Univase Forte

NOW WITH SERRATIOPEPTIDASE!

Pardon us for crowing, but we have simply the best enzyme on the market, bar none. NO ONE makes an enzyme with as much as α-chymotrypsin (an extremely potent and long-lived proteolytic enzyme) as we do. Compare our ingredients to other so-called “high-potency” enzyme formulations and big name European enzymes then compare prices.

Our high potency proteolytic enzyme formulas contain a mixture of several different enzymes as well as other synergistic nutrients to enhance the nutritional benefits of this powerful blend of enzymes. It used to be that this product would be best delivered in enteric coated tablet form.

An enteric coating is one that is placed over the tablet or capsule to protect its contents. However, unless it says ” pH sensitive” before enteric coating, you may be getting a simple protein or even vegetable shellac coating. Protein coatings do work to a limited degree, but can be digested by stomach acid, thus exposing enzymes to premature destruction. Sometimes, the protein coat survives the stomach, and unfortunately the duodenum as well, allowing the tablet to pass through the system undigested.

Since stomach acid is highly destructive to pancreatic enzymes and to most plant source enzymes and since capsules are quickly broken down in the stomach, the use of old-style capsules with enzymes is a bad idea. But advances in technology have changed that. Now capsules can be effectively be made pH sensitive themselves, and thus are manufactured more efficiently with no reduction of potency due to processing.
