Enzyme Descriptions
Lysozyme
Lysozyme is an animal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the cell walls of certain microorganisms. Evidence suggests that lysozyme may be a useful supplement for anti-microbial and immune support.

Enzyme Descriptions
Catalase
Catalase catalyzes the destruction of hydrogen peroxide. Supplemental catalase works synergistically with endogenous catalase to prevent the oxidative effects of hydrogen peroxide. Scientific evidence suggests that antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase can be useful supplements for antioxidant support, anti-inflammatory support, immune support, and cardiovascular support.

Enzyme Descriptions
Xylanase
Xylanase hydrolyzes xylans, indigestible components of plant fibers. Since humans lack the endogenous enzymes required to digest plant fibers, the supplementation of xylans provides humans with an additional source of nutrition and reduces the bulking effect of fibrous foods. Scientific evidence suggests that carbohydrolytic enzymes, such as hemicellulase, can be useful supplements for digestive support and general nutritional support.

Enzyme Descriptions
Phytase
Phytase catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid (a plant component known to bind minerals) into its component parts. Since humans lack endogenous phytase, the supplementation of phytase can release important mineral nutrients that would otherwise be lost from the diet. Scientific evidence suggests that enzymes, such as phytase, can be useful supplements for digestive support and general nutritional support.

Enzyme Descriptions
SOD (Superoxide dismutase)
SOD (Superoxide dismutase) is an animal enzyme that catalyzes the destruction of superoxide free radicals. Evidence suggests that antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD, can be useful supplements for antioxidant support, anti-inflammatory support, immune support, and cardiovascular support.
