Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between digestive enzymes and systemic enzymes?
Digestive
enzymes are found inside the digestive track where they are used to aid
in food digestion. Systemic enzymes are formulated to resist the acidic
environment of the stomach so that they can be absorbed into the
bloodstream from the small intestine. Once in the bloodstream, the body
is able to use them throughout the entire body.
Why are
enteric-coated capsules indispensable?
The all-natural protective coating
prevents the enzymes from being destroyed
by the stomach acids. The pancreatic
juices break down the coating in the
duodenum. This makes 100% of the enzyme
contents available for absorption into the
bloodstream. Enteric Coating is the best
and most effective oral delivery system
today for systemic enzymes. The technology
of enteric coated liquid-filled capsules
is superior to that of powdered enzymes
because it uses low heat production,
provides more uniform dose distribution,
and prolongs enzyme activity.
What is the proprietary Vitalzym blend
comprised of?
Bromelain, Papain, Rutin, Amylase,
Protease, Lipase, Amla, and Serrapeptase.
Are the components of Vitalzym derived
from non-GMO sources?
Yes, the enzymes in Vitalzym are derived
from non-GMO sources. Vitalzym is also
all-natural and contains no titanium
dioxide or talc.
Are there any
compatibility issues with any prescribed
drugs?
Patients using anticoagulants, or blood
thinners, should not use Vitalzym without the
consent of their physician.
Is Vitalzym a vegetarian product?
Yes. Animal products are not used in the
manufacture of Vitalzym. The enzymes are
derived from plants and lab grown
bacteria. Other enzymes on the market use
trypsin and chymotrypsin in their
formulations, which are porcine and bovine
derived.
What is key to Systemic Enzyme
effectiveness?
The amount of enzyme activity absorbed
into the bloodstream.
Can I take Vitalzym with food? NO
Can I take Vitalzym if I am pregnant or lactating?
There
have not been any studies regarding supplementation of these enzymes
while pregnant or lactating. We recommend speaking with your healthcare
professional before taking Vitalzym while pregnant or lactating.
Can children take Vitalzym?
No
dosage has been set for children. We recommend speaking with your
pediatrican about the benefits of Vitalzym and a proper dosage.
Can pets take Vitalzym?
Many
veterinarians use Vitalzym to improve the health of their patients.
Dosages vary significantly. We recommend speaking with your veterinarian
about a proper dosage.
We at Golden Illumination give our dog who
is 22 lbs one capsule at bedtime. I would suggest a dog that is 40 lbs
or over... 2 gel caps 1-2x a day.
I dip one end of the gel cap in a small amount of clarified butter (Ghee), if you do not have Ghee you can use a small amount of butter. I then hold the other end of the capsule and our dog takes it into his mouth and swallows it so easily.
Where should I store my Vitalzym?
Vitalzym does not need to be refrigerated. Store your Vitalzym in a cool, dry place,
with the lid of the bottle tightly closed.
Exposure to heat over 150% for an extended
period of time can destroy the enzymes.
Is there any Detoxification when initially taking Vitalzym?
Systemic
enzymes may help rid the body of toxins. Some users will experience a
detoxification reaction to the enzymes, including short term fatigue,
nausea, fogginess, headache, or a cold.
Though uncomfortable, this
detoxification is beneficial to the body. Increased water intake can
assist in the process, or reducing enzyme dosage will slow the rate of
detoxification. If symptoms persist, contact your healthcare
professional. We have heard from many of our customers and this does happen often. Drink Water!
For pain or inflammation: Start with 3 capsules and if you still experience pain increase the dosage by 3 until you reach a level of comfort.
How long before Vitalzym takes effect?
It may depend on the individual’s
physiological makeup. Everyone is different.
Users report positive effects ranging from 3
days to 4 weeks.
