Oral proteolytic enzymes, like those found in Trevinol, when delivered and absorbed into the bloodstream (Enteric Coated Capsules) can act systemically in a process designated as re-absorption.
Oral Systemic Proteolytic Enzymes
While needed in digestion to break down protein, Proteolytic enzymes are also essential in the blood stream, tissues, organs and throughout the body and are provided as Oral systemic proteolytic enzymes. Oral systemic proteolytic enzymes are best taken an hour before or after a meal to avoid being used for digestion. Oral systemic proteolytic enzymes supplements must be enteric coated to delay and prevent breakdown during the digestive process prior to entering the bloodstream for delivery where needed in the body. Everything from the immune response to inflammation control to liver and circulation functions is influenced by oral systemic proteolytic enzymes.
As stated, because proteolytic enzymes are processed or cooked away in today’s food and decline naturally as we age, quality supplementation is required. Primary benefits of oral systemic proteolytic enzymes are then to:
- Reduce inflammation including in heart health such as within arteries
- Promote joint health through inflammation reduction
- Provide mobility and range of motion enhancement
- Reduce pain conditions including sports injuries
- Cleanse the blood of debris including blood clots
- Aid in detoxification by excess protein breakdown
- Expose cancer cells to white immune cells by breaking down the thick fibrin protein coating on cancer cells
- Enhance TNF alpha – tumor killing factor and interferon
- Enhance immune cells to kill bacteria, viruses, fumgi and molds as protein/amino acid based pathogens
- Enhance immune cells in digestive enzyme activities
- Break down undigested protein immune cell clusters (CIC’s) for autoimmune aid, re-absorption into the circulatory system and better cancer cell detection
- Dissolve scar tissue made of protein
- Contribute to healthy aging by replenishing enzymes who's natural production declines with age
Major proteolytic enzymes include Serrapeptase from the silk worms, Bromelain comes from the stems of pineapples, Nattokinase from Nato cheese and papain is derived from unripe papayas. Animal derived Proteolytic enzymes include Pancreatin containing amylase, lipase and trypsin; trypsin (separate from pancreatin) and chymotrypsin produced in the body.
To be optimally effective, a proteolytic enzyme supplement must have the needed enzymes in a proper blend in an orally ingestible and stable form, as Trevinol created.
A preferred combination includes Co-Enzyme Q-10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid.
The oral systemic proteolytic enzyme supplements must maintain stability during the digestive process, while preserving an activity level sufficient to remain effective while in the blood stream and until arriving at a needed destination in the body.
Inflammation, Pain and Proteolytic Enzymes
Proteolytic enzymes calm the inflammatory response whether caused by cardiovascular-heart-circulatory issues, aging joints deteriorating with arthritis, repetitive stress injuries or fibromyalgia muscle aches and pains.
Inflammation is often measured in the body by a test for C-reactive protein (CRP), with high levels associated with unacceptable inflammation.
Low grade inflammation is now also indicated as a more destructive condition for health than previously recognized, while being overlooked in most testing for health issue causes. This informative blood test unfortunately is not covered by health insurance in most instances and overlooked by primary care physicians. If you suffer from pain and suspected inflammation, request a C-reactive protein test from your physician.
The calming or pacifying effect of proteolytic enzymes on the inflammatory response is accomplished by up-regulating an anti-inflammatory group of proteins and peptides called cytokines, while at the same time calming the production of the cytokines that promote inflammation. Cytokines are signaling compounds allowing cells to communicate with each other. Serrapeptase is an effective enzyme for pain relief by its ability to block amines that induce pain in the tissues, plus additionally countering fluid retention in the body while reducing sputum and mucous in the lungs to aid in chronic airway diseases including asthma and sinusitis.
By calming the inflammation in the body, the levels of pain are likewise significantly reduced for many and especially those associated with health issues such as fibromyalgia and arthritis.
