high concentrations. This research, done at the University of Scotland in Edinburgh, lends credence to the ancient practice of eating animal organs to help ensure health in one’s corresponding organs..." - Dr. Ron Schmid, ND.*[8] Our early ancestors knew this, which is why their traditional diets included the frequent and nourishing consumption of nose-to-tail nutrients. — Powerful effects on wound healing, autoimmune conditions, joint health and other conditions considered to be treatment resistant to conventional therapies *[1,2,3,4] — — Contains numerous powerful molecular biodirectors and immunoregulators to balance and regulate a health promoting response to a given stimulus *[5] — — All the building blocks for connective tissue and cartilage... glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, chondroitin sulfates and type II collagen *[6] — GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN CONTAINS... Typical Amino Acids That You'd Expect From Collagen — Glycine, Hydroxyproline & Proline Trachea-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Scapula-Derived Collagen; Rich In Type II Collagen Bone-Derived Collagen; Type I, II, III Bioactive Growth Factors; IGF-I, TGFßI & Cartilage Derived Growth Factor (CDGF) Molecular Biodirectors Glycosaminoglycans | Proteoglycans Chondroitin Sulfates — Lubricate Joints Range Of Trace Minerals [NOTE: Proteoglycans are a major component of the animal extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance existing between cells in an organism. Here they form large complexes, both to other proteoglycans, to hyaluronan, and to fibrous matrix proteins, such as collagen. Cartilage is basically made of water, collagen, and proteoglycans, a protein-polysaccharide bond that provides elasticity.] [10,11]   GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN SUPPORTS...  Optimal Joints, Bones, Cartilage & Skin, Hair and Nail Health Based On "Like Supports Like" * Healing, Immune Health And Joint Health * The Filler Between The Cells... Keeps Cells From Sagging Treatment Response In Conditions Considered To Be Treatment Resistant * Connective Tissue And Digestive Health *[9]  [NOTE: Grass Fed "Living" Collagen’s anti-inflammatory effects make it especially useful for joint disorders. However, it has also been shown to be very effective in inflammatory conditions of the gut.] [9] SUGGESTED USE (6 CAPSULES A DAY) Our Grass Fed Collagen is a whole food dietary supplement that provides Grass Fed "Living" Collagen within the ultimate food matrix. This supplement can be taken with (or) without food (even though it technically is food). The suggested use is 6 capsules a day or as directed by a healthcare professional — for added support, the dose can be doubled or tripled. If consuming more than six capsules at once, the doses should be separated by at least three hours to improve tolerability. As it relates to little ones, our Ancestral Supplements are 100% pure and they're encapsulated in 100% pure bovine gelatin. Since we do not add any stearates, lubricants, binders, fillers or flow agents, (except with our Bone Marrow; see Other Ingredients), our products contain all the natural nourishing properties of grass fed organs as they exist in harmony with nature. In other words, if you would consider preparing homemade liver and onions (or) a homemade organ meat paté for little one, our supplements would be no different — it's just food, whole-food at that!In fact, many of our customers give our products to their babies, toddlers and teens... many email and post reviews about it, including one that notes that she gives her kid half the recommended dose for an anemia-related issue. Another reviewer remarks about our Thymus, at 1-2 capsules a day, is the only thing that works for her son's "angry" eczema. Even a new mom states that she opens the capsule and blends our liver into a homemade Weston A Price formula to give her baby a head start. As long as the little ones tolerate beef products without incident, you would just be giving a convenient source of ancestral nourishment.As it relates to dosing, most of our functional healthcare practitioner accounts suggest 1 capsule for every 15-20 pounds of body weight. I always tell people that I put the care, attention and quality assurance into my products as if I am giving them to my family... because I am! My young boys, wife and I all take the Beef Liver, Beef Organs and Bone Marrow everyday. Pro Tip: Add 10-15 grams of commercial collagen and bioavailable vitamin C (I like acerola cherries or a good powder will do). Why you ask... proline hydroxylation requires ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The most obvious, first effects (gingival and hair problems) of absence of ascorbic acid in humans come from the resulting defect in hydroxylation of proline residues of collagen, with reduced stability of the collagen molecule, causing scurvy and sub-clinical scurvy-like symptoms with bleeding gums, hair loss, skin issues and such.  POTENTIAL ISSUES (DETOX REACTION) Most customers tolerate our supplements without incident; however, approximately 5 to 10% of customers (usually with an autoimmune condition) may experience a detoxification reaction. Detoxification reactions go by many different names including healing reactions, healing crises, cleansing reactions (or) Herxheimer reactions with hallmark symptoms of nausea, headache, lethargy, dizziness and other flu like symptoms. In this instance, detoxification reactions are generally an indication that detoxification pathways in the body are back online... cells suddenly have an opportunity to release an even greater than normal quantity of stored toxins, metabolic wastes, pathogens and unwanted material.  A detoxification reaction is more likely to occur when starting with the full suggested serving size of 6 capsules per day. If you know that you are sensitive to supplements and/or you have an autoimmune condition, you may wish to start slow when adding this product to your current regimen. Tolerability can be greatly improved by starting with just 1 (or) 2 capsules a day and increasing by just 1 capsule every couple of days — this method may take a full few weeks to achieve the desired serving size of 6 capsules per day. If you know that you're ulta sensitive to supplements, email us and we'll do everything we can to help. HIGH QUALITY ORGANS, GLANDS & COLLAGENS Okay, you're convinced! You're going to start incorporating nose-to-tail nourishment in your routine because, well... you're educated now... you understand, just as our early ancestors did, that they provide superlative health benefits that are missing in our modern diets. The next step is sourcing it. It's important that you source the highest quality because not all organs, glands and cartilage are created equal. Consider the source.  Should Come From An Unpolluted Geographical Region — Isolated, Healthy, Pristine Lands  Should Come From Pasture Raised Animals Should Come From Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished Animals Should Come From Animals That Are Hormone, Pesticide & GMO Free Should Also Be Ultra Pure... Absolutely No Fillers (or) Flow Agents, No Allergens Should Be Non-Defatted (if applicable) Should Be 100% Freeze Dried... Freeze Drying Preserves Heat Sensitive Biological Activity (or) Low-Heat Rendered As Is The Case w/ Our Tallow SUGGESTED SUPPLEMENTS (3) If you're going to pick just one ancestral supplement to start with, make it our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER... unless you need targeted support with another specific organ system (see below). If you are going to pick two supplements, our GRASS FED BEEF LIVER and our GRASS FED BEEF ORGANS provide complementary and synergistic nourishment. If you can add a third supplement, GRASS FED BONE MARROW fills fat soluble nutrition gaps and provides the fat soluble activators that nutrition giant Dr. Weston Price extensively wrote about. Grass Fed Beef Liver Grass Fed Beef Organs (liver, heart, kidney, pancreas, spleen) Grass Fed Bone Marrow On the other hand, if you're looking for targeted organ support, you may be interested in our GRASS FED BEEF HEART to support heart health (or) our GRASS FED THYROID to support a struggling thyroid (or) our GRASS FED THYMUS to support thymus function and immune health... you get the picture.* We have a nose-to-tail product line that can be found on our "Products" page. If you can't find what you're looking for (or) you're not sure what you're looking for, send us an email and we'll do everything we can to help. GRASS FED "LIVING" COLLAGEN SUMMARY Our genome has evolved with the nourishment of nose-to-tail dining since the beginning of time. Grassfed Collagen is a whole food and dietary supplement that provides 100% pure Grass Fed "Living" Collagen containing powerful biodirectors, immunoregulars, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, chondroitin sulfates and type II collagen with bioactive "living" growth factors. These nourishing compounds support healing, immune and joint health along with treatment resistant conditions.* Based on the concept of "like supports like," Grass Fed "Living" Collagen may strengthen and support our own connective tissue, joints, bones, cartilage and skin, hair and nail health.* Not all organs and glands are the same. Look for the highest quality Grass Fed "Living" Collagen... It should come from pasture-raised, grass-fed and grass-finished animals that are hormone, pesticide and GMO free. If considering a supplement, look for one that is ultra pure (without binders, fillers (or) flow agents) and look for the freeze dried variety as these have been shown to optimally preserve nutritional factors, growth factors and co-factors. [ FACT: There has never been a case of mad cow disease in New Zealand. BSE (mad cow disease), scrapie and other known TSE’s, do not occur in New Zealand. A national surveillance programme is in place to provide comprehensive monitoring. ] We care deeply about each and every aspect of our "seed to supplement" business... great love and gratitude goes out to the souls of these beautiful creatures that sacrificed their lives so that we could be nourished.

Being a major component of the human body (it makes up roughly 30% of total body protein), collagen gives structure to our tendons, ligaments, bones, skin, hair, nails and the gut lining. Our powder is a combination of type 1 & 3 collagen sourced from 100% grass-fed and finished cattle free from hormones, antibiotics or exposure to chemicals. Hot and cold soluble, as well as odourless and flavourless, our collagen peptides can be mixed into a wide variety of drinks or meals. Each bag contains 400g's (40 servings).  HOW TO USEConsume 10-20g per day. Hot and cold soluble, as well as odourless and flavourless, our grass-fed collagen peptides can be mixed into a wide variety of drinks or meals.  WHEN TO USECollagen can be taken at any time throughout the day. Personally we like to add 10g’s to our morning coffee and an additional 10g’s to post workout shakes. Eating whole animals, nose-to-tail, was a way of life for human beings for 99% of our existence on this earth. It’s only recently that the really nutritious parts of animals like organs and bones have dropped out of our diet. Our ancestors believed that to strengthen parts of their body, it was important to consume the corresponding part of a healthy animal. Interestingly, this is just now being validated by science. Research conducted at the University of Edinburgh in animal models has shown conclusively that when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organ of the consumer in high concentrations. Although not an organ, collagen supports this research, as when consumed it travels to our skin, connective tissues, gut lining, bones and hair to strengthen them.Our ancestors also appreciated that animals gave their lives to ensure us as humans could survive and thrive so they left nothing go to waste. And because of their deep connection with the earth and their own bodies they intuitively knew just how nutrient dense the rarer parts of an animal are and would prise these over muscle meats. Fast forward to today and the immense powers of eating nose-to-tail has somewhat been forgotten. Parts of animals that were once highly sought after are now rarely consumed and generally people no longer enjoy the taste. We created our nose-to-tail line to help people reintroduce these ancestral superfoods, loaded with nutrients in an easy to consume and flavourless way.Nutritional Information: One Serving ( 2 Scoops / 10g) - Kcal: 36.8 - Fat: 0 - of which Saturates: 0 - Carbohydrates: 0 - of which Sugars: 0 - Fibre: 0 - Protein: 9.2 - Salt: 0.14 Amino Acid Profile (Typical G AA / Per 100g) Alanine 8.1 - Arginine 8.4 -Asparagine 6.6 - Glutamine 12.4 - Glycine 20.6 - Histidine 0.8 - Hydroxylysine 1.2 - Hydroxyproline 11.4 - Isoleucine 1.5 - Leucine 2.9 - Lysine 3.4 - Methionine 0.6 - Phenylalanine 2.1 - Proline 11.5 - Serine 3.4 - Threonine 1.9 - Tyrosine 0.5 - Valine 2.4Ingredients: 100% Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen Peptides *Our collagen powder is sourced from 100% grass-fed and finished cattle free from hormones, antibiotics or exposure to chemicals.  FAQ's WHAT IS COLLAGEN? Collagen is a major component of the human body, making up around 30% of our total body protein. It’s the main structural protein in connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons. It’s also found in bones, nails, hair and makes up roughly 80% of our skin. WHY TAKE COLLAGEN?Generally as people age, their collagen depletes, which can cause deterioration of skin and connective tissues. Topping your collagen levels up through diet counteracts this depletion and therefore supports strong connective tissues, bones and skin elasticity. IS YOUR COLLAGEN GRASS-FED AND FINISHED?Yes, we source our collagen from certified grass-fed and finished cattle that roam freely outdoors on pasture and are not exposed to antibiotics, hormones or any artificial chemicals.

Cordyceps is an edible mushroom that when consumed has been shown to have a host of health and performance benefits. Studies have demonstrated its ability to promote oxygen uptake, energy and endurance as well as support immunity focus and blood sugar regulation. This is a 10:1 concentrated extract, which means we use 10g of raw Cordyceps to make 1g of powder. All our mushroom powder extracts are naturally wild-crafted on lugs, dual extracted and concentrated for maximum levels of beneficial compounds with no heavy metals or toxins.  NATURALLY WILD-CRAFTED ON LOGS Grown as they should be; in nature with fresh air and sunlight 25.6% BETA-GLUCANS We have our finished products batch tested to ensure they contain no heavy metals or toxins and have high levels of immune-enhancing beta-glucans DUAL-EXTRACTED We carefully source and extract our Cordyceps to ensure high levels of the beneficial compounds within these mushrooms are maintained 10:1 CONCENTRATED EXTRACT Each gram of our Cordyceps mushroom powder is made with 10 grams of naturally wild-crafted Cordyceps mushroom for potency ABOUT THE PRODUCT Organic Cordyceps Our Cordyceps are made from 100% fruiting bodies, certified organic and wild-crafted with natural lighting and fresh air. We then use a dual-extraction and vacuum drying process to turn the mushrooms into an 10:1 concentrated extract powder.  On completion of this process, we have our finished product lab analysed to demonstrate how our method maintains a really high level of the beneficial beta-glucans present in these mushrooms. Our latest batch contains 25.6%.  Our Cordyceps are packaged in Miron Glass jars to provide complete protection from UV rays which can degrade the quality of the product.  This product DOES NOT contain mycelium, starch, pesticides, toxins or fillers of any kind. It's also wild-crafted and therefore not lab-grown with the use of rice or oats.  HOW TO USE Take 1-2 grams per day, mixed into food or drinks. WHEN TO USE Can be taken at any point throughout the day. Personally we like to add a gram to our morning coffee and then another to our pre-workout drinks.  FAQS DO YOU LAB TEST YOUR FINISHED PRODUCTS? Of course - every batch is tested for heavy metals and beta-glucan percentage. Beta-glucans are the compounds within Cordyceps, which give it its immune enhancing properties. HOW LONG WILL MY TUB LAST? This all depends on dosage. However, if you take 1-2 grams per day, the tub will last 20-40 days.

Exclzyme The Original Full-Strength Formula Everybody Needs a Healthy Body Elimination of potentially toxic substances from the body is a crucial part in the metabolic processes for optimal health. A variety of health issues can develop if toxins within the body impair enzyme function or availability or without a proper store of enzymes. For instance, the immune system can be overwhelmed with bacteria, fungi, toxins and even food particles that don’t get completely digested in the gastro-intestinal tract. In many instances, proteins created by these distresses found within the body, which the body detects as foreign, can initiate an immune response. Recognized as antigens, the immune system produces antibodies to start the process of the proteins’ degradation and removal. After coupling with one another, these antigens and antibodies form circulating immune complexes (CICs), which induce attack and destruction by the immune system’s macrophages (white blood cells specifically designed to destroy CICs). This process is known as inflammation – the body’s natural healing mechanism In cases where inflammation is prolonged or when CICs are predominant within the body’s tissues and organs, the body may not have enough enzyme potential to begin the next process of renewal and recovery. Moreover, research has demonstrated that a lack of proteolytic enzymes may not cause an adequate response to a large accumulation of CIC’s in the body. Exclzyme® for Total Body Support To address this problem, Exclzyme has been formulated with an ample supply of various proteases to facilitate the body’s immune defenses and breakdown free-roaming CICs that can keep the body in a constant state of inflammation. Enteric-coated serrapeptase highlights this powerful mix of proteolytic enzymes with its scientifically proven fibrinolytic power (to learn more about enteric coating used in AST Enzymes products, please click the "Compare" tab). Exclzyme also contains papain and bromelain, enzymes known for their potent systemic properties. In addition to these systemic and digestive proteases, lipase and amylase also offer their own enzyme activity to bolster the body with extra catalytic energy, especially for the complete digestion of fats, sugar and protein complexes. And for extra synergy, Exclzyme is rounded with anti-oxidant support in the form of rutin and amla, herbs well known for their unique bioflavanoid content, especially useful for tissue rejuvenation and recovery.*The entire systemic enzyme blend is manufactured in a ISO 9001:2000 and GMP certified facilities using our Bioactive Protein Peptide System® (BPPS). The Original Systemic Enzyme Formula Exclzyme is a proven systemic enzyme therapy for overall health. A powerful blend of serrapeptase, proteases and herbs, Exclzyme supports the body’s response to inflammation, metabolic activity, blood, joints and circulation. The Exclzyme formula has been used for more than a decade by thousands of people as a daily dietary supplement. In fact, you may have been using the original formula for years without knowing it (to learn more about Exclzyme vs. Vitalzym®, please click the "Compare" tab).** AST Enzymes’ family of companies is among the largest manufacturers of enzymes in the world. For decades, we have supplied enzymes to marketing companies who have built their businesses on enzyme supplements our experts formulated and manufactured. The Exclzyme formulation has been commercially available since 1999 and is the most successful non-animal derived systemic enzyme blend on the market today. Exclzyme Dosage For best results, begin enzyme regiment at a low dosage of 1 capsule three times a day. After three days, increase your Exclzyme dosage to 2 capsules three times a day. After the first week, doses should be adjusted to a therapeutic level of 3 or more capsules three times a day (amount is dependent upon desired benefit). NOTE: It is important to continue therapeutic doses until results are realized. This should then be reduced to a maintenance dose of 1-3 capsules three times a day. Complementing your Exclzyme with additional serrapeptase can increase proteolytic activity, as well as increase positive effects on inflammation and provide faster recovery and healing from injury.*Peptizyme-SP contains 80,000 units of professional-strength serrapeptase per capsule.

Some companies claim to continue to carry the original formula. One easy way to check is to see if the bottle says the enzyme serrapeptase is enteric-coated. Studies show serrapeptase, sourced from the bacterium Serratia marcescens and the key ingredient in the original Full-Strength Exclzyme, must be enteric coated so it can pass through the acid environment of the stomach without being damaged. And as for the new formulas on the market claiming to be stronger or more technologically advanced: the proof is in the results. There is an underlying art when it comes to manufacturing enzyme products. Systemic enzyme blends must be formulated expertly and correctly for maximum effectiveness. In fact, alterations to an already successful systemic enzyme product may not provide the same results you’ve come to expect. Many companies, including ours, use proprietary formulas to protect their products from being copied and used by others. But all companies must list all of the ingredients by name, and rank the ingredients according to the percentage amounts in the formula. For instance, in the original Exclzyme formula, enteric-coated serrapeptase is listed on our ingredient list as the second most prevalent ingredient in our formulation. If your “new and improved” systemic formula does not list serrapeptase as the second ingredient and it doesn’t say enteric-coated, you’re probably not getting the most out of your systemic enzyme formula. Serrapeptase has always been the hallmark of the original Exclzyme formula, making it the choice of companies and consumers alike.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Enteric Coating Comparison   Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC)*   Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (CAP) Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Phthalate (HPMCP) Contains Phthalates NO YES YES Considered Enteric Coating YES YES YES Studies supporting Efficacy as Enteric Coating YES YES YES Gastro-resistance YES YES YES FDA GRAS YES YES YES Time in Use   >50 years   >70 years   ~40 years     *AST Enzymes uses MAAC as enteric coating   What is enteric coating, and why is it needed? Enteric coating is a layer of protective coating for dietary supplements that is meant to allow the supplement to bypass digestion by the stomach and be absorbed in the small intestine. Systemic enzymes are proteins, so their functional structures are denatured (or destroyed) in conditions of extreme pH and temperature. Without enteric coating, enzymes would be rendered useless long before they reach the bloodstream, where their carry out their beneficial effects. What’s enteric coating made of? At AST Enzymes, we use Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) for our enteric coating. Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) is not a phthalate. According to independent studies, MAAC is the most gastro-resistant when compared to other commonly used enteric coating agents such as Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (CAP) and Hydroxypropyl Methycellulose Phthalate (HPMCP). This means that MAAC can most effectively withstand the acidity of the stomach, allowing its contents to be released in the small intestine and absorbed successfully. Don’t let the name scare you. MAAC is a food-grade compound that has been in use as enteric coating in the pharmaceutical industry for over 50 years with no reported side effects. In fact, theEuropean Food Safety Authority – an organization that conducted studies which led to the ban of 6 types of phthalates in personal care products in Europe in 2004 – has deemed MAAC safe for use as coating agent in food supplements. Not only is MAAC listed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also conducted various studies and found sufficient information to reasonably conclude that the current use pattern of MAAC will not adversely affect public health or the environment. ** Vitalzym® is a registered trademark of World Nutrition Inc., which is not affiliated with, nor sponsors or endorses this product or any other product from Specialty Enzymes & Biotechnologies or AST Enzymes.   Research   Inflammation and Fibrin The reality of inflammation is that it affects everyone, men and women alike. However, along with nearly all other tissue and organs, inflammation can affect reproductive tissue and organs particularly. For instance, many women experience painful swelling of the breast as well as uterine fibroids. In men, prostate health is a major concern. Although inflammation in each case may manifest differently in both men and women, inflammation has one thing in common: fibrin. Fibrin is an essential protein that is produced during inflammation. As a blood clotting protein, the body utilizes fibrin to contain blood loss and keep infection at bay after injury. It is the initial step in the body’s attempts at recovery. However, when inflammation has become prolonged, fibrin along with other proteins such as collagen can begin to transform original tissue into a tough fibrous matrix. Differentiated and sometimes sequestered apart from healthy tissue, this fibrous matrix still has the biological markers of inflammation. Nutrients and other building blocks are still needed for healthy and normal tissue. Systemic and proteolytic enzyme research over the years suggests that fibroids in women and swollen prostate glands in men are indications that the body has not been able to get past inflammation. The resulting fibrous tissue usually accumulates toxins that have not been adequately removed by the body. Serrapeptase Research: Anti-inflammatory Activity For nearly 40 years, serrapeptase has been at the heart of systemic enzyme therapy. Systemic enzymes such as serrapeptase have been used for optimal cell, tissue, organ and metabolic function. Likewise, companies, health practitioners and consumers have turned to the original Exclzyme formulation for their systemic enzyme therapy needs. Researchers in India conducted a study to assess the response of serrapeptase in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). They wanted to determine if a conservative, non-surgical approach would be beneficial. Twenty patients with CTS were evaluated clinically after 6 weeks taking serrapeptase. Sixty five percent showed significant clinical improvement, which was supported by improvement in electrophysiological parameters. No significant side effects were observed. The doctors concluded that serrapeptase therapy may prove to be a useful alternative conservative treatment.1 A clinical evaluation of serrapeptase was conducted to determine its efficacy in reducing inflammation in patients with breast engorgement. Serrapeptase was noted to be superior to placebo for improvement of breast pain, breast swelling and induration and while 85.7% of the patients receiving serrapeptase had "Moderate to Marked" improvement. No adverse reactions were reported with the use of serrapeptase. The researchers conclude that serrapeptase is a safe and effective method for the treatment of breast engorgement.2 Moving to another part of the body, a study was conducted in men with amicrobial prostato-vesiculitis (APV is a non-infectious inflammation of the prostate). The researchers wanted to determine if treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) drugs, including serrapeptase, could reduce inflammation and swelling of the prostate. The doctors conclude that in APV patients, the treatment with NSAIDS, including serrapeptase is an effective therapy, producing multiple positive effects.3 Exclzyme Benefits and Sports Nutrition Enzymes are energetic catalysts that push essential chemical reactions in the body in the right direction. In its quest for internal balance, the body always turns to enzymes for help. In this way, Exclzyme helps get inflamed tissue over the hump. Exclzyme’s superior proteolytic action assists the body in removing those larger protein molecules from damaged cells and tissues as well as the inflammatory response itself. In helping breakdown these compounds, the impediments for sustaining healthy cell and tissue growth are removed and the processes for rejuvenation and recovery can move forward. These facets of Exclzyme make it ideal for maintaining healthy tissue repair following strenuous physical training and activity. Sport- and exercise-related muscle pain and inflammation brought on by strong physical tension, excessive training, and heavy competition are decreased with “excellent results” due to the specific activity of systemic enzymes on exercise-induced inflammation.4 Taking systemic enzymes prior activity can also provide protective benefits to athletes who are at risk of injury, resulting in significantly reduced duration of injury symptoms and related absences from training and work. Systemic enzyme support also improves recovery from sprains, as well as shortens recovery from sport injuries severe enough to require surgery.5,6 Enzyme Activity  Enteric Coated Serrapeptase Used by silkworms to digest and emerge from their silken cocoons; studied extensively for more than 50 years; an excellent fibrinolytic (fibrin digesting) and powerful anti-inflammatory enzyme* Protease Hydrolyze (break-down) proteins like casein, steak, gelatin, soy, fish and other plant and animal proteins to smaller chains of polypeptides (small proteins) and amino acids for easier uptake throughout the body Bromelain A collective name for the proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes found in the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus); known for its anti-inflammatory properties.  A good substitute for animal-based enzymes a good substitute for pepsin and trypsin for digestive support* Papain Obtained from the latex of the fruit of the Papaya tree; used for centuries as an effective digestive aid* Amylase Breaks down carbohydrates, or more specifically, starches, into smaller dextrins and sugars; produced naturally by humans, microorganisms and plants Lipase Catalyzes the break-down of fats into essential fatty acids needed for healthy tissues and cells* Amla Also known as Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis); a natural, efficacious antioxidant, and one of the richest sources of absorbable vitamin C Rutin Bioflavonoid; strengthens and tones arteries and veins; provides antioxidant support against free-radicals and inflammation*     References 1.

FAQ         What is systemic enzyme therapy? Systemic enzyme therapy refers to the therapeutic use of natural enzymes to produce desired healing effects. Systemic enzymes are absorbed from the small intestine where they enter the bloodstream and execute their effects on the entire body as a system. Their crucial role in normal inflammatory response assists and supports the body in accelerating healing.   What is a systemic proteolytic enzyme? Proteolytic enzymes break down proteins into their building-blocks, which are called amino acids. Systemic proteolytic enzymes are responsible for breaking down accumulated protein and waste substances found in the circulatory system and connective tissue. Waste materials produced from inflammation and other biochemical processes can build up, contributing to excessive scarring and perpetuated immune responses. Excessive scarring, particularly of the organs, can exacerbate symptoms of the associated disease. The waste product of specific concern is known as fibrin. Regular systemic proteolytic enzyme use can improve circulation and aid in flushing out these waste products.   What is fibrin? Fibrin is a protein-based substance that is needed to help clot one’s blood, playing a substantial role in immune response and healing. When the body responds to injury or chronic inflammation, fibrin is recruited to the damaged area to form scar tissue. Although the body is equipped with plasmin, a naturally occurring enzyme responsible for breaking down excess fibrin, some people are at a disadvantage – as aging occurs, plasmin levels progressively decrease. This actually increases the risk for excessive, undesirable scar tissue formation in the body.   Are systemic enzymes anti-inflammatory drugs? Although systemic enzymes produce anti-inflammatory effects, they are not considered a drug. Since enzymes are naturally occurring within the body, systemic enzyme therapy is considered supplementation. One difference between systemic enzymes and NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) involves the duration of action. While NSAIDs produce short-term pain relief, systemic enzymes can produce long-term alleviation with appropriate use. The largest difference between NSAIDS and systemic enzymes is the mechanism of action and possible side effects. NSAIDs block the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for inflammation and swelling. However, prostaglandins protect the lining of the stomach, and prolonged use of NSAIDs can reduce this protection and increase the risk of developing ulcers. Conversely, regular use of systemic enzymes has no negative side effects and can actually provide protective effects against excess inflammation.   Why is it important to take Exclzyme on an empty stomach? 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 Exclzyme with food will compromise their absorption, as well as their effectiveness.   Does Exclzyme have an enteric coating? Yes, the serrapeptase in Exclzyme is enterically coated. While similar systemic enzymes may have the same active ingredients, most do not utilize enteric coating. The purpose of enteric coating is to protect the enzyme from the acidic environment of the stomach. High activity level is preserved until the enzymes reach the small intestine, where absorption into the bloodstream takes place. While the enteric coating can withstand the acidic environment of the stomach, the alkaline environment of the small intestine will disintegrate the enteric coating, allowing the enzyme to be active within the bloodstream.   Do you use phthalates in your enteric coating? No, our enteric coating does not use or contain phthalates. At AST Enzymes, we use Methacrylic Acid Copolymer (MAAC) for our enteric coating. Compared to other commonly used enteric coating agents such as Cellulose Acetate Phthalate (CAP) and Hydroxypropyl Methycellulose Phthalate (HPMCP), MAAC is the most gastro-resistant and does not carry the same risks. Additionally, MAAC is considered GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the FDA and is approved for use by the European Food Safety Authority.

Since people experience varying ailments and severity of disease, the length of time to include systemic enzymes in your regimen may vary as well. As an overall guideline, it is typically recommended that new systemic enzyme users start off slow. A starter dose is generally one capsule, three times daily. After three to four days of proven tolerance, the dose can be increased to a therapeutic dose of 3 capsules, 3 times per day. At this point, results may be monitored, and dosage should be adjusted accordingly. Some consumers find their therapeutic dose between 9-15 capsules per day, while others only need 3-6. There are several factors that may affect results and required dosage, including: ·         Height ·         Weight ·         Age ·         Severity of symptoms ·         Tolerance ·         Time of administration (Better absorbed on an empty stomach) ·         Adherence to regimen ·         Nutritional state   What if I miss a dose? 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 - and remember, systemic enzymes are best absorbed on an empty stomach.   Are there any side effects involved with Exclzyme? The use of Exclzyme has not been shown to exhibit detrimental effects, neither long term nor short term. Just as dosage requirements vary, side effects may vary as well. Although gastrointestinal disturbances have been reported by a small percentage of new users, tolerance is maintained once the dosage is adjusted. 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, especially if you are currently on blood-thinning medications or if you are pregnant or nursing.   Can I take Exclzyme with other systemic enzymes? Systemic enzymes may be taken together, yielding desirable results, as long as they are taken on an empty stomach. In fact, it is often recommended that systemic enzymes be combined. Products like Exclzyme and Peptizyme-SP often have synergistic effects when taken together. This means that the separate products work together to produce advantageous results. By combining and enhancing the activity of the enzymes, their effects on the healing process are more attainable.   Can I take Exclzyme with digestive enzymes? Although digestive and systemic enzymes are not contraindicated in terms of ingredients, they cannot 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.     Supplement Facts Serving Size:  1 CapsulesServings Per Container: 90 Amount Per Serving                          %DV Proprietary Enzyme Blend:                      500 mg *   Protease, Peptizyme SP® EN (Enteric   coated Serrapeptase), Papain,   Bromelain, Amylase, Lipase, Rutin   and Amla. *Daily Value (DV) not established Other ingredients:  Microcrystalline cellulose, and cellulose.

Do you suffer from any of the following issues? High cholesterol High blood pressure Joint pain Rheumatoid arthritis Skin disorders (e.g. psoriasis, dermatitis) Obesity AMD (age-related macular degeneration) Heart disease Depression Liver disease Osteoporosis Chronic inflammation ADHD Struggles to concentrate Asthma If so, then Krill Oil Omega-3 could be one of the essential supplements to improve your overall health.How can Krill Oil Omega-3 help you with this?The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends every person consume around two portions of fish each week, as the omega-3s found in fish and other sea creatures are a key ingredient in living a healthy, balanced lifestyle. If you’re vegetarian, vegan, or simply don’t eat seafood, then you should receive your weekly intake of omega-3 through a natural supplement.The omega-3 nutrients found in marine life are an important source of energy and have been scientifically proven to support your immune system. These nutrients are present in every cell wall in the body, and therefore play an important role in building and maintaining your natural defense systems.One of the key health benefits of Krill Oil Omega-3 is that it reduces inflammation. Inflammation is our natural response to fighting infections and healing injuries. However, chronic inflammation is associated with numerous health disorders, including asthma, obesity, depression, and heart disease. By reducing inflammation, we can alleviate symptoms of these diseases.    Krill Oil Omega-3 has also been known to improve risk factors surrounding heart disease. Several decades ago, researchers noticed that fish-eating communities had unusually low rates of heart diseases and strokes. Since then, omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to numerous benefits for heart health, such as reducing triglycerides, lowering blood pressure, raising "good" HDL cholesterol levels, and clearing plaque from the walls of your arteries.What are other benefits of Krill Oil Omega-3?Krill Oil Omega-3 can be considered one of the fundamental supplements, in that it can be used to manage a wide range of health conditions. Some additional proven health benefits of krill oil include: Improve eyesight Improve brain health Skin health Reduce symptoms of ADHD Stronger immune system Emotional and mental wellbeing Lower levels of liver fat Alleviate menstrual pain What is Krill Oil Omega-3?Omega-3 fish oils are an effective health supplement containing the natural fats extracted from fish tissue. It is typically taken from oily fish such as tuna, anchovies, herring and mackerel. However, it’s also sometimes produced from the livers of other fish — for example, cod liver oil.Over the past years, Krill Oil has rapidly gained popularity as an alternative to fish oil. It is made from krill, a small crustacean consumed by whales, penguins and other sea animals. Similar to fish oil, Krill Oil Omega-3 is a strong source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and astaxanthin, natural omega-3 fats only found in marine life.Many consider Krill Oil superior to Fish Oil because it contains astaxanthin. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant, astaxanthin is also a natural preservative. This prevents the omega-3 fish oil from turning rancid, which is a common problem with other fish oils.How is our Krill Oil Omega-3 supplement better than others you may have tried?Omega-3 is a popular health supplement on the market, but certain manufacturers do not adhere to the same high standards of quality as Feel Younger. There are several reasons why our Krill Oil Omega-3 supplements are superior to similar products.To begin with, our supplement has a higher concentration of the active ingredients EPA and DHA. These two key nutrients present in fish and marine life oils play an essential role in improving your immune system and counteracting the effects of ageing. Although many Omega-3 supplements advertise 1000mg of fatty oils on the front of their containers, if you look at the list of ingredients on the back, you’ll notice they often contain as little as 320mg of EPA and DHA. On the other hand, Feel Younger’s Krill Oil Omega-3 supplements have a 500mg portion of EPA and DHA, promising you the healthy, recommended intake of these two nutrients.Our Krill Oil Omega-3 supplements also contain another key nutrient: astaxanthin. Studies have shown that astaxanthin activates the white blood cells in your body, improving your immune system. It has also been known to help protect your skin from UV damage.Feel Younger’s Krill Oil Omega-3 supplements also come in softgel capsules. As a result, they're easily absorbed into the body and don’t have the unpleasant fishy taste of similar supplements. As is the case with all our dietary supplements, the Feel Younger krill oil capsules are gluten-free and made from all natural ingredients.How do you take Krill Oil Omega-3?As a dietary supplement, it’s recommended you take one (1) softgel capsule twice a day. For the best results, take your dose 20-30 minutes before a meal with an 8oz. glass of water or as directed by your healthcare professional.Are there any cautions?Though omega-3 supplements are generally considered safe, you should check with a healthcare professional before taking them. If you are allergic to fish or shellfish, seek advice from your healthcare professional first.Fish oil is likely safe for most people in doses of 5 grams or less dailyFish oil might slow blood clotting. Taking fish oil along with medications that also slow blood clotting might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18, and individuals with a known medical condition should also consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.

Astragalus is a chinese food grade tonic herb traditionally used as a qi tonic, to increase the vital energy in the body. It has a warming effect and a mild, slightly sweet, pleasant taste. It is traditionally often added to food as its said to tonify the digestive system. Astragalus is high in phytochemicals and polysaccharides. What are herbal extracts? Herbal extracts are an excellent way of getting the nutrition and goodness from a herb, without the trouble of sometimes elaborate preparation. They are also a way of getting the goodness in as concentrated a form as possible. How are herbal extracts made? The raw herbs are prepared by hot water extraction, the water is then evaporated off until all that is lelf is the essential oils and active ingredients. These are then bound together in an excipient, small amounts of non-GM corn flour. This is the most pure and unadulterated way to enjoy tonic herbal extracts possible. Purity: this vegan product is free from wheat, gluten, soya, added sugar, salt, test, lactose, preservatives, or any other fillers. Not tested on animals. Directions: these tonic herbs are food grade and safe to use as you would culinary herbs. They can be added to any foods or drinks. Suggested uses are either to add 1/2 a teaspoon to a healthy juice or smoothie, or to prepare them as an instant tonic tea, but simply putting 1/2 a teaspoon in a cup or mug, and adding hot water. Recommended upper limit: do not exceed 1 teaspoon of herbal extract today unless guided to by a qualified healthcare professional.
