ENZYMES
Enzymes and co-enzymes are the catalysts that initiate or regulate the countless chemical
reactions taking place in the body every moment of our lives. To make certain our enzyme
levels are up-to-par especially in our blood streams, it is a good idea to supplement with
the natural enzymes and other co-factors in SOMAZYME.
Many of the enzymes in SOMAZYME help to break down the fibrin portion
of blood clots naturally, which can significantly support good circulation.

From one to five tablets, one to three times per day, preferably on an empty stomach away
from meals as an enzyme supplement for the whole body. More can be taken if desired.

yeast, corn, milk, soy derivatives, artificial flavoring or coloring agents.
ENZYME
REACTIONS
There are thousands of different enzymes in our foods and in every cell of our bodies.
Enzymes are needed to either initiate, accelerate or separate the distinct chemical
reactions in the body. Without enzymes, most of the chemical reactions that make up our
overall metabolism would never take place, let alone proceed efficiently in a healthy
manner. They are involved in anabolic reactions in the body that manufacture or
"build up" substances. The end products can be other enzymes or hormones that
the body uses to complete certain functions. Enzymes are also involved in our catabolic or
"breaking down" reactions. All of these are natural processes and enzyme levels
are critical to them.
WE
NEED ENZYMES
TA quality diet containing a reasonable amount and variety of fresh, raw fruit and
vegetables would supply our bodies with the enzymes it needs. However, most individuals do
not eat this way and most enzymes are quickly destroyed when heated or cooked above
106°F. Since almost everyone exists on mostly cooked foods today, or to a great extent on
processed foods, it would be wise to consider supplementing diets with SOMAZYME. Even our
fresh raw foods of today cannot support us with the enzyme nutrition we need, because they
are grown in mineral depleted soils and thus don’t have the enzyme content of food grown
early in this century. Our continued exposure to many enzyme inhibitors contributes to
decreased enzyme activity in the body. The average person is exposed to many enzyme
inhibitors daily such as fluoride and chlorine in public water supplies, copper from
plumbing, etc. Even soybeans and certain other legume’s contain anti-trypsin factors,
which interfere with the pancreatic enzyme, Trypsin.
These factors may create a big need for enzyme supplementation in the
diet for some individuals. SOMAZYME provides a wide variety of the enzymes that support
thousands of biochemical reactions involved in good health.
According to theory, the depositing of plaque in the arteries is an
anabolic process, because it is characterized by a "build-up". It so happens
that both sodium and chloride (the ingredients in table salt) are strongly anabolic and
stimulate anabolic processes in the body. The same is true of potassium. Therefore,
potassium chloride (the most common salt substitute) can be just as damaging.
ENZYME
SOURCES
For maximum effect, the enzymes in SOMAZYME are obtained from both plant and animal
sources. Pancreatin, Trypsin, Alpha-Chymotrypsin, Lysozyme and Super Oxide Dismutase are
obtained from animal sources. They are present naturally in our bodies. Papayotin is
obtained from papaya and Bromelain from pineapple. All of these enzymes are well known for
their ability to break down proteins. Pancreatin also break down lipids (fat). Even though
the pancreas produces most of these enzymes, at times it may be stressed or unable to
produce the quantities that may be needed for controlling many unwanted processes in the
body.
FIBRIN
PROTEIN
The single most important activity of these "proteolytic" enzymes (enzymes which
break down proteins) is probably the natural role they play in the blood clotting
mechanism. The liver produces a protein called "fibrinogen" and secretes it into
the bloodstream. When fibrinogen contacts damaged tissue, it is changed into a unique
protein called "fibrin," a large, sticky, insoluble protein molecule. When
tissue is damaged, the fibrin molecules rush to the scene and begin the formation of a
clot to prevent bleeding. Soon after clots are formed, the proteolytic enzymes in the
bloodstream begin to break them down, so the tissue will not be damaged from extended lack
of oxygen and nutrition due to impaired circulation over a period of time.
Many of the enzymes in SOMAZYME, and in the diet as well, are produced
in the body and break down this fibrin naturally. Excess fibrin proteins not broken down
by proteolytic enzymes are a major component of plaque in the arteries. It is actually the
main ingredient that lays down the foundation for the plaque and is the glue that holds it
together. In addition, cholesterol, fats, alcium compounds, heavy metals and other
ingredients make up other parts of it. Plaque in the arteries leads to arteriosclerosis
(hardening of the arteries). With an adequate supply of proteolytic enzymes in the
bloodstream available to break down these fibrin proteins, there is less chance of plaque
buildup.
PHYTOZYME
BASE
SOMAZYME is formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a
unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from
plants.
When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of
receiving the numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained
in them.
HOW TO TAKE SOMAZYME
From one to five tablets are taken once, twice or three times per day, preferably on an
empty stomach, away from meals as a systemic enzyme supplement for the whole body. Quite
often, larger amounts are taken, particularly in short periods of need.
SOMAZYME is a high quality enzyme supplement intended to be used by
those who wish to increase their daily intake of proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes.
