Enzymedica, Enzyme Defense Capsules

The Basics:

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.

Enzyme Defense is not an "immune stimulator," but rather a supporter of healthy immune function.

Thera-blend is an exclusive process that combines multiple strains of enzymes that work at specific pH levels, resulting in superior performance in the body.

The Science:

Enzyme Defense is an improved version of ViraStop. The enhanced formula contains a 60% increase in Serrapeptase (also known as Serratiopeptidase).

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 proteins, cellular debris, and proteins that don't belong in the bloodstream. Research has shown that oral proteases, taken as a dietary supplement on an empty stomach, are absorbed and carried into the bloodstream where they are bound to plasma proteins known as Alpha-II-macroglobulin. 1

Enzyme Defense is not an "immune stimulator," but rather a supporter of healthy immune function.

Thera-blend is an exclusive process that combines multiple strains of enzymes that work at specific pH levels, resulting in superior performance in the body. The unique Enzyme Defense formula includes Enzymedica's protease Thera-blend which 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 formula are Mucolase and Serrapeptase. These enzymes digest mucus, encourage healthy circulation, and support systemic health.

If a higher potency formula is desired, try Enzymedica's Enzyme Defense Extra Strength. It is the same great product at double the strength of Enzyme Defense.
