- Broad Spectrum Enzyme for General Digestive Support with Papain and Bromelain
- Enhanced Hydrolysis of Complex Carbohydrates and Fats
- Helps Reduce Gas and Bloating from Starchy Meals
- An Excellent Companion to Peptizyde™
HN-Zyme Prime is a combination of 9 enzyme blends in high concentration. These enzymes are effective in enhancing the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, triglyceride fats, starches, and proteins. While not as potent in protein hydrolysis as Peptizyde™, Zyme Prime excels at carbohydrate hydrolysis. This results in less bloating and gas production, as well as helping certain food problems such as lactose intolerance.
HN-Zyme Prime contains CereCalase™, a proprietary enzyme blend of cellulose and phytase, to help solubilize plant fiber and reduce phytic acid. Phytic acid can bind up important minerals and proteins, thus reducing their availability to be used by the body.
Galactosidase is useful in breaking down hard-to-digest carbohydrates found in legumes, and helps reduce gas produced from their fermentation in the intestine.
Amylase and glucoamylase are used together to hydrolyze starchy compounds into simple sugars.
Lipase is present to hydrolyze triglycerides to short-chain fatty acids.
These enzymes are derived from plant-based sources. HN-Zyme Prime is an excellent companion supplement to Peptizyde™. The combination of both products provides digestive help for all the basic food groups: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. HN-Zyme Prime will not interfere with medications or other supplements, and may be taken with other enzyme products.
Reported Benefits
HN-Zyme Prime is helpful in easing the gas production, bloating, and cramping from such dietary problems as lactose and fatty food intolerance. Parents report digestive improvements such as firmer and more formed stools. Some improvement in tolerating phenolic foods was noted. Parents also report that the digestive improvements seemed to improve children’s disposition, such as waking in happier moods. HN-Zyme Prime was observed to often increase weight gain in children who were under-sized, possibly through increasing bioavailability of food nutrients.
Reported Side Effects
No significant or consistent pattern of side effects was noted with HN-Zyme Prime.
Contraindications for HN-Zyme Prime Supplementation
Enzyme products should not be used within 1 week of scheduled surgeries or if bleeding disorders are present. This product may not appropriate for those with known allergies to pineapple or aspergillus enzyme proteins, though non-specific mold allergies do not necessarily preclude use of fungal enzymes. Consult your medical doctor for further advice, and err on the side of caution. Those with known anaphylactic allergic reactions to fungal proteins should NOT ingest fungal-derived enzymes.
Suggested Dosage:1 to 4 capsules before each meal or snack. Dosing is based on the content and the amount of food ingested during a meal, not by body weight or age. Those meals higher in carbohydrates and/or fats may call for higher doses of HN-Zyme Prime. No upper limit has been established for oral enzyme supplementation. Animal studies indicate that extremely large doses of enzymes may be ingested without toxicity or ill effect. For reasons of practicality, no more than 5 capsules need be taken at one time, with no more than 9 capsules taken consistently in any 24-hour period.
