SoyZyme was
developed to help immunomodulate the body, remove immune complexes and
truncated protein debris from circulation, control cellular proliferation,
prevent bone mass loss, and enhance blood rheology. SoyZyme combines two
powerful phytonutrients: Genistein and a blend of Proteases. The combination
of these provide far ranging protective and therapeutic benefits to the
body.
SoyZymeTM is a proprietary phyto (plant derived) extract containing approximately 6% of the total weight as pure isoflavones, the majority of which is the isoflavone Genistein. Genistein is one of the most active isoflavones of soy. Soy and its derivative isoflavones are clinically shown to be agents that provide protection against various conditions including heart disease and help normalize female related health issues such as PMS, menopause, and osteoporosis. Genistein's role as a "weak estrogen" is being extensively studied for its possible ability to combat some forms of cancer, including breast and prostate.
Component Benefits:
Genistein:
Genistin and Genistein are isoflavones
mostly found in soybeans.� Genistin is the glycosidic form of the
isoflavone and Genistein is the aglycone form. The aglycone form is the form
most absorbed into the intestinal mucosa. When ingested in the form of
genistin (the glycosidic form) the intestinal bacteria remove the glycosidic
moiety and convert it to Genistein which is then absorbed. In the present
formulation of highly concentrated pure Genistein, additional glycosidases
were added to ensure the conversion of the genistin present into the
absorbable aglycone form.
Several studies have shown that Genistein provide the following benefits:
Protease:
The formulation contains a mixture of
highly active proteases with wide range of pH stability, activity, and
ability to cleave several types of peptide bonds. In fact, the proteases
have endopeptidase as well as exopeptidase (amino and carboxypeptidase)
activities. When taken on an empty stomach, oral proteases pass readily into
the blood� stream where they bind to alpha 2-macroglobulin. The binding
to alpha 2-macroglobulin "hides" the exogenous protease from the
immune system, yet allowing it to maintain its hydrolytic activity and act
upon substrates small enough to come in contact with the protease/alpha
2-macroglobulin complex. In fact, contrary to some belief, alpha
2-macroglobulin is not a protease inhibitor per se. Some proteases when
bound to alpha 2-macroglobulin maintain their catalytic activities, while
other proteases do not. This duality in effect is due to the size of the
protease and/or its substrates: large substrates may not be able to reach
the active site of the trapped protease whereas smaller substrates may
easily reach within the complex and be acted upon by the
protease.
The proven benefits of oral proteases include:
Ensures the conversion of the genistin
present to the more absorbable genistein.
