Wobenzym® PS -
Enzymes are biological catalysts that are critical
and necessary to support life. Every second, there
are 15,000 enzymes guiding 30 quadrillion chemical
reactions within our bodies. Whether it's breathing,
growing, digestion, energy production, nerve impulses
or immune balance, all of life's actions are directed by
enzymes.
FUNCTIONS
For over 60 years, Wobenzym® has been a trusted
name for systemic enzyme supplementation.
Developed by leading scientists and used by
millions of people worldwide, the family of
Wobenzym® products has proven to be safe and
useful for overall immune support. Wobenzym PS in
particular has numerous clinical studies that link its
use to maintaining optimal joint health.
In the human body, hundreds of chemical
reactions occur during the course of normal
metabolic processes. Many chemical reactions
require significant energy in order to take place,
and therefore need a catalyst to allow the
reaction to proceed. The catalyst acts to lower
the energy needed for the reaction to move
forward. In the body, enzymes play the role of
the catalyst and allow reactions to take place
that otherwise would not occur. The enzyme
itself is not consumed in this process and can be
utilized again and again. Enzymes are relatively
unique to each reaction and different enzymes
will catalyze different reactions. Structurally,
enzymes are complex molecules that are
comprised of amino acid chains and can
sometimes include co-factors which assist the
enzyme in the chemical reaction. Some
enzymes are sensitive to changes in pH and
temperature and can be destroyed if exposed to
less than ideal conditions.
Wobenzym® PS is a systemic enzyme formulation
that contains a unique blend of enzymes from both
plants and animals that haves been clinically
studied for supporting numerous processes in the
body.†
Systemic enzyme supplements work directly
in the body after they are absorbed in the small
intestine, and are not intended to aid in digestion.
Consequently, these enzymes can be utilized to
assist the body's various regulatory and
communications systems.†

After the enzymes are absorbed, protease
molecules can bind with molecules found within
the blood including -2-macroglobulin, resulting
in the formulation of an -2-macroglobulinprotease
complex. This newly formed complex
alters the molecular configuration of the -2-
macroglobulin molecule which results in a
change in its affinity to bind certain cytokines.
Once a cytokine is bound to the protease, the
entire complex is able to be eliminated from the
body, allowing normal cytokine balance and
immune function to be maintained.
Wobenzym® PS tablets are enteric coated to ensure
that the enzymes are protected and are not broken
down in the stomach. This allows the enzymes to
reach the small intestine where absorption can
occur.
INDICATIONS
Wobenzym® PS may be a useful dietary
supplement for individuals wishing to support
healthy joint, immune and circulatory function.
