1 Vital-Zymes Complete Multi-enzyme supplement for extensive digestive support

2 Vital-Zymes Complete Multi-enzyme supplement for extensive digestive support More comprehensive than standard enzyme blends While basic enzyme supplements typically supply protease, amylase, and lipase for digestion of protein, starch, and fat respectively, these products often lack more specific enzymes needed for optimal digestion of peptides, disaccharides, fiber, and other food components. In contrast, Vital-Zymes Complete contains a unique blend of 20 enzymes that work in tandem to reduce large, complex molecules into their smallest units to facilitate healthy digestion and efficient absorption. Two capsules of Vital-Zymes Complete deliver a broad complement of crucial enzymes that lend maximum support for digestion of a full range of foods as found in a typical meal. Also available: Vital-Zymes Chewable, a convenient choice for those who may prefer a chewable tablet.

3 Formulated for Maximum Benefit and Tolerance Promotes optimal GI function and digestive comfort Enzymes in Vital-Zymes Complete can support intestinal function, which can alleviate bloating, fullness, or discomfort associated with occasional indigestion and gas. By facilitating more complete breakdown of macronutrients, this comprehensive group of enzymes supports improved nutritional status. It also supports the breakdown of difficult-to-digest food components such as casein, gluten, and lactose. Vital-Zymes Complete is an important dietary adjunct for individuals who seek to improve nutrient uptake and for those with occasional indigestion. Supplies DPP-IV activity specific for breakdown of casein, gluten, and other exorphin peptides Protein molecules require multiple enzymes for complete digestion. Proteases degrade proteins into peptides of 10 to 20 amino acids in length. Peptidases then complete the process by splitting peptides into single free-form amino acids that are used by the body. Incompletely digested peptides from casein (casomorphins), gluten (gluteomorphins), soy, or yeast may adversely affect central nervous system function in some individuals. Vital-Zymes Complete provides ample amounts of peptidase enzymes that express dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity that is especially effective in breaking down exorphin (opiate-acting) peptides before they can be absorbed. Supports carbohydrate digestion Vital-Zymes Complete contains a wide spectrum of disaccharidase enzymes to assist optimal cleaving of sugars including lactose (milk sugar), maltose (from cereal grains), sucrose (table sugar), and amylopectin (starch) molecules into their absorbable monosaccharide forms. Lactose intolerance is the most common form of carbohydrate intolerance. Incompletely digested sugars or starch can be fermented by gastrointestinal organisms that shift the balance of microbiota. Reduced disaccharidase levels are observed in some children and adults. Children with dyspepsia typically exhibit low activity of duodenal maltase, glucoamylase, and/or disaccharidases. Helps protect GI tissue from occasional irritation In addition to facilitating more complete digestion of potentially irritating food components, Vital-Zymes Complete supplies Serratia peptidase, a unique endopeptidase enzyme which helps protect sensitive gastrointestinal tissue from occasional irritation and supports intestinal comfort. Helps support microbial balance Vital-Zymes Complete also contains lysozyme, a health-promoting enzyme found in tears, human breast milk, saliva, and nasogastric and bronchial secretions. Lysozyme promotes protective barrier function in these tissues against undesirable microorganisms by degrading polysaccharides found in the cell walls of many bacteria and yeast. In the gastrointestinal tract, lysozyme s action helps support a balanced microbial population and complements the benefits of the other enzymes in supporting intestinal health. NOTE: Lysozyme is a highly purified, pharmaceutical grade material derived from hen egg white. While typically well-tolerated, those with classic IgE mediated egg white allergy should not use this product unless otherwise directed by their healthcare professional. Vital-Zymes Chewable does not contain lysozyme for those who may wish to avoid taking it. Figure 1. Peptide cleaving by DPP-IV Protease enzymes in Vital-Zymes Complete first cleave intact casein molecule to split off β-casomorphin fragment, an opiate-acting peptide. Enzymes with DPP-IV peptidase activity then cleave β-casomorphin after the first proline linkage forming di- and tripeptides with no opioid activity.

4 Well-tolerated, hypoallergenic Contains highly purified, pharmaceutical grade enzymes to meet the needs of sensitive individuals. Avoids fruit derived enzymes (bromelain, papain, and kiwi) for tolerance by those with pheno-sulfurtransferase issues. Active throughout the GI tract Contains microbial-based enzymes tolerant of a wide range of ph from 2 (very acidic) to 10 (alkaline), thus exerting benefit throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract. Free of porcine or bovine enzymes that are easily denatured by stomach acid. Suitable for children or adults Provides an array of enzymes that encourages enhanced digestion of protein, carbohydrates, sugar, fat, and fiber. Two capsules or chewable tablets effectively support digestion of a full range of foods as found in a typical meal. Readily adjusted for individual needs, including smaller or larger meals.

5 Healthy Digestion: Essential for Optimum Nutrition and Health Almost everyone has experienced digestive discomforts such as gas, bloating, indigestion, gastric reflux, constipation, or occasional loose stools at one time or another. Eating the wrong foods, overeating, stress, or intestinal microbial imbalance are among the common causes. While such problems are occasional for most of us, impaired digestion and its adverse health consequences can be frequent and troublesome problems for others. Digestive enzymes support healthy digestive function and can relieve occasional bloating, flatulence, and gastrointestinal discomfort. They support absorption of nutrients and overall health. Incomplete digestion may unfavorably shift the balance of gut microbiota by allowing fermentation of undigested foodstuffs by gut microorganisms. Using supplemental enzymes for enhanced digestive support A healthy digestive system secretes acids and enzymes that break down foods into the most basic components needed to nourish the body. A variety of different enzymes, each with unique cleaving actions, are required for optimal breakdown of foods. Enzyme production is a key part in the digestive process that is especially susceptible to malfunction. Certain health conditions Vital-Zymes Complete provides a may adversely affect comprehensive group of enzymes to specially support enhanced the body s ability digestion, nutrient absorption, to produce its own digestive comfort, and intestinal enzymes, resulting repair mechanisms. in fewer enzymes or diminished secretion of enzymes by the pancreas, stomach, and brush-border membrane of the small intestine. Ingestion of supplemental enzymes such as protease, amylase, and lipase can help efficiently digest food and alleviate occasional digestion-related discomforts. However, individuals with more complex digestive issues may require enzymes with greater specificity to most fully support digestion of problematic food components such as casein, gluten, and lactose and other disaccharides and help protect sensitive gastrointestinal tissues from irritation that can affect tissue health and intestinal comfort.
