The difference between WobenzymN RED & CLEAR….

Red WobenzymN is the original German formula. It has 16mg sucrose, Kaolin (which helps alleviate bad gas which some people get when taking systemic enzymes) & sunset yellow food coloring (a food grade coloring).

Clear WobenzymN was developed for Health Food stores in the USA who objected to the above three ingredients.

Both Red and Clear contain the same amount of systemic enzymes.

Wobenzym - The world’s best-selling and most thoroughly researched systemic enzyme formula.

Clear Coating - no sucrose, food coloring or Kaolin.

Red Coating - 16mg of sucrose, which adds more than 1/2 of one calorie to each tablet, sunset yellow food coloring (common food additive used in cereal, baked goods, snack foods, ice cream, and beverages), and Kaolin, which is ideal for customers who experience loose stools when taking clear Wobenzym

Wobenzym is recommended for:

• Healthy Joints • Improved Mobility • Robust circulation • Healthy Aging • Normalized Inflammation • Sports Injury Recuperation

Millions of people take Wobenzym every day for one simple reason: they feel better! This anti-aging supplement has gained a "cult following" among physicians and consumers alike. In fact, Wobenzym is the # 2-selling preparation in all of Germany behind only aspirin!

Wobenzym is used by many famous athletes and Hollywood celebrities, including football legend Dick Butkus. Browse our site to find out why more people turn to Wobenzym every day.

Wobenzym contains systemic enzymes, which split other proteins and break them down into smaller chains of amino acids. The body uses these naturally-occurring enzymes like a biological "vacuum cleaner" to rid the blood of circulating immune complexes and other harmful proteins that can lodge in joints or cause other health problems.

The Wobenzym Story

The story of enzymes is as fascinating in its details as it is amazing in its applications in promoting human health and wellbeing. Enzymes are proteins that are an integral part of Nature. In fact, life without enzymes would not be possible. Enzymes are needed for each and every chemical reaction that make life possible. No vitamin, mineral or hormone can exert its beneficial effects in the human body without the involvement of enzymes. Despite their central role in all bodily functions, it is only now that the full import of enzymes in human health and disease has begun to be fully appreciated. MUCOS Pharma, the pioneer in systemic enzyme therapy, has been the standard bearer for the last fifty years in having paved the way to elucidate the function of enzymes, and their use as an oral systemic therapy.

The history of enzyme research reads quite like a detective story, as diligence of dedicated scientists tested the secrets of enzyme function and developed preparations to alleviate human pain and suffering. It all started with a simple question: What are the enzymes? Years, even decades, of work finally yielded insights into the architecture of enzymes, which is beguiling in its simplicity and elegance, yet embodies the intricacies of their function.

Functions of Enzymes

Since they have unique structure, each enzyme is meant to carry out a specific task. Any given enzyme is evolved to fulfill a definite function, and this specificity allows the body to strictly control the use of enzymes. Once activated, an enzyme will perform its specific function until it is "exhausted," or it is inhibited by another enzyme, in which case its activity is curtailed and/or stopped. As researchers have found out after years of painstaking and laborious work, there is a good reason for this control: It prevents bodily processes from spinning out of control, which may be deleterious to health and wellbeing.

Even casually, the specificity of enzymes suggests that there will be particular types. In fact, Nature has "engineered" families of enzymes for specific tasks. One of the most beneficial and abundant classes of enzymes is referred to as proteolytic enzymes. Enzymes in this category have the ability to "nibble" at other proteins, and break them down into smaller chains of amino acids. Hence the name, proteolytic enzymes, which literally means "chewing up proteins."

On the surface, it might appear counterintuitive to degrade proteins in the body. Are proteins not required for optimal cellular function, and do they not afford good health and vibrancy well into the golden years? Indeed, they do! In disease, however, the human body produces proteins that could potentially have injurious effects, and further compromise health if left unattended. It was precisely this goal that Drs. Max Wolf and Helen Benitez set themselves roughly one-half a century ago when they started their quest to find a wholesome, effective and safe alternative for human health and wellbeing. Of course, their objective was to understand how cancer comes about and whether natural alternatives could be designed that will not wreak havoc on the human body as radiation and chemotherapy do. Despite their scientific astuteness, little did Drs. Wolf and Benitez anticipate that their systemic enzymes will afford man immense health benefits, irrespective of whether or not systemic enzymes "cured" cancer.

Drs. Wolf and Benitez, along with Dr. Karl Ransberger, a young biomedical researcher from Germany, tested a large number of enzymes from animal and plant sources. The work was slow, and it progressed in fits and starts, since the researchers had to optimize the conditions to isolate and purify the enzymes. Not only that, they had to struggle to maintain the activity of the enzymes, because the enzymes are notorious for being finicky and unstable. That is, if the enzymes are not handled properly under precisely defined condition, they become inactive. After all, the researchers were working in the 1950s, a time when the basic enzyme technology was still in its infancy, and individual scientists had to rely more on their wits than technology to tweak answers from Nature.

Once Drs. Wolf and Benitez had optimized the conditions necessary to maintain the enzyme activity, they started the next part of their work to combine and evaluate various enzyme formulations in assessing their beneficial effects. These must have been trying times for Drs. Wolf and Benitez. By its very nature, the work was slow, and required almost superhuman patience. After years of dedicated work, they finally experienced the Eureka effect! Their systemic enzymes worked! Perhaps, better than they thought, since beneficial effects of their enzymes were far more varied than they had expected in their wildest expectations.

Benefits of Wobenzym

Why did Wobenzym work so well? To a large extent, the answer rests with the type of enzymes contained in Wobenezym. These are proteolytic enzymes, which cleave other proteins. While under normal physiological condition, proteolytic enzymes maintain homeostasis in the healthy body, they also break down aberrant proteins that may arise during various diseases. Thus, in basic research and several tens of clinical studies carried out over the years under the auspices of MUCOS Pharma, Wobenzym has been found to degrade, for example, harmful and abnormal immune complexes that precipitate autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, immune complexes also thicken the blood, which potentially could trigger an array of diseases. These studies are a matter of public domain, and may be readily retrieved.

In fact, after some 50 years of Dr. Wolf’s work, we have come full circle. Dr. Wolf started his research to find a cure for cancer. After decades of diligent work, almost remarkable determination and scientific insights, proteolytic enzymes have been shown to help cancer patients. Thus, Wobe-Mugos, a sister product to MUCOS’ flagship product Wobenzym, is under consideration by the United States FDA for Orphan Drug status as adjuvant therapy for multiple myeloma, which is the cancer of B cells in the blood. In addition, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, affiliated with Cornell University Medical School in New York, has worked tirelessly to show that proteolytic enzymes are effective in the clinical management of pancreatic cancer. In recognition of his painstaking work, Dr. Gonzalez has been awarded a research grant by the National Cancer Institute to carry out a clinical trial. Undoubtedly, the work of scores of scientists and physicians over the decades deserves recognition, which has made this sea change possible. By the same token, however, it is also a testament to the insights, vision, and belief that Dr. Wolf had in his work.

As scientists learn more about the connection between enzymes and good health, more and more doctors recommend Wobenzym.

It’s a simple fact that systemic enzymes are important to our health. Systemic enzymes are absolutely essential to maintaining a healthy body and an active lifestyle. Your body uses systemic enzymes to rebalance the inflammatory response and fine-tune repair processes to help you recover from injury and disease. Fortunately, you can replenish your supply with the naturally occurring enzymes in Wobenzym.

Wobenzym is recommended for:

• Healthy Joints • Improved Mobility • Robust circulation • Healthy Aging • Normalized Inflammation • Sports Injury Recuperation

While other products – like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) — offer quick but temporary solutions, Wobenzym empowers your body to heal itself. Wobenzym is the most thoroughly researched systemic enzyme supplement available to support your good health.

Wobenzym N is a safe, natural, clinically researched enzyme formula, unlike aspirin type products which are formulated to temporarily inhibit pain.
