Product Description
Enzyme Defense™ Pro – Therapeutic Enzymes
Therapeutic Enzyme Blend – for Immune Health Support, Including Cellular Repair and Recovery
With Targeted Proteolytic Enzymes, D3, Minerals and L-lysine
Enzyme Defense Pro contains a high potency proprietary blend of proteolytic enzymes (proteases). These proteases (protein-digesting) are responsible for regulating the body’s digestive and metabolic processes, thus making them essential for cellular function and overall wellness. We get some enzymes from raw foods, and the body makes enzymes, but as people get older, we make less of them.
Supplemental proteases taken orally on an empty stomach have been shown to be absorbed and carried into the bloodstream (rather than working on digesting protein from your food). While in the bloodstream, proteases bind to alpha-II macroglobulin; the bound proteases circulate through the body to become part of the immune system. The proteases function therapeutically by “digesting” undesirable foreign bodies that contain protein (such as bacteria, viruses, yeast); then the body eliminates the remains of the degraded organisms through natural processes of purification.
In addition, the proteolytic enzymes nattokinase and serratiopeptidase support healthy circulation and speed healing. They may also stimulate phagocytes (cells that ingest foreign particles and debris) and accelerate elimination by way of the lymphatic system. Nattokinase has been known to support healthy circulation as a result of its high fibrinolytic (one that breaks down fibrin) and antioxidant activity. Similarly, serratiopeptidase works to support vascular health through improved circulation, tissue repair and anti-edema qualities.
Enzyme Defense Pro is also formulated with L-lysine, an essential amino acid (essential because the body cannot make it) for overall support of a healthy immune system. (Some research suggests that regular L-lysine supplementation may prevent the outbreak of cold sores and herpes simplex; mega doses of L-lysine are used for treating or preventing cold sores.)
Enzyme Defense Pro contains Vitamin D, which has been studied for its support of a healthy vascular system, is essential to innate immunity and for reducing inflammation. Vitamin D also modulates cell growth and differentiation and is well-known for its role in calcium absorption and bone mineralization.
The components of Enzyme Defense Pro promote cellular repair and recovery in addition to encouraging a healthy inflammatory response.

Enzyme Defense Pro – Ingredients
Vitamin D3 – is essential to innate immunity and reducing inflammation; it also modulates cell growth and differentiation and neuromuscular function. Vitamin D also promotes calcium absorption and enables normal bone mineralization. (Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin or brittle.)
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that we produce from cholesterol when our skin is exposed to the UV rays in sunlight. It is also found in a few foods, most notably, fatty fish and fortified dairy and juice products.
Minerals – Calcium and Magnesium are required to activate thousands of enzyme reactions within the body.
Protease Thera-blend – this proprietary formula contains multiple strains of protease (enzymes for digesting proteins). Research has indicated that oral proteases bound to alpha-II macroglobulins are capable of digesting protein pathogens in the blood, thus supporting the immune system.
Catalase – this enzyme exhibits powerful antioxidant properties and is essential for the body. It catalyzes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide to form water and oxygen, therefore neutralizing harmful free radicals.
Nattokinase Blend – studies have shown that the protease nattokinase promotes healthy blood clotting and normal blood viscosity. Nattokinase produces a prolonged action in two ways: it prevents inappropriate coagulation of the blood and it breaks down existing thrombus.
Serratiopeptidase – a proteolytic enzyme, also known as Serrapeptase. Studies have indicated the potential for this enzyme to increase circulation at the site of infection.
Mucolase – a unique proteolytic enzyme which targets and digests proteins as well as digesting inappropriate or excess mucus for the body to rid of.
L-lysine – an essential amino acid. (Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot make and must be obtained from food and supplements.) Research has suggested that L-lysine exhibits antiviral properties and may be an effective agent for reducing severity and occurrence of outbreak. (Large doses of L-lysine are often used when someone has a herpes simplex breakout.)
Other Ingredients: 100% Vegetarian Capsule (cellulose, water).
Contains no: dairy, preservatives, salt, sucrose, soy, wheat, yeast, nuts, corn, gluten, casein, potato, rice, artificial colors or flavors. No fillers.
Enzyme Defense Pro – Suggested Use
Take 1 capsule per day on an empty stomach (1/2 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.)
More may be taken as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. Consult your physician prior to use if you are pregnant or lactating. Patients on an anticoagulant or with a blood clotting disorder, or immediately prior to or after surgery, should also consult their physician about using.
My Personal Experience
I have clients that have been taking Enzyme Defense Pro daily for several years, as a nutritional supplement for overall support of their immune system.
Keep closed in dry place; avoid excessive heat.
