Discussion

Many health experts now see inflammation as an immune system that's out of control. Most will also agree that the key to a strong immune system lies in the gut. Why? Because most of the body's defenses can be found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Your GI tract has a huge responsibility. It takes the foods you eat, neutralizes any bacteria or viruses before they can infect your body and then gets rid of the waste. A poor diet is synonymous with poor gut health. Poor gut health can lead to bloating, constipation, reflux, excess gas, abdominal pain and heartburn. These symptoms are some classic, early signs of an inflamed GI tract. When left unchecked, inflammatory symptoms worsen and over time, your body becomes overwhelmed and less able to effectively do it's job. This may result in the development of a number of chronic illnesses.

Continued Discussion

Preventing and/or reducing inflammation begins with listening to your body, finding the cause, or causes and developing a comprehensive approach to restore the balance between the immune response and inflammation. Make healthy lifestyle choices, pay attention to your diet, control your weight, exercise and manage your stress. Taking dietary supplements containing enzymes and herbals, may also be beneficial.

Enzymes are proteins that facilitate chemical reactions in living organisms and are required for every single chemical action that takes place in your body. They reduce inflammation by neutralizing the bio-chemicals of inflammation (bradykinins and pro-inflammatory eicosanoids) to levels where synthesis, repair and regeneration of injured tissues can take place. Enzymes 'digest' organic debris in the circulatory and lymph systems and the immune system uses them to destroy invaders. Supplementing with enzymes may improve the effectiveness of the natural process and may significantly improve the ability of your immune system to do its job.

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take two (2) to four (4) capsules daily one half hour before a meal or one hour after a meal or as directed by a healthcare professional. For acute conditions, the dosage may be increased. Do not exceed six (6) capsules per day.
