MassZymes

Systemic enzymes are taken on an empty stomach as digestion will interfere with their effectiveness. We suggest you take our MassZymes first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, or during the day to elicit a systemic enzymatic effect. To support healthy digestion, take MassZymes a few minutes before each meal of the day.

**Please Note: Our enzymes can be used both for food digestion and on an empty stomach.

When you take our MassZymes on an empty stomach, the enzymes don’t get tied up with digesting food. Rather, studies have shown that the protein-digesting enzymes can get absorbed whole and deliver health benefits throughout the body. By providing your gut with supplemental enzymes, you free up the gut cells from the demands of needing to produce so many of its own digestive enzymes. So, the gut lining and organs that produce enzymes have more amino acids and energy for metabolism and restorative processes. Your pancreas produces and secretes many different digestive enzymes, so taking MassZymes can be a way to support your pancreas.

If you’ve eaten raw or fermented foods, you’ve eaten digestive enzymes. Also, digestive enzyme supplements have been around for nearly 100 years, some of them approved as medications. Digestive enzymes are very safe to take because they are very similar to the enzymes, acid, and bile that are naturally secreted into your gut. Your gut lining cells have inherent mechanisms that protect themselves from being digested.

If you have gastritis or ulcers, it may not be a good idea to take digestive enzymes. Also, some enzymes may interact with blood-thinning medications. Be sure to consult your health professional on whether enzymes are safe for you to use, especially if you are on medications.

Absolutely not. There are many digestive enzyme combination supplements out there. Some enzyme supplements are for digestive support, while others are systemic, to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Each enzyme in the combination works in a narrow range of pH (acidity and alkalinity). Your stomach is very acidic, whereas your small intestine is very alkaline.

In vitro testing shows that MassZymes enzymes remain active across a broad range of pH conditions.

MassZymes contains a higher concentration of proteases (protein-digesting) enzymes than our top competitors. These proteases can help maximize your protein absorption. Clinical research on enzyme blends also suggests support for exercise recovery and exercise-related muscle discomfort.

In studies[8], rice bran was effective in retaining the nutrients in enzymatic processes and can improve nutritional value and health benefits in supplements.

Enzymes can become activated by moisture. By including a stabilized hypoallergenic rice bran we are able to offer longer shelf life and improved effectiveness of the product.

Digestive enzymes help break down the food you consume by speeding up chemical reactions converting nutrients into substances your body can absorb.

We use different types of enzymes to target different nutrients:

• Protease in our enzymes breaks down protein
• Amylase in our enzymes breaks down carbohydrates and sugars
• Lipase breaks down fats in our body

MassZymes is vegan and cruelty-free.

The digestive enzyme's role is to break down food. If you take it on an empty stomach, it won’t have any food to perform its function.
