Vascuzyme, a comprehensive multi-enzyme formula, helps support normal blood circulation and vessel function, and maintains normal inflammatory balance. It also promotes recovery from exercise and physical stress by supporting the breakdown of unwanted proteins, aiding the body's natural repair processes. For a normal recovery process, Vascuzyme has applications for a broad range of health needs. Vascuzyme's enzyme blend includes, protease, amylase, papain, trypsin, lipase, chymotrypsin, bromelain and peptidase enzymes, along with quercetin and rutin, two well-known flavonoids.
Enzymes are complex proteins that catalyze metabolic reactions throughout the body, and sufficient levels are required for optimizing many of the body's functions. Although the body produces its own supply of enzymes, the amount produced can vary from person to person and is affected by age, diet, biochemistry and stress. Enzymes fall into three broad categories: metabolic enzymes, manufactured by cells to carry out various functions; digestive enzymes, primarily manufactured by the pancreas to digest foods and absorb nutrients and food enzymes; and exogenous (from outside the body) enzymes from plants and animals, also necessary for aiding and accelerating digestion. Systemic enzymes support the breakdown of unneeded proteins, which research has shown to be an important component of cardiovascular health and supporting optimal blood vessel function. In cases of soft tissue discomfort from post-exercise pain, systemic enzymes help break down fibrin to support areas of inflammation and reduce recovery times. Research has shown that proteolytic enzymes are well-absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract into the systemic circulation.
Suggested Use:
2 capsules per day on an empty stomach or as recommended by your health care professional.
Research
Studies have highlighted the efficacy of systemic enzyme therapy for a variety of uses, including maintaining normal inflammatory balance, nasal passage health, bronchial health, musculoskeletal health and exercise-related recovery. Research has also shown that flavonoids, such as rutin and quercetin, maintain normal inflammatory balance.
Strong peptidase enzymes have been used in both Japan and Europe for maintaining normal inflammatory balance since the early 1980's, with systematic reviews supporting their beneficial role in lowering the release of harmful amines in various tissues, balance the bodies systemic inflammatory burden, as well as supporting the breakdown of unwanted proteins without affecting healthy tissues.

Enzymes are great for your overall body health and this formula is excellent for your joints. At 68, I enjoy taking long walks in the morning without knee pain.

When Nestle bought out Garden of Life I was no longer able to find Wobenzym-N anywhere. Searches online steered me to Oakway Naturals where I thankfully found Vascuzyme. It's proven to be just as beneficial as my old standby and only requires two capsules instead of three; so it's less costly as well.

I have been taking Vascuzyme for few years. It was recommended for inflammation, and it has helped. A few years ago I broke my foot and it helped my recovery.

A lot of the inflammation has gone away but still have some inflammation in both knees. Knees still hurt but better than what they were before I started. I have only been on it 1 week now so good so far. Hoping for more better results soon.
