What is Vitalzym? Vitalzym products are extremely high quality systemic enzymes. Systemic enzymes are a group of nutritional enzymes so named for their ability to bypass digestion, and thus be absorbed systemically throughout the body. Practitioners throughout Europe and Asia have long recommended systemic enzyme blends to their patients suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions such as fibromyalgia and arthritis. Systemic enzymes have also been used for decades post operatively as a scar tissue dissolver. In more recent years, sufferers of uterine fibroids have discovered that systemic enzymes, in particular Vitalzym, may help their condition.
Vitalzym was introduced in 2001 by World Nutrition. It was considered a major leap in enzyme technology as they were one of the first to discover how to coat non-bovine derived enzymes to protect them from stomach acids. The original Vitalzym is one of the most recommended nutritional supplements of the past decade, and continues to be a best seller. Over the past few years, World Nutrition has made further advances in enzyme technology that has been introduced in the form of new Vitalzym blends.
THE FOUR VITALZYM BLENDS
Vitalzym Original
Overview
The original Vitalzym is available in a 90 and 450 capsule bottle. It doesn’t state “original” on the bottle, so just look for the blue label. The blend is actually a hybrid systemic enzyme, in that some of the enzymes are available in the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract to aid in digestion.
Dosage
The blend must be taken away from meals (at least an hour before or after). With this blend, it’s important to start out with an activation dosage. Many practitioners recommend starting with 3 capsules, 3 times daily. If no results are felt within a couple days, increase dosage by 1 capsule at each serving every few days until benefits are felt. Stay on this activation dose for two more weeks before beginning to back down the dosage. Most users find their activation dose between 3-5 capsules, 3 times daily. Most users find their maintenance dosage around 2-3 capsules, 3 times daily.
Ingredients
∙ Serrapepeptase – Also called serratiopeptidase, this is the chief fibrinolytic enzyme in the blend. Plainly put, it’s the strongest enzyme in the blend that breaks down protein. Originally from the intestine of the silkworm, the dietary enzyme is cultured from a bacteria. A very unstable ingredient, the enzyme must be protected from the stomach acids.
∙ Bromelain – A fruit derived proteolytic enzyme that is commonly used to fight inflammation and soothe stomach aches.
∙ Papain – A fruit enzyme derived from the papaya.
∙ Amylase – An enzyme that aids in the digestion of carbohydrates.
∙ Lipase – An enzyme that aids in the digestion of fats. This can be done in the stomach or in the blood stream.
∙ Rutin – A bioflavonoid that is commonly used as a dietary supplement to increase capillary strength.
∙ Amla – An extremely rich source of Vitamin C.
∙ Other – Cellulose, Maltodextrin, Silicon Dioxide, Magnesium Stearate, Riboflabin, Chlorophyllin
The Original Vitalzym is available from Express Naturals.
Vitalzym Liquid Filled Gel Capsules
Overview
The new Vitalzym Liquid Filled Gel capsule is the biggest breakthrough in enzyme technology over the past 10 years. The enzyme blend is encased in an acid resistant shell that begins to unlock as soon as it bypasses the stomach. This differs from competing enteric coated products, in that it doesn’t require extended periods of time in an alkaline environment to release its contents. This unique characteristic ensures that the maximum amount of enzyme is protected and released for systemic use. Though there isn’t any digestive benefit to this blend, it may be the strongest blend available for sufferers of chronic pain and inflammation that aren’t necessarily looking for additional digestive benefit. Vitalzym Liquid Gel Capsules are available in 180 and 360 capsule bottles.
Dosage
This one is best taken about 30 minutes before a meal. Many practitioners also recommend an activation dosage of 3 capsules, twice daily. As with the original Vitalzym, try increasing one capsule per dose if no results are felt after a couple days. Stay on this activation dose for two more weeks before beginning to back down the dosage. Most users find their activation dose between 3-5 capsules, twice daily. Most users find their maintenance dosage around 2-3 capsules, 2-3 times daily.

Detoxification
Though less likely with Vitalzym SEB, users may experience detoxification reactions with first taking Vitalzym products. These symptoms may include, nausea, headache, fogginess, stomach ache, intestinal distress, etc. Approximately 20% of users will experience these symptoms and they are generally mild. Though uncomfortable, these symptoms are a result of the enzyme cleansing your body. To reduce symptoms, decrease your Vitalzym dosage and increase your water intake.
