Enzymedica: The Enzyme Experts: Enzyme DefenseTM is an improved version of ViraStop. The enhanced formula contains a 60% increase of Serrapeptase (also known as Serratiopeptidase). The immune system is constantly challenged with protecting the body from environmental threats. Almost all of these threats have a protein component that the immune system must identify and then break down. Enzymes can break down undigested food protein, cellular debris and proteins that don’t belong in the bloodstream. Research has shown that oral proteases, taken as a dietary supplement on an empty stomach, are absorbed and carried into the blood stream where they are bound to plasma proteins known as Alpha-II-macroglobulin. Enzyme Defense is not an “immune stimulator,” rather a supporter of healthy immune function. Thera-blendTM is an exclusive process that combines multiple strains of enzymes that work in specific pH levels, resulting in superior performance in the body. The unique Enzyme Defense formula includes Enzymedica’s protease Thera-blend that helps break down protein intruders in the bloodstream and catalase, an enzyme that provides powerful antioxidant properties. This enzyme neutralizes harmful free radicals. Rounding out the Enzyme Defense formula are MucolaseTM and serrapeptase. These enzymes digest mucus, encourage healthy circulation, and support systemic health. 60 Capsules
