Enzymedica - Protein Optimize Protein Digestion Enhancer - 90 Capsules

Enzymedica Protein Optimize is designed to improve the digestion process of proteins. Protein Optimize™ is designed to improve the process of protein digestion. This formula was designed to be taken in conjunction with protein either in powder form, bar form, or derived from high protein meals. Supplementation with these enzymes can be critical in order to handle the increased digestive demands on the human body. Protein Optimize helps to provide maximum nutrient availability for the recovery and rebuilding process. In addition to its applications for sports nutrition supplementation, an additional application for this product includes those people in the aging population who need additional protein, but are no longer as efficient at digesting it.

Additional Information about Protein Optimize:

Protein Optimize for improved digestion of proteins. Protein Optimize is designed to improve the process of protein digestion, making it an excellent addition to protein supplements. This formula was designed to be taken in conjunction with protein either in powder form, bar form, or derived from high protein meals. Supplementation with these enzymes can be critical in order to handle the increased digestive demands on the human body. It helps to provide maximum nutrient availability for the recovery and rebuilding process. In addition to its applications for sports nutrition supplementation, an additional application for this product includes those people in the aging population who need additional protein, but are no longer as efficient at digesting the macromolecule.

Although there are a number of metabolic advantages to increasing protein intake, some sources of proteins are not easily digested by the enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract. The undigested protein ends up in the large intestine and can be fermented by the intestinal flora. Some of the metabolic byproducts of this fermentation can be potentially toxic. Therefore, it is vitally important that protein is digested as completely as possible, and absorbed by the small intestine before reaching the large intestine.

About Enzymedica: The Enzyme Experts

Enzymedica's Mission:
Enzymedica is dedicated to providing exceptional enzyme-focused supplements at the most therapeutic levels available in the natural foods industry and beyond. It is their commitment to provide unprecedented education and research that propels individuals on the path to vibrant health.

In the spring of 1998, Enzymedica was born. The role of Enzymedica is to offer the public the most effective enzyme products available. They utilize the expertise of  doctors, researchers and clinicians in formulating each of their products. They are proud of what they have to offer the public, namely therapeutic enzyme supplements that have been health professional proven.

Enzymedica's entire focus and purpose is enzymes. They are the experts. Unlike most of their competitors, Enzymedica does not make vitamin supplements or herbal cleanses. All they manufacture are the highest quality, highest potency enzyme products available.

Enzymedica products are Health Professional proven. Enzymedica products contain the highest therapeutic activities available. No other company uses higher active units in a multiple enzyme line. In addition to a digestive enzyme that is on average three times stronger than their competitors, Enzymedica has a therapeutic digestive enzyme blend, a carbohydrate digestion and allergy assistance blend, a blood purifier, and a fat digestion and cardiovascular product.

Enzymedica is proud to be GMP Registered through NSF International. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are guidelines that provide a system of processes, procedures, and documentation to assure the product produced has the identity, strength, composition, quality, and purity that it is represented to possess.

NSF International helps protect you by certifying products and writing standards for food, water and consumer goods. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, NSF's ongoing public health commitment is to encourage everyone to live safer. The NSF GMP Registration for contract manufacturers and internal manufacturing facilities of dietary supplement companies enables contract manufacturers to become independently registered by NSF as complying with GMP requirements as listed in Section 8 of NSF/ANSI Standard 173-2006. NSF's Dietary Supplement Standard is updated to keep pace with FDA GMP regulations.

Enzymedica uses an exclusive Thera-blend process for its protease, lipase, amylase and cellulase. This means that each of these enzymes actually represents multiple strains. For example, there are actually four proteases in the Thera-blend protease. They are blended for their ability to break down numerous bonds of protein in varying pH levels. Enzymedica does this at a considerable expense. From a label description Enzymedica also sacrifices active units to provide the best blend possible. A single protease, for example, could produce more active units per milligram than a multiple protease. However, the active pH would be narrow and the number of protein bonds it could break would be limited.

Enzymedica products are 100% vegan and vegetarian. Enzymedica uses no fillers in any of its enzyme formulations.

You will no doubt notice how small the capsules are in comparison to similar products. This is a result of using concentrates with no fillers.

Research Efforts
Enzymedica continues to research the therapeutic effectiveness of plant based enzymes through doctors and clinicians. Currently, the company is coordinating and funding research that is ongoing. Enzymedica has every batch third party tested. This ensures they always meet label claim.
