Vitalzym can help relieve a variety of fibromyalgia related symptoms by addressing many of the underlying causes. These symptoms include:

  • Pain and Stiffness
  • Fatigue
  • Poor Circulation
  • Digestive Troubles
  • Irritable Bowel / Bladder

Vitalzym can also be a safer alternative to many prescription and over the counter pain relievers that may cause undesirable side effects, which is the last thing a fibromyalgia sufferer needs.


Vitalzym and Fibromyalgia

Vitalzym helps remove excess fibrin from the muscles and tissues, blood, clears cellular debris from the blood, lymph, and microcirculatory system. It also helps cleanse the liver and intestinal tract, which decreases toxic overloads that can increase fibromyalgia symptoms. Additionally, it can help reduce viral loads and help regulate the immune system; all important factors for those addressing fibromyalgia.

Recent clinical experience is now beginning to suggest that fatigue, pain, and other symptoms suffered by patients with fibromyalgia are in relation to the accumulation of proteins (fibrin) in the blood and lymph, also known as hypercoagulation. [1] Fibromyalgia literally means pain in the muscles and fibrous connective tissue.

Introducing NEW Vitalzym: Even More Potent Than Before

The Role of Fibrin in Fibromyalgia Pain
   
Fibromyalgia and Fatigue
 

If the rate of protein (fibrin) accumulation exceeds the rate of breakdown, the microcirculatory system gets clogged and flow decreases. This stagnation of protein debris promotes fibrosis in the muscles and other soft tissues. Combine this with slowed blood flow and the results are widespread pain and chronic fatigue.

Vitalzym vs. Prescription Medications

Current therapies for fibromyalgia generally include prescription medications to address symptoms. However, these medications do very little to address underlying causes, nor do they help reduce the fibrosis buildup within the muscles and the ischemic pain that can result from having this condition. [2]

Vitalzym can be a safe alternative to many prescriptions and over the counter pain relievers that may cause undesirable side effects, which is the last thing one who is suffering needs. Vitalzym can also help relieve a variety of related fibromyalgia symptoms by addressing many of the underlying causes.

Incorporating Vitalzym into your regimen can help you address fibromyalgia at a deeper level, rather than just address the symptoms; thereby reducing pain and related ailments without the negative side effects associated with pharmaceutical drugs.

How Vitalzym can Help

In the case of fibromyalgia, fibrin (a stiff protein) forms a meshwork, or screen that slows blood flow to the cells. This interferes with cell function and cell-to-cell communications leading to the accumulation of additional forms of protein debris. Therefore, the symptoms of fibromyalgia can respond well to treatments that are aimed at clearing protein debris. [1]

Vitalzym contains enzymes such as protease and serrapeptase, which are well-known for their proteolytic (excess protein clearing) properties. Proteolytic enzymes break down excess fibrin in your circulatory system and in other connective tissue, such as your muscles – helping to remove the meshwork that slows blood flow to the cells. These enzymes also bring nutrients and oxygen-rich blood that remove the metabolic waste produced by inflammation and excess fibrin. This alone can bring tremendous relief to fibromyalgia sufferers.

Researchers are beginning to believe that there is a strong autoimmune component connected to fibromyalgia syndrome. Interestingly enough, systemic enzyme therapy has an excellent track record regarding the treatment of various autoimmune diseases. In addition to reducing inflammation, regulating immunity, and reducing excess fibrin, serrapeptase has a profound ability to reduce pain due to its ability to block the release of pain-inducing amines from inflamed tissues.

Enteric Coating - State of the Art Delivery System

Enteric Coating is Necessary...Why?

When we take a typical supplement, the capsule or table is swallowed and travels down the esophagus to the stomach. In the stomach, the tablet or capsule is churned and gyrated in the highly acidic digestive secretions with pH 1.0-4.0, for 45 minutes to 2 hours. If there is anything left of the table or capsule (and its contents), it will be passed through the duodenum to the small intestine.

The 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. Systemic enzymes, whose activity is significantly reduced in an acidic environment, must be protected from it for their utmost effectiveness.

Some 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.

What happens to uncoated tablets and capsules? Stomach acid breaks down tablets and capsules to prematurely release active ingredients (enzymes). The highly acidic environment of the stomach destroys the majority of the enzymes' activities. If the tablet is of poor quality (contains binders and fillers) the product may pass through both the stomach and intestine with no absorption.

Studies have shown that certain 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 acid is to enteric-coat the enzymes.


What benefit does a delivery system serve?

Duodenum Looking at the delivery system refers to how the enzyme(s) is manufactured, whether it is a powder inside a capsule, a tablet, or as an enterically coated liquid gel, which is the most effective, state of the art delivery system on the market today. Learn more about delivery systems.

Benefits of Enteric Coating:

  1. Protects capsule or tablet contents from acidic environments of stomach
  2. After passing through the stomach allows capsule or tablet to break down easily in pancreatic juices in the Duodenum*  (pH 6-8)
  3. Enables absorption of enzymes, at their highest activity levels, in the small intestine

Note: Not all enzymes are manufactured with enteric coating, and so often a premature release of certain enzymes can cause minimal if any absorption of the ingredients in the blood stream where they belong.

*(approximately 1st 10" of small intestine).


Vitalzym's Enteric Coating

Vitalzym Systemic Enzymes with Enteric CoatingVitalzym has been reformulated to use an enteric coated gel capsule manufactured under pharmaceutical-grade guidelines.

Though revolutionary to nutritional systemic enzyme blends, this enteric coating process is similar to that used in today's 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 new 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.

Dr. David Getoff talks about
the quality and benefits of the
new fully enteric coated Vitalzym formulation.
Dr. David Getoff video about Vitalzym Systemic Enzymes

Solubilized Liquid-Filled Gel Capsule

Vitalzym Enteric Coated CapsulesAt the center of the advanced delivery system is a new Solubilized Liquid-Filled Gel Capsule used to enhance the absorption of Vitalzym.  The technology of liquid-filled capsules is superior to that of capsules filled with powder because it uses low heat production, provides more uniform dose distribution, and prolongs enzyme activity.

Low Heat Production– Powder enzyme blends are available today that use an enteric coating, but they are typically in tablet form.  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.  Solubilized Liquid-Filled Gel Capsules allow for an enteric coated enzyme without activity loss from heat. Throughout all of the processes, Vitalzym is produced under strictly controlled temperature ranges.

Optimal Distribution– Liquid enzyme blends 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.

Prolonged Enzyme Activity– 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. Vitalzym 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 Vitalzym is produced.  Vitalzym is manufactured to have a 5-year shelf life with no loss of activity when properly stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed.


How Enteric Coating Evolved

Over the years, there have been various methods of enteric coating to help protect the enzymes that can be destroyed by stomach acid and some have been proven to be more effective than others.  As you will see, the latest technology of enteric coating has been used to protect the enzymes in Vitalzym.

The Evolution of Systemic Enzyme Delivery Systems


Are You Choosing the Right Enzyme Product?

Enteric Coated CapsuleStomach acid breaks down tablets and capsules to prematurely release the active ingredients of an enzyme formula, such as Vitalzym. The highly acidic environment of the stomach can destroy the majority of the enzymes' activities.

Additionally, if the tablet is of poor quality (contains binders and fillers) the product may pass through both the stomach and intestines with no absorption.  However, the effectiveness of an enzyme is determined by the amount of activity level in the bloodstream after the enzyme has been absorbed from the small intestine.

Enzymes lose activity in low pH (1-3) of the stomach. Studies show unprotected enzymes can lose up to 100% of their activity in 30 minutes or less!  Therefore, the only reliable method is to ensure 100% of the enzymes are not destroyed is to enteric coat the enzymes.


Lab Results and Research Testing

Testing shows how effectiveness of the enzyme is important to understand how the enzyme given the delivery system will interact with your body. This refers to how the enzyme will withstand the different acidic areas of the body as it passes from your mouth, down your esophagus, into your stomach, through your duodenum and small intestine and finally finding its way into the blood stream.

Residual Activity vs pH

There is misleading information about the effectiveness of many systemic enzyme products in the market today.  In order to demonstrate how the active enzymes in a fully enteric-coated systemic enzyme product are more available to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the small intestine, a number of laboratory tests have been performed.

The following tests demonstrate that of the products tested, only the fully enteric coated product maintains its full activity level by passing through the acid of the stomach. 

These tests have been conducted under laboratory conditions by Japan Food Research Laboratories, an independent government laboratory authorized by the Japanese government, and are only intended to show the likely results of the loss of enzyme activity levels on various enzyme products when those products are subjected to simulated common stomach acid conditions. The actual enzyme activity levels of these products, when absorbed into the bloodstream, may vary based on your own body's metabolism and pH level.

Disintegration & Dissolution Test: To determine the availability of enzyme activity after passing through the stomach acid for the fully enteric-coated systemic enzyme product, Vitalzym®, the "Disintegration Test (Enteric-coated capsule)", was performed in accordance with the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, Seventh and Fifteenth Editions. This test simulated the acid conditions of the stomach and tested for the disintegration of the sample capsules within a prescribe time period. In the case of Vitalzym®, the test result indicated that the product conformed to acceptable test criteria. For detailed test results, see this link: Vitalzym Disintegration Certificate of Analysis

For products that did not pass the test criteria, the following Protease Activity Loss Tests were performed to determine the actual amount of enzyme loss in the simulated conditions.

1. Neutral Protease Activity Test: A sample of each enzyme product was tested in a neutral state (100% activity) utilizing a standard protease activity assay method.

2. Protease Activity Test: A sample of each enzyme product was then tested utilizing the same test procedure after being exposed to the simulated acid condition of the stomach.

While Vitalzym passed the enteric coating test, the following table illustrates the activity losses for the other systemic enzyme products tested:

Customer Testimonials

I wanted to share with you the fact that Vitalzym has given me such tremendous relief from my fibromyalgia symptoms. When I first started taking it I was desperate and in agony. I couldn't sit, couldn't lie down, standing hurt, everything hurt. Vitalzym has been the one product that I have found to help with the chronic pain and it wasn't long after starting to take it that I noticed the pain subsiding. Thank you for offering products for someone like myself who believes in natural treatments before chemical complications. I highly recommend this product to anyone.
-Tami H, North Carolina


At the height of my fibromyalgia, I was taking 4 different prescription medications to control the pain and fati gue. After much trial and error of mixing natural supplements on my own, I found Vitalzym. Recommended to me by a nutritionist, I began taking 8 capsules per day of Vitalzym. After the first month I slowly reduced the amount to four capsules per day, which I still take. I am happy to say that I am back to training for a half marathon and living every day to its fullest and prescription drug free.
-Kimberly T, California

I’m loving my first order of Vitalzym and already seeing improvement in my fibromyalgia symptoms.

If you do experience heart palpitations that you feel may be unrelated to detoxing, please consult with a health care professional.

Feeling Better - Looking Better - Living Longer

How? With the use of systemic 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.

Feel and Look Better with Systemic Enzymes

Vitalzym is a blend of enzymes that work synergistically to provide total system support. It contains protease, serrapeptase, papain, bromelain, amylase, lipase, rutin and amla. According to Dr. Peter Streichhan, a world-renowned enzyme researcher from Germany, “enzyme mixtures have a wider range of therapeutic advantages than do individual enzymes. [ 1 ]

Vitalzym systemic proteolytic enzyme therapy assists the body in fighting:

Enzyme authority Dr. Anthony Cichoke says, “Every day, researchers throughout the world are discovering new enzymes and new therapeutic uses for them...Researchers are even studying enzyme replacement therapy devising new treatment methods for diseases that they have historically been unable to treat. This includes many diseases that result from inborn errors of metabolism, such as the inability of the body to make a particular enzyme. [ 1 ]

Read on to learn more about the benefits of systemic enzyme therapy and what you can do to help yourself naturally using Vitalzym.

The Purpose of Enzymes

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.

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
Watch Video About Vitalzym - Supplement for Fibromyalgia
Dr. David Getoff talks about the quality and benefits of the fully enteric coated Vitalzym formulation.

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. Learn more about enzyme research.

When referring to enzymatic supplements, it's important to distinguish between those used for digestion and 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.

Systemic enzymes, such as those in 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 for Healthier Bodies

Enzymes are one of the fundamental building materials that are required in all metabolic processes. When your body becomes deficient in systemic enzymes… you start to age faster, you heal slower, your body starts to physically slow down, aches and pains increase, you become much more susceptible to illness and diseases, and an accelerated degeneration and aging process happens as a result.

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:

 

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 Vitalzym and Vitalzym SEB 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, as previously mentioned.

Major Functions of Systemic Enzyme Therapy

Fights Inflammation:

Inflammation is the cause of pain associated with many different conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries; including muscle sprains, sciatica, and chronic back pain. Systemic enzymes are a healthy alternative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and aspirin.

  • Helps reduce joint and muscle inflammation
  • Acts as a natural pain reliever
  • Helps reduce C-Reactive proteins, a marker for inflammation
  • May lower inflammation by removing toxins and debris in the circulatory system
  • May reduce the inflammation associated with Sjogren's syndrome

Physicians throughout Europe and Asia have recognized the anti-inflammatory and pain-blocking benefits of serrapeptase and are using it in treatment as an alternative to salicylates, ibuprofen and other NSAIDs.

Read more about inflammation in the TIME magazine article, Health: The Fires Within

Fights Fibrosis:

Fibrosis is a type of scar tissue formation containing fibrin (a type of protein) that can form masses or webs throughout the tissues, muscles, and organs. Excess fibrous tissue is marked by the body as “foreign proteins”. When there is a build up of excess fibrin, systemic enzymes like those in Vitalzym and Vitalyzm X can help reduce these so called “foreign” proteins, which may help:

  • Fight the aging process by removing the buildup of fibrin
  • Reduce Fibromyalgia symptoms by reduction and removal of fibrin buildup
  • Reduce Endometriosis by removal of fibrin buildup
  • Reduce Uterine Fibroid Tumors by removal of fibrin buildup
  • Reduce Pulmonary Fibrosis by removal of fibrin buildup
  • Reduce Chronic Fatigue Syndrome pain
  • Reduce thickening of the blood (fibrin deposits), increasing circulation
  • Unclog the microcirculation system, increasing circulation
  • Reduce spider veins and wrinkles
  • Reduce formation of scar tissue
  • Increase penile functionality
  • Reduce post-operative scar tissue, increases healing capabilities

"A Singapore Medical Journal (30( I ):48-5s4 1989 Feb) claims that enzymes eat scar tissue and fibrosis; therefore, it makes sense that replacing lost enzymes can help control and reduce the amount of scar tissue and fibrosis our bodies have."

Immune System Modulation:

Enzymes are adaptogenic, seeking to restore a steady state to the body. When the immune system is running low, we become susceptible to infectious disease. When it's cranked up too high, then the system creates antibodies that attack it's own tissues, as are seen in the autoimmune diseases of MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Lupus. Here the Vitalzym will tone down immune function and eat away at the antibodies the immune system is making to attack its bodies own tissue.

When the immune system is run down too low, Vitalzym can help increase the immune response, produce more Natural Killer cells, and improve the efficiency of the white blood cells, all leading to improved immunity. They can also help:

  • Speed healing
  • Balance the entire body synergy
  • Increase the body’s defense mechanism by modulating our immune system
  • Prevent the rejection of transplanted and health-restoring organs and tissues
  • Modulate the cell-signaling pathway that triggers immune activation

Fights Blood Contamination:

The blood is not only the river of life; it is also the river through which the cells and organs dispose of their waste. All of this material is supposed to be cleaned off by the liver on "first pass" or the first time it goes through. Given the sluggish and near toxic or toxic states of everyone's liver these days, that seldom happens. So the waste remains in the blood, waiting for the liver to have enough free working space and enough enzymes to clean it. This can take days or in some people, weeks! [ 1 ]

Blood can become contaminated with toxins when the liver is over burdened and its capacity to cleanse the blood becomes diminished as a result. Another way contamination can occur is when excess fibrin builds up in the blood causing it to become too thick. This creates the perfect environment for blood clots to form. When systemic enzymes are taken, they can stand ready in the blood and take the strain off of the liver by helping to:

  • Clear excess fibrin from the blood and reducing the stickiness of blood cells, which in turn helps minimize one of the leading causes of stroke, heart attack, and blood clots. [ 2 ]
  • Break down dead material small enough so it can immediately pass into the bowel. [ 2 ]
  • Maintain a normal blood flow by helping to prevent blood clots and platelet aggregations within blood vessels
  • Assist in the liver’s detoxification process
  • Improve functionality of white blood cell receptors and their ability to fight off infection. [ 3 ]
  • Reduce clogging of the microcirculatory system
  • Improve homeostasis

Read about VitalzymSEB, an enzyme formula specifically for cardiovascular health. Contains Nattokinase, Serrapeptase, and Co-Q10.

Fights Viruses:

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. [ 4 , 5 ]

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, such as viruses (again the enzyme lock and key mechanism). Vitalzymhas the strongest protein eating effects of any enzyme due to its Serrapeptase content, which can help:

  • Improve anti-virals, kills the virus
  • Internal filters clean the circulatory system
  • Lower viral loading

Side Effects

Dr. Cichoke says, “There appear to be no side effects of long-term duration when taking oral enzymes. Temporary side effects (that will disappear when therapy is discontinued or reduced); include changes in the color, consistency, and odor of the stool. Gastrointestinal disturbances, such as flatulence, a feeling of fullness, diarrhea, or nausea, may occur in individual cases, and minor allergic reactions (reddening of the skin) are rare and occur only with high doses.” He also goes on to say that no detriment has been associated with long term usage of supplemental enzymes and best results can be seen when doses are divided throughout the day rather than taken all at one time.
