Did you know 20% of the world's population may have a food intolerance?

Here's the problem.

• Many common food sensitivities are caused by enzyme deficiencies
• You need enzymes to digest and extract nutrients from food
• Enzyme production decreases with age
• Humans lack certain enzymes needed to properly digest nuts, beans, legumes and plants
• The modern diet is largely devoid of digestive enzymes
• The number of people with a food intolerance is on the rise

During the consumption of food, hormonal signals occur that cause digestive enzymes to produce in your saliva and pancreas.

These enzymes accelerate the breakdown of food in the mouth and gut so nutrients are released and can be absorbed across the intestinal barrier into the blood stream.

Therefore, one of the main functions of digestive enzymes is to increase the bioavailability of nutrients.

There are many reasons why digestive enzyme production may decrease:

• Poor pancreas health
• Alcohol abuse
• Micronutrient deficiencies
• Protein deficiencies
• Diets high in refined carbohydrates
• High calorie intake
• Too little exercise
• Aging

Although the leading cause for an enzyme deficiency might explain why supplementing with digestive enzymes may seem like a recent fad...

Humans used to get a LOT more enzymes from their diets. In the past, humans consumed plenty of raw foods to help re-supply the digestive tract with beneficial enzymes, but today most of the foods we eat are cooked or heavily processed - both of which deplete natural enzymes.

What's more, because even the raw foods we eat are typically transported and refrigerated, their natural enzyme content is lowered even further.

Finally, there are several digestive enzymes the human body lacks altogether. The two most critical are:

• Cellulase
• Protease

These are the enzymes that break down plant fiber and the phytates found in beans and legumes.

Because of this deficiency, many people have trouble breaking down starchy beans, legumes, plants and nuts to absorb their beneficial nutrients.

This all goes to say, if you tend to eat plants, nuts and legumes, you need to supplement with these enzymes.

zuENZYMES introduces the digestive enzymes your body may be lacking.

zuENZYMES is a powerful blend of digestive enzymes meant to help you digest:

• Protein
• Carbohydrates
• Fats
• Lactose
• Plants
• Beans, Nuts and Legumes

zuENZYMES will not only help you support smoother and more comfortable digestion in your everyday eating, it will help you extract more nutrients from your food.

By investing in zuENZYMES, you will be getting more out of your food.

Due to manufacturing constraints, the initial run of zuENZYMES is made up of two proprietary blends. Transparency is important to us at UMZU, so below you will find the breakdown of the dosages of each enzyme in zuENZYMES:

• Amylase: 7,700 DU
• Protease 4.5: 20,400 HUT
• Protease 6.0: 2,550 HUT
• Protease 3.0: 10 SAPU
• Neutral Protease: 3,850 PC
• Acid Maltase: 11 MaltU
• Bromelain: 25.5 GDU
• Papain: 357,000 USP units
• Glucoamylase: 12.75 AGU
• Peptidase: 2,550 HUT
• Lactase: 820 ALU
• Alpha-galactosidase: 102 GaIU
• Lipase: 1,070 FIP
• Pectinase: 7.65 endo - PGU
• Invertase: 450 SU
• Cellulase: 200 CU
• Xylanase: 255 XU
• Hemicellulose, Beta-Glucanase & Phytase: 150 MU

The potency of enzymes is not measured in the same way as other nutritional supplements (ex. "mg"). The determining factor of an enzyme product's potency is the effect it has on proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Take 1 capsule of zuENZYMES daily with a meal to ensure your gut can break down your food properly for the day.

If you are sensitive to a certain type of food, for example dairy, we recommend taking zuENZYMES with the first bite of food from the sensitive meal, similarly to how you would use a lactase enzyme tablet like Lactaid.

Not only can an enzyme deficiency come from diet and lifestyle, but our bodies naturally produce fewer enzymes as we age. It can be hard to get what we need through diet alone because the process of cooking destroys the enzymes contained within food. Taking an enzyme supplement can help fill in the gap. 

Not all enzyme supplements are created equal, and zuENZYMES, while gentle, is still one of the most potent formulas on the market. It contains powerful enzymes like amylase, lipase, cellulase and protease. These enzymes break down complex foods like carbohydrates, fats, fiber and protein.* At the same time, it is not so harsh as to be uncomfortable — making it ideal for those with sensitive stomachs. 

UMZU's proprietary zuABSORPTION and zuDIGESTION formula technology means that the enzymes found in zuENZYMES will work throughout the entire pH spectrum found along your digestive tract. When other brands’ enzyme formulas may fall short, in almost all acidic or alkaline environments, zuENZYMES will be effective.

Because we aren't huge fans of proprietary blends, we included the full breakdown of included enzymes and dosages in this accordion above.
