Repair
contains the
highest amount of proteolytic enzymes that have exhibited
anti-inflammatory qualities. Proteolytic enzymes (enzymes that have
the ability to break down protein) have been shown to reduce the
amount of fibrin in the damaged capillary, improve circulation and
speed recovery.*

Recommended
Usage:
Take 2 capsules,
2 to 3 times a day on an empty stomach (30 minutes before or 2 hours
after eating). Repair may be taken before and after strenuous
exercise to speed recovery.*
Enzymedica uses
an exclusive Thera-blend process for its protease, lipase, amylase
and cellulase. Each of these enzymes actually represents multiple
strains which are blended for their ability to break down numerous
bonds in varying pH’s.

Inflammation:
One
of the major concerns of inflammation is capillary blood flow. These
small blood vessels are responsible for carrying oxygen and
nutrients to the cells and removing waste. After an injury some of
these capillaries may be damaged, making them incapable of carrying
fluid to and from the damaged tissue. The result is pain, swelling,
redness, heat and loss of function. By repairing the capillaries,
the bruises, swelling and pain disappear. Proteolytic enzymes
(enzymes that have the ability to break down protein) have been
shown to reduce the amount of fibrin in the damaged capillary,
improve circulation and speed healing. Additionally, these same
proteases have been known to stimulate phagocytes (cells that ingest
foreign particles and debris) and accelerate elimination by way of
the lymphatic system.*
Recovery:
In a recent
study, runners were given protease supplements or a placebo four
times a day for three days. This consisted of 24 hours before and 48
hours after running. The participants were evaluated for mood,
muscle soreness and pain threshold 24 and 48 hours after running 30
minutes at about 7 miles per hour. The result was a decrease in
soreness, improved pain threshold and no mood change with those
taking the proteolytic supplements over the group who took the
placebo. This is not new. According to some sports medicine reports,
there is scarcely a top athlete in Germany who is not familiar with
enzyme therapy. Additionally, in Australia, athletes are provided
with enzyme capsules as a precaution to aid in rapid recovery after
injury.*
