NEW Vitalzym Formula is Here!

World Nutrition has formulated a new Vitalzym blend with a technologically advanced enteric coated capsule that is used by today's most advanced pharmaceuticals. The all natural, non-toxic coating allows the enzymes to bypass the stomach acids so that they are 100% available in the small intestine. This delivery system is revolutionary to systemic enzyme blends in that there is no loss of enzyme due to digestion or stomach acidity. Most users will experience at least double the enzyme potency of the original Vitalzym, whereas some users may experience an exponentially greater effect. The difference is dependent upon each user's pH levels and dosaging habits. If you are currently taking the original Vitalzym, World Nutrition recommends first trying to reduce your dosage by 50%.

 

 

New Advanced Delivery System

Enteric Coated Liquid-Filled Capsule

 

Enteric Coating
The effectiveness of any systemic enzyme is determined by the amount of activity level in the bloodstream after the enzyme has been absorbed from the small intestine. Enzymes, whose activity is significantly reduced in an acidic environment, must be protected from it for their utmost effectiveness.  Enzymes will begin to lose their activity once introduced into the low pH (1.0-3.0) acids of the stomach.  The amount of activity loss is dependent upon the individual enzyme and the amount of time it spends in the stomach.  Studies have shown that unprotected enzymes can lose up to 100% of their activity in fewer than 30 minutes in pH levels below 3.0.  The only reliable method of ensuring that 100% of the enzymes are not destroyed by the stomach acids is to enteric-coat the enzymes.  Vitalzym has been reformulated to use an enteric coated gel capsule manufactured under pharmaceutical-grade guidelines.*

Though revolutionary to nutritional enzyme blends, this enteric coating process is similar to that used in today’s most advanced products.  The capsule has an all-natural shell barrier that allows it to withstand the extremely low pH levels found in the stomach.  Once introduced to the pancreatic juices in the duodenum (upper small intestine), the shell barrier breaks down to release the enzymes it contains.  The enzymes are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the small intestine.*

The new enteric coated gel capsule has been designed to pass both the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and JP (Japan Pharmacopeia) disintegration tests for enteric coated capsules.  Every batch is tested to ensure it meets the agency guidelines before exportation to the U.S.*

 

Solubilized Liquid-Filled Gel Capsule
At the center of the advanced delivery system is a new Solubilized Liquid-Filled Gel Capsule used to enhance the absorption of Vitalzym.  The technology of liquid-filled capsules is superior to that of capsules filled with powder because it uses low heat production, provides more uniform dose distribution, and prolongs enzyme activity.*

 

Low Heat Production– Powder enzyme blends are available today that use an enteric coating, but they are typically in tablet form.  The disadvantage of these blends is the amount of heat created with compressing the ingredients into a tablet.  Enzymes are susceptible to high temperatures and may begin to degrade during the manufacturing process.  Solubilized Liquid-Filled Gel Capsules allow for an enteric coated enzyme without activity loss from heat. Throughout all of the processes, Vitalzym is produced under strictly controlled temperature ranges.*

 

Optimal Distribution– Liquid enzyme blends provide a more uniform dose consistency, because the mixing of liquids allows for optimal particle distribution.  In powder formulations, each particle of a different enzyme is different in size, causing greater friction between particles during mixing.  Excipients are introduced to powder formulations to increase the mixability, but liquids still provide far more even distribution of ingredients, allowing for more consistent dosages in each capsule.*

 

Prolonged Enzyme Activity– Enzymes always retain some amount of moisture when they are produced.  Enzymes, as proteins, are more susceptible to denaturation at higher moisture.  Enzyme powders typically have lower (5-10%) moisture.  However, even with lower moisture, enzyme powders will lose some of their activity over time, resulting in a loss of up to 20% of activity over a 12-month period. Vitalzym contains enzymes with a higher degree of purity and less moisture that when combined with Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCT), then decompressed during the manufacturing process, removes the moisture completely.  As a result, loss of enzyme activity over time due to moisture will not occur after Vitalzym is produced.  Vitalzym is manufactured to have a 5-year shelf life with no loss of activity when properly stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed.*

 

Proprietary Blend
Vitalzym is recommended by healthcare professionals worldwide.  The unique blend of vegetarian enzymes, flavonoids, and antioxidants has been formulated for 100% absorption in the small intestine.*

 

Serrapeptase, a key ingredient in Vitalzym, was originally discovered in Japan and is commercially produced there for health applications.  It has been used as a substitute for animal-derived enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, due to its stronger effect in terms of bradykinin-decomposing activity (a measurement of the enzyme activity level needed to degrade bradykinin, a protein found in the body that causes an inflammatory response).*
