TO
ALL ENZYMES INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTORS: Digestion
first begins in the mouth with saliva.
Once the food has entered the stomach, it may remain in the upper
region of the stomach for as long as an hour until the food is mixed
with the stomach secretions. During
this time salivary amylase and food enzymes continue digestion. Scientific
evidence shows that food enzymes play an important role in digestion by
predigesting food in the upper stomach before hydrochloric acid has even
been secreted. Since food
enzymes are destroyed in the cooking process (over 110°
F) , supplementation is very important.
If the full digestive burden is placed on the body, the body’s
digestive process can become over-stressed and vital nutrients may not
be released from food for assimilation by the body.
When the diet does not provide adequate amounts of food enzymes,
the pancreas is capable of enlarging in an effort to produce the needed
enzymes for digestion. So by
taking supplemental food enzymes, the body’s enzyme reserve is spared,
leaving it intact for other important metabolic functions, such as
helping the body heal itself from disease. If some
of the food is digested by plant enzymes, the pancreas will make less
concentrated digestive enzymes. The
digestion accomplished by plant enzymes occurs early enough in the
digestive process to trigger a reduction in pancreatic secretion.
Supplemental pancreatic enzymes, on the other hand, do nothing to
relieve the stress on the pancreas.
Since pancreatin only works in the alkaline medium of the small
intestine, its digestive action occurs too late to prevent the pancreas
from producing all the enzymes needed to completely digest the food. It is
for these reasons we introduced our Food-N-Zymes in 1980.
Since that time further research has resulted in new enzymes.
Since we are interested in providing the best possible products
for our customers, we are proud to introduce SUPER-FOOD-N-ZYMES.
Each Vcap™ of this new formula will contain the following
active ingredients:
(Enzyme
activity is measured in Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) Units.) Also,
please notice that they will be in a Vcap™ which is a vegetarian
capsule. Amylase reduces large carbohydrates (starches and other polysaccharides) to disaccharides including sucrose, lactose and maltose at random points within the starch chain. Disaccharide intolerance occurs when insufficient levels of disaccharidase enzymes are secreted in the small intestine causing malabsorption and physical discomfort. Invertase is a disaccharidase that works to break down sucrose (refined table sugar) into glucose and fructose. The prevalence of processed and highly refined foods in the American diet means that we consume a great amount of this sugar which can contribute to undue digestive stress. It is theorized that unrecognized sucrose intolerance is a contributing factor in many allergies. So the addition of Invertase to our formula can increase the assimilation and utilization of this sugar. The addition of the carbohydrases Malt Diastase and Glucoamylase augment the breakdown of starch at the end of the chain into glucose molecules, allowing greater absorption of this energy-giving sugar. Inclusion of these sugar-breaking enzymes gives this formula a broad base for improving nutrition. Alpha-Galactosidase hydrolyzes the raffinose-series sugars. The process of hydrolysis adds water to the ingested food, separating the bonds between the polysaccharides thus forming monosaccharides which can be moved through the gastrointestinal mucosa. Raffinose-series sugars are prevalent in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage as well as turnips, onions and beans. These complex sugars are not digested within the human gastrointestinal system and instead are fermented by the intestinal flora and commonly produce flatus. The raffinose-series sugars consist of galactose polymers joined to the disaccharide sucrose (glucose-fructose). Alpha-galactosidase hydrolyzes the alpha-1, 4-glucosidic bond between galactose and glucose thus eliminating the carbohydrate’s ability to produce gas. Cellulase
(not found in the human system) has also been increased since it breaks
the bonds found in fiber. By
disrupting the structure of the fiber matrices which envelop most of the
nutrients in plants, cellulase increases the nutritional value of fruits
and vegetables. Proteases
break long protein chains (polypeptides) into smaller amino acid chains
and eventually into single amino acids. Lipase
digests fats (triglycerides) into free fatty acids and glycerol.
As you can
see, Super Food-N-Zymes will provide an even broader range of digestion
than our present Food-N-Zymes. Of
course, this brings with it added expense.
Also, the Vcaps™ (vegetarian capsules) are more expensive but
many of our customers have expressed a preference for them over the
gelatin capsules presently used. This
new product will not be available in tablets.
The enclosed new price list gives the new prices.
Actually, I think you will find this new formula even more
economical since Amylase and Protease are almost two and a half times as
strong, Lipase more than five times and Cellulase 15 times stronger.
In addition, four new enzymes have been added.
You can probably take half the amount you are taking now and still
get a wider range of digestive ability at less than double the cost.
Plus the fact that we now have vegetarian capsules. So you may
try our Super Food-N-Zymes, we will have a special price for June and July—a
55% discount on single bottle orders (no case lot requirement).
This means you can purchase a single bottle for the following
prices:
In the
near future, we will also be changing our Amylase and Protease.
They will also both be available in Vcaps™. The Amylase formula will be as follows:
The
Protease formula will be a blend of six different proteases for a broader
range of activity. Peptidase
has been added since it focuses on the end of the protein chain.
Bromelain has also been added to stabilize the acid.
The new formula will be as follows:
As you
have probably noticed, we recently received a price increase from our
supplier for the Coenzyme Mineral capsules. This is the first price
increase we have ever had for this product. They are now packaged in
Veggie Caps and shortly we will have new labels showing that. Also, Doug
Morrison told us he is presently working on producing video tapes on Body
Electronics so we will be carrying them as soon as they are available. I’m sure
you will all be pleased with our new products.
Please let us know how you like them. Sincerely,
