80% Of One's Immune System
Is Located In The Digestive System

Many people, including physicians, do not seem to know that!  Many health concerns are connected to an imbalance of intestinal bacteria (the bad stuff).  There are 100 Trillion+ bacteria in your gut and ideal balance is 85% good intestinal bacteria to 15% bad.  Therefore, making your gut as healthy as possible should be a major priority as healthy immune system is the best way to fight off ALL diseases!  

Many things contribute to the production and spreading of bad bacteria.  Poor diet, sugar, and antibiotics are just a few.  These facts leads me to believe that a high quality probiotic is the one supplement that is totally necessary.  While one can achieve a healthy gut by choosing foods wisely, in this day and age it's so easy to get off track.  Taking probiotics will help you get back on track and will help maintain a tip-top digestive system.

DIGESTIVE AIDS

Active Digestive Enzymes has 17 ingredients, all designed to break down your food as you consume it. ADE may help you enjoy more foods with fewer unpleasant consequences. Many people enjoy dairy, eat spicy food, and live their lives without having to avoid their favorite foods.

Occasional Upset Stomach?

• Lactose Intolerance: The inability to digest dairy. No more ice cream, milk, cheese or whipped cream. The body needs the enzyme Lactase to properly digest dairy. If you eat dairy without Lactase, you can expect to have diarrhea, gas, and bloating that can limit your daily activities.  
• Acid Indigestion: A type of indigestion involving an excess of hydrochloric acid which is produced by the stomach to break down foods, but too much "burns" the stomach walls. Frequent occurrences of acid indigestion can lead to aggravation of the duodenum or to an aggravation of the lining of the stomach.
• Heart Burn: A painful or burning sensation in the esophagus, just below the breastbone, caused by regurgitation of gastric acid.
• Diarrhea: Defined as loose, watery stools that occur frequently. You may suffer abdominal cramping and pain as well.

17 Ingredients May Help Aid in Digestion

• Lactase: Breaks down lactose in milk to make it possible for people with lactose intolerance to consume dairy without digestive problems.
• Lipase: A digestive enzyme responsible for breaking down lipids (fats), in particular triglycerides, which are fatty substances in the body that come from fat in the diet.
• Protease (I & II): The digestive enzymes needed to digest protein.
• Amylase (Alpha & Beta): The enzymes that break down starch.
• Maltase: Breaks down malt sugar.
• Invertase: Utilizes sucrose as a nutrient.
• Cellulase: Responsible for cycling of nutrients and used to cleave the glycosidic linkage in cellulose.
• Glucanase: Used to break down carbohydrates.
• Xylanase: Breaks down carbohydrates into Xylose, one of eight sugars that are essential for human nutrition.
• Pectinase: Breaks down sugar.
• Phytase: An enzyme that can break down the indigestible grains and oil seeds and thus release digestible phosphorus and calcium.
• Hemicellulase: Breaks down sugar.
• Lactobacillus: Converts lactose and other sugars into beneficial lactic acid.
• Biffidum: Essential for support of the immune system and proper function in the intestinal tract.
• Longum: A bacterium that keeps the digestive system running smoothly, blocks the growth of harmful bacteria, and boosts the immune system.

NATURAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

If you need an anti-inflammatory, ASE may well be the powerful all-natural option. Heralded for its ability to begin to act quickly, ASE is not only recommended as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever, but also for its potential to help reduce cholesterol, support heart health, and boost the immune response. A unique combination of enzymes works synergistically together.

  

Active Systemic Enzyme Ingredients

• Peptizyme:  Also known as Serratia peptidase, this purified enzyme has very good abilities in the body as an anti-inflammatory for the sinus areas, swelling after surgery and offers support to external wounds.
• Bromelain:  A mixture of protein-digesting enzymes found in pineapples (Ananas comosus), contains active substances that aid digestion and may help reduce inflammation. Bromelain is particularly effective for the relief of inflammation associated with infection and physical injuries.
• Papain:  May help support ulcers, the breakdown of membranes in diphtheria, the reduction of swelling and assist fever and adhesions after surgery.
• Amla:  Useful for stomach problems, as an antipyretic hair tonic and nerve-brain tonic. It is also useful in anemia, hyperacidity and in gynecological problems.
• Rutin:  A flavanoid which supports health by strengthening capillaries and other connective tissue, and some function as an anti-inflammatory.
• NattoSeb:  A powerful anti-oxidant assistant, blood pressure regulator for healthy bodies and useful for overall normal healthy cardiovascular support.  

What's the difference between Active Digestive Enzymes and Active Systemic Enzymes?

Active Digestive Enzymes is a high-quality enzyme product that aids with digestion and elimination of foods. Active Systemic Enzymes, on the other hand, may help dissolve scar tissue as well as helping to reduce cholesterol, reduce inflammation and pain, support cardiovascular function, and boost the immune response, among other things. It's more about repair. It is enteric-coated to move through the stomach acids into the intestines.

Are Active Systemic Enzymes interchangeable with Active Digestive Enzymes?

No they're not, although they may both be taken for greater health benefit in general. Active Digestive Enzymes is taken just before meals, and Active Systemic Enzymes is taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or between meals.
