Maintaining an adequate immune system to elicit a healthy immune response is essential. Enzyme Defense Pro contains a high-potency proteolytic enzyme blend formulated with vitamin D3, L-lysine, and minerals to support and promote health immune function.
Enzymes are responsible for catalyzing and regulating biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. Specifically, enzymes are highly involved in regulating the body’s digestive and metabolic process, making them essential for cellular function and overall wellness.
Proteolytic enzymes, also known as proteases, are responsible for supporting digestion and metabolism by breaking down protein. Supplemental proteolytic enzymes have an established history of use for supporting immunity and promoting general well-being.
Supplemental proteases have been shown to be absorbed and carried into the bloodstream. While in the bloodstream, proteases bind to alpha-II macroglobulin (A2M). As a complex, the bound protease circulates through the body to become part of the immune system. The protease functions therapeutically by promoting cellular repair and recovery in addition to encouraging a healthy inflammatory response.
Enzyme Defense Pro offers a synergistic blend of proteolytic enzymes to support healthy immune function and cardiovascular wellness. Enzyme Defense pro contains Nattokinase, Serratiopeptidase, Catalase and Mucolase™. Scientific evidence shows the proteolytic enzymes Nattokinase and Serratiopeptidase support healthy circulation and speed recovery. These proteases may also stimulate phagocytes (cells that ingest foreign particular and debris) and accelerate elimination by way of the lymphatic system.
Nattokinase NSK-SD has been known to support healthy circulation due to its high fibrinolytic (breaks down fibrin) and antioxidant activity. Similarly, Serratiopeptidase works to support vascukar healthy through improved circulation tissue repair. Mucolase is a protein digesting enzyme targeted to break down excess mucus. Mucolase offers natural, non-drowsy support for occasional congestion.
Enzymes Defense Pro also includes Vitamin D3, well-studied for its support of healthy cardiovascular function and immunity. Considered the natural from of vitamin D, D3 is also synthesized in the skin in response to exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Supplementation is encouraged to promote seasonal well-being.
Critical to the synergy of the Enzyme Defense pro formula is the addition of L-lysine, an essential amino that must be obtained from food and supplements. Lysine, a building block for proteins, plays an important role in maintaining proper growth and repair Lysine supports seasonal wellness and a healthy immune response.

PEA is paired with Meriva, the most clinically studied bioavailable curcumin, to provide natural support for the entire body with a focus on the body’s nervous, immune, and muscular systems.*
Data collected from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey estimated nearly 56% of American adults (126 million individuals) experienced some level of pain or discomfort within 3 months prior to taking the survey.(1)
Discomfort can range from a variety of indications, including effects on mood, mobility, and overall health and wellness. Most often, occasional pain, stiffness, and compromised tissue are the result of overexertion and everyday stress.
When excited nerves issue sensory information to the brain, the body can react in the form of uncomfortable sensations. Many individuals experiencing common ailments often choose to self-medicate.(2) These consumers turn to easily accessible
Over-the-counter medications such as NSAIDs instead of coping with the short term discomfort. A study, led by the Director of the Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University, evaluating consumer compliance with recommended NSAID usage, found nearly 20% of individuals exceeded daily maximum doses during a one-week period.(3) When misused or overused, these OTCs can have serious side effects.
For those experiencing only occasional discomforts, a natural approach may be a better option to support physiological stress.* Dietary supplements work with the body’s natural processes for physiological stress and soreness without the side effects associated with the overuse of pain medications.*
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an extensively researched natural ingredient for important neuroprotective actions.*(4) This ingredient has been utilized for decades and is available in dietary supplements worldwide as an option for the onset of physiological stress.*
PEA is an endogenous fatty acid amide that belongs to the family of biologically active lipids that are increased by the body to soothe discomfort naturally.*(5) PEA was identified over 60 years ago when it was isolated from extracts of brain, liver, and muscle of rat and guinea pig. It was later found to be contained in chicken egg yolk, olive oil, safflower and soy lecithin, peanut meal, and several other foods.

When faced with an acute injury, one of the most common applications for healing is the RICE protocol: rest, ice, compress and elevate.
Unfortunately, this procedure doesn’t consider the body’s natural inflammatory mechanisms. The inflammatory response is designed to increase temperature in the injured area, ramping up the body’s natural enzyme activity.
Proteolytic enzymes are manufactured by the body to break down proteins in the bloodstream. Increased enzyme activity, in the presence of heat, enables the removal of proteins which are dead, damaged or do not belong. This removal process is recognized by the body and may be indicated by fever. Removal of such stressors allows the body to transition into recovery.
MyoMend offers a unique blend of vegetarian enzymes and rutin. This high-potency enzyme blend includes plant enzymes bromelain and papain along with protease, serratiopeptidase, nattokinase and catalase enzymes. This combination of ingredients assists with capillary, tissue and muscle function, as well as promoting healthy inflammatory responses for cardiovascular well-being.
Capillary blood flow plays a major role in generating a healthy inflammatory response. Small blood vessels are responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells while removing waste. After an injury, some of these capillaries may be damaged making them incapable of carrying fluid to and from damaged tissue. Research studies suggest proteolytic enzymes such as nattokinase and serratiopeptidase, support healthy circulation and speed recovery. Proteases may also contributed to the expulsion of harmful particles by stimulating phagocytes (cell that ingest foreign particles and debris) and accelerating elimination by way of the lymphatic system.
Fibrin is a protein in the blood produced in response to inflammation. This protein is essential to stop excess blood loss in the event of bodily trauma or injury. Excessive inflammation due to injury may encourage cross-linked fibrin to circulate through the bloodstream and stick to the walls of blood vessels. The nattokinase enzyme blend in MyoMend supports healthy circulation by breaking down fibrin and helping increase antioxidant activity. Nattokinase NSK-SD, sourced from the fermented soy bean product natto, has been the subject of 17 studies. Two small clinical trials associated with some studies showed results indicating a heightened ability to dissolved blood clots and promote healthy blood pressure.
Serratiopeptidase, like nattokinase, functions as a proteolytic and fibrinolytic enzyme. The enzyme offers support for healthy circulation by accelerating tissue repair to calm joint discomfort and maintain balanced secretion of interstitial fluid.
The tropical plant enzymes bromelain, from pineapple, and papain, from papaya, have an established history for supporting healthy inflammation, circulation and recovery. Typically more active in an elevated temperature, these enzymes may be effective in supporting the bodyís immune system during inflammatory responses. Recent research indicates beneficial effects of tropical plant enzymes for joint health.
Rutin is an antioxidant found in various fruits and vegetables and from leaves of several plant species. Research also indicates the benefits of rutin in combination with bromelain for joined health.

Even individuals with healthy diets may experience digestive difficulty from time to time.
These difficulties often manifest in a variety of symptoms including occasional gas, bloating, indigestion, abdominal discomfort, distention, irregularity or general food intolerance.
While antacids and laxatives may be used to treat symptoms, they fail to address the underlying cause of impaired digestion. Continuous use of such symptom suppressors may result in dependency, among other side effects.
Complete Digestion provides digestive support from a blend of digestive enzymes, probiotics and nutraceuticals. The combination provides critical support for a healthy intestinal environment and works to aid impaired digestion, the fundamental cause of intestinal disturbance.
Enzymes are the most effective tools made by the body to help digestion and the assimilation of nutrients. Nutrients supplied to the body are used as energy for various biological processes. When there is an insufficient quantity of digestive enzymes present in the body, undigested food may pass into the large intestine and be acted upon by intestinal flora. Byproducts of bacterial digestion and yeast fermentation include hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane gas. The consequence of this combination results in symptoms like occasional gas, bloating and discomfort or indigestion. Enzyme supplementation encourages healthy digestion of proteins, fats, fibers and carbohydrates, in addition to promoting an optimally functioning Gl tract.
Probiotics support regularity, aid the immune system, produce digestive enzymes and manufacture essential vitamins such as B and K. Supplemental probiotics promote an environment where beneficial microflora thrive. Complete Digestion contains 125 million active probiotic cultures in each capsule.
– Full spectrum enzyme supplement
– Vegetarian enzyme, probiotic and nutraceutical formula
– Support optimal digestion and intestinal wellbeing
– Soothe occasional indigestion, gas and bloating
– 125 million active probiotic cultures per capsuleThe probiotics in Complete Digestion fuel the digestive process to produce additional lactase, protease and amalase enzymes upon delivery to the lower GI tract. These enzymes offer synergistic benefis to the full spectrum formula, promoting optimal digestive health. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced in every cell. It is found in all raw foods and is the body’s natural source of energy. Supplementing with ATP complements a healthy diet by increasing the energy potential of the foods consumed. It is also a primary signaling molecule for healthy cellular process. One such process is the necessary production of Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) in the stomach, which supports protein digestion. ATP is instrumental for cells to benefit from the nutrition found in food. Without ATP, nutrients wouldn’t be able to pass through its membrane.
Stressors such as age and exercise can diminish ATP levels, Supplementing with ATP and ingredients that support ATP production can increase the body’s natural production. Supplementation may also decrease the energy demand of the digestive process, support nutrient absorption and improve HCL activity in the upper GI.
