So the past few days, I've talked about an excellent digestive enzyme product called MassZymes.

There have been a lot of really good questions about this stuff that I wanted to share with you in case you were still on the fence about trying them.

I'm currently on 3 weeks of taking MassZymes (and P3-OM probiotics) and I'm really noticing a difference in my recovery and my digestion. I like these a lot.

(just fyi, when you go through any of the links in this email, you'll get an automatic 10% off)

Wade Lightheart (one of the creators of MassZymes) has got the answers to these questions for you...

1. Mike asks:

I'm curious as to who validated the enzyme content and quantities advertised in the MassZymes you are promoting? Anyone can say their product is the best. Independent third party analysis is what proves it.

WADE’S RESPONSE:

All of the products are tested at a lab facility for content and potency. Even then, many manufacturers fudge numbers and that's why we offer a 60 day money back satisfaction guarantee.

Because numbers on a lab assay or ingredient list are one thing...results are another. If Masszymes aren't the most potent enzyme formulation you've ever taken, simply send it back for a full refund.

2. Christian D. asks:

So would any enzyme supplements be good to add to my supplement intake?

WADE’S RESPONSE:

NO. Enzymes come in a range of strengths, potency and effectiveness.

Our enzymes are “cultured enzymes”, which are developed over 6 weeks under highly specialized conditions, resulting in enzymes that are up to 1000X more potent than a food enzyme.

Also, we use stabilized plant-based enzymes that work in a pH range from 2-12, which is far more versatile than animal or regular food enzymes. We also have our unique Tri-Phase protease which cleaves protein into usable amino acids in the upper cardiac portion of the stomach — where protein digestion begins — all the way through the digestive system.

Masszymes was the first muscle-building specific enzyme blend ever developed.

And it was the key that allowed me to win ‘All Natural National Bodybuilding Championships’ while consuming less than 85 grams of plant protein per day. This was unheard of until the development of the MassZymes formula.


3. Raul asks:

Is this also good to use for my kids age from 6 and 7 years old?

WADE’S RESPONSE:

Absolutely! In fact it's perhaps the best way to fight off viruses and bacteria. We suggest 1 capsule for every 20kg of body-weight.

Kids do extraordinarily well on both Masszymes and P3-OM.


4. Anonymous asks:

Is this ok for a woman to take?

WADE’S RESPONSE:

Absolutely. Women love how our product reduces inflammation, bloating, gas, and also improves skin tone.

When your digestion is ‘on track’, you get that radiant glow to your face that everyone recognizes as healthy. We have an incredible number of women who swear by the P3-OM / MassZyme combo for eliminating candida and herpes flare ups.


5. Darrin B. asks:

So why not just consume BCAA’s then instead?

WADE’S RESPONSE:

Good question. BCAA's are a building block, but enzymes and probiotics are “workers”.

Even the best BCAA's require enzymes and probiotics to effectively deliver the products to your muscles. That's not to say BCAA's aren't effective.  

Enzymes and Probiotics are the catalysts, and they also eliminate undigested protein from the intestinal tract, which is critical to long term digestive and eliminative health.

Once you have completed 30-, 60- or 90-days, you will find that your BCAA stack will work even better, because you have more workers and less pathogenic bacteria in your digestive system.

Enzymes and probiotics also have a wide array of functions in the body beyond digestion and assimilation.


6. Arnaud asks:

Most supplements are crap. I've been working on my nutrition lately and I'm a kinesiology major so I can't help but be a little skeptical.

Would you stake your reputation on this product in saying that it will make some sort of positive impact on my fitness/health?

It is expensive, and i know about the 60 day guarantee, but before i try any new types of supplements i want to know that you can honestly say it’s a good product. Thank you for your time.

WADE’S RESPONSE:

Hi Arnaud, I studied kinesiology at the University of New Brunswick.

And my business partner at Masszymes Inc, Matt, studied kinesiology at the University of Moncton.

I also currently serve as a sports nutritionist and adviser to the American Anti-Cancer Institute, so I believe a healthy dose of skepticism is definitely warranted.

When I first began intensive enzyme and probiotic research in 2003, I had no idea how complex the science was, or how many bogus products were out there.

Fortunately, I was mentored by one of the top enzyme and probiotic scientists in the world, which rapidly reduced the learning curve.

The bottom line is you can feel the difference after a few months.

Enzymes and probiotics are not like regular supplements — such as creatine or NO2, which create a quick response.  Rather, they build up over time in the system gradually, steadily increasing your digestive health and immune system capacity.

My suggestion is to check out books by Dr. Edward Howell, such as ‘Enzyme Nutrition’, and ‘Food Enzymes for Health and Longevity’, or world renowned colon doctor, Dr. Hiromi Shinya's books called ‘The Enzyme Factor’ and ‘The Microbe Factor’.

These experts spent decades of real world research in demonstrating the effectiveness of enzymes and probiotics for health. We just took the research and used it to enhance performance, without resorting to drugs and chemicals, which is primarily in vogue in the medical community due to the profits made on drugs.

MassyZmes and P3-OM are super expensive to make, and therefore less attractive solutions to companies who produce pharmacological drugs, which are far more profitable than optimized nutrition.  Our company is privately held and does not have to answer to profit-hungry shareholders.  


7. Vince asks:

What do you know about the impact of enzymes with feedback loops in your body? If you ALWAYS took enzymes, wouldn't your body stop it's own production?

WADE’S RESPONSE: Good question on the biofeedback loops. I follow a similar process on all of the supplements that I have used in the last 15 years with the exception of Enzymes and here’s why:

The only thing that does work in your body are Enzymes. And enzymes are present in virtually every food on the planet, so that we break it down during "optimal digestion".

The only species on the planet to cook its food is HUMANS. Cooking, processing, and irradiating food destroys enzymes in the food, putting extra metabolic work on the body.

The body is forced to metabolize muscle —  either smooth or striated — in order to manufacture it's own digestive enzymes to break down the "enzyme-deficient food".

Further compounding the problem is that modern food has significantly less protein and enzymes than food grown just a 100 years ago. That’s because food grown on mineral deficient soil converts protein from the food into enzymes in order to grow the plants.

This problem is compounded by the use of steroids, Growth Hormone, dyes, preservatives, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides, which interrupt the enzyme capacity of all organisms that ingest them (that includes people).

Dr. Edward Howell reported in the in the middle of the last century that the average individual has less than 30% of their enzyme potential by the age of 40.

Interestingly, virtually all animals will fast when sick or injured, so that their enzyme potential is used maximally to boost healing in the body.

The benefits of fasting are largely from the relief on the digestive system from the process of digestion, which some experts estimate takes up 50-70% of metabolism.

Years ago I experimented with ultra-high dosages of enzymes and probiotics during fasting, to see if I could accelerate detoxification results. And the results were profound.

I use these same protocols for people who are sick with conditions like the Big C, with incredible results as well.

Check out Dr. Howell's ‘Enzyme Nutrition’ and ‘Food Enzymes for Health and Longevity’, which contain a host of incredible studies backing up the science of long term use of enzymes.
 
Matt and I have used this product for 10 years without any challenges, And I can say this... we have both experimented with periods off the product, which simply suck... LOL

Many people believe that supplementing enzymes compromises enzyme production in the body.

However, there has been no scientific study anywhere in last 100 years, that I am aware of, that demonstrates supplementation of enzymes compromises ANY of the biofeedback loops of the body.

Of course, the ultimate proof is by monitoring one’s own body through blood analysis, genetic testing, hair analysis, GDV testing etc.

I hope that answers your question.

---------------------------

A BIG THANK YOU TO WADE for taking the time to answer those questions.

Hopefully, that helped you determine if you'd like to give these a try.

If you want to learn more about the benefits of enzymes and probiotics in protein digestion and muscle-building, I still have the PDF of the interview I did with Wade up, that you can download directly here.

And, as I mentioned above, they're also currently offering you an automatic 10% off MassZymes when you order now.

In closing, I just want you to know where I'm coming from with this stuff.

I'm not a fan of most supplements. A lot of them are total garbage and a waste of money. In the past few years, I've gotten WAY more selective about the supplements I take and recommend.

In fact, 90% of the stuff I DO take is simply nutritional support (greens, fish oil, vitamins, minerals, etc.). Training and nutrition should be the main drivers of results.

Digestive enzymes and probiotics fall right in line with my philosophy of using targeted supplementation to SUPPORT the body nutritionally, not to try and force results in spite of a crap program or poor eating.

This stuff is absolutely worth testing for yourself.
