Q: What is the difference between plant enzymes and animal enzymes?
A: Animal enzymes, particularly porcine derived enzymes, closely resemble human digestive enzymes. For that reason, many experts believe that animal enzymes are very effective. In general, animal enzymes are more sensitive to pH extremes. To compensate for this pH sensitivity, many of the animal enzyme formulas contain bicarbonates to protect the enzymes from stomach acid. Plant enzymes are derived from fungal or botanical sources. These enzymes are able to survive a broad range of pH levels throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Plant enzymes also allow us to provide digestion support products to our vegetarian customers.
Q: On the Bio-Zyme® label, what does 10X mean?
A:The designation "X" means "times" – therefore, "10x" means "10 times". The pancreatic enzymes in Bio-Zyme® are 10 times more potent that the expected minimum activity. The minimum activity was set by the United States Pharmacopoeia, a scientific body which establishes standards for prescription medications and some dietary supplements.
Q: Should I take Bio-Zyme® with meals or between meals?
A: To relieve muscle soreness and discomfort due to overexertion and exercise, take 2 tablets two to three times a day between meals. To support optimal digestion, take 2 tablets before each meal.*
Q: Why isn't the Bio-Zyme® tablet enteric coated?
A: Enteric-coating is not necessary as the enzymes are buffered with bicarbonate to protect them from stomach acid.
Q: What do you do to ensure the safety of glandular extracts?
A: All glandulars used in our products are produced in facilities that are registered and inspected by the United States Department of Agriculture. In addition to federal inspections, all of the glandular materials received at our facility are also subjected to numerous laboratory analyses, including tests for contamination with yeast, molds, and bacteria such as E.coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus.
Q: According to the Bio-Zyme® label, the lysozyme enzyme is derived from eggs. Can someone with an egg allergy safely take this product?
A: The lysozyme found in Bio-Zyme® is obtained from the egg white. While 10 mg (the amount of lysozyme per serving) is a small amount, some people with allergies react to the very smallest quantity of the allergen. For sensitive individuals, Similase can be suggested as an egg-free alternative.
