Fibrenza

Fibrenza is formulated to reduce aches and pains from inflammation, and to help speed recovery from all types of injuries (sports, car accidents or medical operations). May restore youthful performance and ease pancreas health issues too.

Proteolytic Enzymes are catalysts that make biological reactions possible. Without proteolytic enzymes the chemical reactions that support your life would be too slow.

Most of the 3000 enzymes involved in over 7000 enzymatic reactions in your body are derived or created from protein digesting enzymes. While digestion is important, proteolytic enzymes also act as:

• Natural Anti-inflammatory, Anti-viral and Anti-bacterial
• Fibrinolytic (dissolves external and even internal scar tissues)
• Blood Cleansing (minimize the leading causes of blood clots)
• Immune System Modulating (for inflammatory diseases of joints, connective tissue, energy production)

Efficiently effective and affordable... you only need to take 4-6 capsules a day!

The "Old School" Systemic Enzymes blended animal pancreatin with fruit proteolytic enzymes and then added Trypsin and Chymotrypsin extracts (also from Pancreatin) to create a wide-ranging and effective action. Trypsin and Chymotrypsin are very expensive, but also very effective, because they last over 24 hours.

The "New School" Systemic Enzymes blend fruit, vegetable and fermented fungal based proteolytic enzymes (such as fermented Serrapeptase). Serrapeptase is substantially stronger than Trypsin or Chymotrypsin, and it increases the blend's effectiveness several fold. The drawback is that these enzymes only have 4 to 6 hours of action before they leave the body. The stronger Serrapeptase is far less expensive than Chymotrypsin and Trypsin.

Systemic Enzymes

Systemic enzymes function not just in your digestion but throughout your body in every system and organ.

Natural Anti-inflammatory
Inflammation (heat, pain, redness and swelling) is needed for rebuilding new cells. But if chronic, it may lead to inflammatory diseases.

Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Celebrex, Vioxx, cause thousands of deaths every year, and hospitalizations for liver damage, kidney damage or bleeding intestines from side effects.

Systemic Enzymes are harmless and side-effect-free. They may reduce inflammation and thereby eliminate pain and increase mobility.

Fibrinolytic Enzymes

Proteolytic Enzymes dissolve scar tissue and fibrosis that is built from scar tissue. Doctors learn in anatomy classes that fibrosis is associated with stiffening associated with aging. Since maturity at about age of 27, our enzymes levels diminish. Your body has a finite supply of enzymes and you use up most of them by the time you are finished growing. (Cystic Fibrosis is an illness of low enzyme production that causes formation of fibrosis or scar tissue, terminal before you reach 30.).

The repair mechanism slows down and fibrin deposits start to accumulate in nearly every internal organ and blood vessel. Women experience scar tissue build-up in their breasts, uterus and abdomen. Athletes lose flexibility and strength. Everyone grows arterial scar tissue (plaque). Fibrin knits a spider web within and around internal organs reducing their size and function. Wounds heal with thicker, less pliable, weaker and more visible scars.

Fibrinolytic enzymes help dissolve old scar tissues, both internal and external.

Blood Cleansing

Proteolytic Enzymes improve circulation by eating the excess fibrin that causes blood to become too thick, to form clots. When your liver becomes sluggish and toxic and no longer keeps up with cleaning the trash out of your blood, these enzymes restore youthful performance.

Cleaning excess fibrin from the blood and reducing the stickiness of blood cells minimizes the risk of blood clots and improves heart health. Cleansing the FC receptors on white blood cells improves their function and ability to fight off infections.

Immune System Modulating

Enzymes are adaptogenic, seeking to restore balanced in the body. When the immune system is running low we become susceptible to infectious disease, when it’s overstimulated, it creates antibodies that attack your own tissues as seen in autoimmune diseases. Proteolytic enzymes will tone down immune function and eat away at the antibodies the immune system is making to attack its bodies own tissue.

Antiviral and Antibacterial

Viruses harm us by replicating in our bodies. To do this a virus must bond itself to the DNA in our cells through the medium of its exterior protein cell wall. Anything that disrupts that cell wall inhibits the ability of viral replication by rendering individual viruses inert. Systemic enzymes can tell the difference between the proteins that are supposed to be in your body and those that are foreign or not supposed to be there, (again the enzyme lock and key mechanism). Serrapeptase has the strongest protein eating effect of any commercially available proteolytic enzyme and can be of help in combating viruses.

Systemic Enzymes also have been found to have mild antibacterial properties. A bacteria is a foreign protein (exogenous). Proteolytic enzymes eat exogenous proteins in the body.

Most doctors are not aware of the pioneering research done by Dr. Max Wolf (MD and PhD) at Columbia University through 1970’s. There are currently over 200 peer reviewed research articles dealing with the absorption, utilization and therapeutic action of orally administered systemic enzymes. A search through Pub Med using the key words: serrapeptase, papain, bromelain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, nattokinase and systemic enzyme will yield some of the extensive work. Systemic enzymes now have a 4 decade plus history of widespread medical use in Europe and Japan.

Seaprose-S® is a proteolytic (protein eating) enzyme that has been shown in studies to be one of the strongest inflammatory oral enzymes available today.

Nattokinase NSK-SD® is an enzyme that is recommended for cardiovascular health due to its blood-cleansing and fibrin dissolving effects.

Serratiopeptidase (Serrapeptase), Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Protease, Acid Stable Protease, Bromelain, Papain and Peptidase are proteolytic enzymes that break down proteins, toxins, and other cellular debris. Numerous clinical and laboratory studies have demonstrated these enzymes to have significant anti-inflammatory properties. They are also widely used to limit the debilitating effects of excess fibrin formation.

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that helps break down potentially harmful oxygen molecules in cells, which may prevent damage to tissues. A potent antioxidant, it is the foundation of anti-aging and detoxification protocols worldwide. Its profound benefits also include inflammation control.

Pancreatin, amylase, and lipase are enzymes that digest protein, carbohydrates, and fat. When administered for systemic effect, these enzymes work to cleanse the body of toxic debris.

AcidDefenz TECHNOLOGY

An proteolytic enzyme supplement is only as effective as its delivery system. Systemic enzymes must survive the harsh acidic environment of the stomach before reaching the small intestine, where they are absorbed into the bloodstream. In order to protect against these stomach acids, many systemic enzymes on the market consist of enteric coated capsules that contain phthalates (plasticizers), genetically modified vegetable coatings, or other unhealthy chemicals. Some are also available in tablet form, which in addition to containing unhealthy fillers and binders, may be more difficult to break down for timely absorption. Fibrenza utilizes a technologically advanced capsule to provide maximum protection against stomach acids without the use of phthalates or harmful chemicals and solvents.

The new AcidDefenz capsule consists of a non-GMO vegetable cellulose barrier that allows for a timed release of the proteolytic enzymes for absorption into the bloodstream. In addition to being a much healthier alternative to phthalates, it may also allow for more consistent enzyme absorption than traditional enteric coatings.

Directions for Use

Best taken on an empty stomach with water (20 minutes before meals).

Take 2 capsules, twice daily.

You may start with a higher (activation) dose of 4 capsules, twice daily for the first two weeks.

Your healthcare provider may recommend higher doses.

Recommended Use

Potent enzyme blend helps reduce pain from inflammation and speed recovery from all types of injuries (sports, car accidents or medical operations). Helps restore youthful performance and ease pancreas health issues too.

Contraindications

Systemic enzymes are generally well tolerated, even when taken in extremely high doses. Some users may experience detoxification symptoms such as nausea, headache, fatigue or other flu-like symptoms. This detoxification is a healthy process for the body and is normally mild in nature. Symptoms may be reduced by increasing water consumption or temporarily reducing dosage.

If you are a hemophiliac or are on prescription blood thinners like Coumadin and Heparin, do not take these without direct medical supervision. The enzymes may cause the drugs to be thinning the blood too much.
