Usage & Notes
Recommended Use: 1 capsule twice daily on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after a meal.
Immune Defense is not an “immune stimulator,” rather a supporter of healthy immune function.*
Enzymedica does not use ingredients produced using biotechnology.
Consult with a physician prior to use if pregnant or nursing.

How Enzymes Target Excess Mucus*
Some enzymes support digestion while others work perfectly for cutting up and breaking down irritants and mucus.* All year, airborne irritants may cause a variety of discomforts. Mucolase may help promote respiratory function, while Protease Thera-blend® targets the protein component often found in irritants.*
Because Immune Defense® Extra Strength uses all-natural enzymes, it’s non-drowsy and free of side effects.
How Enzymes Break Down More Than Food
Digestive enzymes are taken with meals to help break down foods faster (for more energy and better nutrient absorption).
Systemic enzymes are taken between meals on an empty stomach.* This timing is everything: They can go beyond the digestive system, into the bloodstream – and to the specific cells and tissues that need their help.*
Thera-blend® is the Difference
Enzymedica's proprietary Thera-blend® technology means that the enzymes found in Immune Defense® Extra Strength will work throughout the entire pH spectrum found in your body. When other brands’ enzyme formulas may fall short, in almost all acidic or alkaline environments, Immune Defense® Extra Strength will be effective.

Our Extraordinary Enzymes is a digestion supplement that includes a powerful blend of 12 clinically-studied enzymes that provide support for healthy digestion and optimal nutrient absorption.
What Is Extraordinary Enzymes?
Extraordinary Enzymes provides you with protease, cellulase, lipase and many other enzymes that powerfully support digestion by adapting to a variety of stomach acid pH conditions. This powerful mix of 12 enzymes facilitates optimal nutrient absorption from protein, fiber, carbohydrates and fat and supports digestive comfort after meals.
Extraordinary Enzymes provides protease, cellulase and lipase — potent enzymes that powerfully support digestion.
Extraordinary Enzymes Benefits
- Promotes healthy digestion & optimal nutrient absorption
- Delivers 12 different digestive enzymes
- Facilitates the breakdown of difficult plant fibers
- Does not promote after-meal blood-glucose surges
For Occasional Digestive Discomfort
Our digestive tract breaks down food and extracts vital nutrients that keep us going. But some experience occasional discomfort, especially after large meals. Extraordinary Enzymes helps provide digestive comfort with a mix of 12 different enzymes that tackle the hard-to-digest foods. Extraordinary Enzymes also aids in the absorption of nutrients without after-meal glucose surges.
Extraordinary Enzymes provides you with protease, cellulase and lipase and many other enzymes that powerfully support digestion by adapting to a variety of stomach acid pH conditions. It facilitates optimal nutrient absorption and relief from occasional digestive discomfort, without promoting after-meal glucose surges. This powerful formula delivers a dynamic mix of 12 different enzymes to tackle hard-to-digest foods, including protein, fiber, carbohydrates and fat. Just one capsule before eating supports digestive comfort, even after a large meal.
Digestive enzymes facilitate digestion and nutrient absorption
Optimal digestion is necessary for overall health. That's because the body obtains nutrients by breaking down food. Digestion is made possible by special molecules naturally occurring in your body called enzymes. But over time, your digestive tract loses the ability to tolerate the effects of excess calories, especially fried foods, and it can become harder for your body to properly break down food.1 If digestion is incomplete, the body cannot extract all the nutrients in the food. Aside from causing occasional bloating and gas, this can lead to inadequate uptake of critical nutrients. It is essential to maintain a healthy balance of digestive enzymes to optimize healthy digestion and get the most nutrition out of your meals. Since proteins, plant fibers, carbohydrates and fats are all broken down differently, you need a wide spectrum of enzymes for optimal digestion.
Supplementing with 12 different digestive enzymes
Clinical evidence shows that supplemental enzymes can support healthy digestion and help relieve discomfort.2-6 Extraordinary Enzymes provides a powerful blend of 12 total enzymes that work together to help your digestive system readily absorb the nutrients of food and convert it to energy — whether it's a protein, tough vegetable fiber, carbohydrate or fat. With a potent array of enzymes formulated to adapt to a variety of stomach acid pH conditions and powerfully support digestion, Extraordinary Enzymes helps enhance nutrient content in your body through better absorption and utilization.
Promotes the breakdown of hard-to-digest plant fibers
With cellulase, phytase, hemicellulase, pectinase and xylanase, Extraordinary Enzymes facilitates the breakdown of plant fibers that cause people to avoid healthy vegetables because of digestive discomforts. Most people will take one capsule before the two heaviest meals, which provides 400 mg of natural digestive enzymes each day.
Together, the enzymes in Extraordinary Enzymes work through a cooperative process to help provide nutritional support for a healthy digestive system.

FAQS
Q: What are the sources of the enzymes used in Similase® BV?
A: The vegetarian enzymes used in Similase® BV are produced through the fermentation of fungal organisms, including Aspergillus, Rhizopus, and Saccharomyces. Some of the vegetarian enzyme products contain maltase, which is derived from malt barley. If a product contains maltase, it is not gluten-free.
Q: What do the abbreviations for enzyme activity units (e.g., USP, HUT, etc.) stand for?
A: There are many scientific systems used for measuring enzyme activity. The most common enzyme measurement systems are Food Chemical Codex (FCC), United States Pharmacoepia (USP), and Federal Internationale Pharmaceutique (FIP). Each different enzyme measurement system has an enzyme assay method with its own units of measurements. For example, one of the enzyme measurements from protease is HUT (Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine). Here are some common enzyme activity abbreviations:HUT = hemoglobin unit tyrosine PC = Bacterial Protease Unit DU = apha-amylase dextrinizing unit LU = lipase units PU = phytase units ALU = acid lactase unit CU = cellulase units INVU = inverted unitLacU = lactase activity unit
