Uses For A.I. Enzymes

Digestive Support:

Taken with meals, this plant enzyme blend supports the body’s natural digestive process by promoting the breakdown of protein, carbohydrates and fat.*

Musculoskeletal Support:

Taken between meals, the enzymes in A.I. Enzymes promote healthy levels of kinins and fibrin, thereby helping to maintain normal muscle and joint function.*

The Source for A.I. Enzymes

The protease and amylase in this formula are derived from the digestion of a nutrient source by Aspergillus oryzae. Lipase is derived from the digestion of a nutrient media by Aspergillus niger. Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger are fungi that produce enzymes when grown in certain nutrient media. The enzymes they produce to digest this media are isolated and purified. There are no fungi present in the finished product. Bromelain and papain are derived from pineapple and papaya, respectively. Rutin is sourced from the Fava danta tree found in Brazil.

Potential Side Effects Or Precautions

If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking this product. Individuals with an allergy to pineapple or papaya should not take this product. While there is no fungi present in the final product, individuals with candida may be sensitive to this product.
