“I have gone from bedridden to the active, happy and healthy person I was 20 years ago!”
Joint Pain, Blood Pressure, Keratosis

"A drunk driver hit me while I was riding my bicycle along Truckee River in 2000. Before the accident, I was perfectly healthy and worked as a nurse…Within a year of my accident, I was bedridden. I have eight herniated discs, psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia. I have had three joints replaced. My neck was bad. I was taking 15 prescriptions for my various conditions...In addition, I was taking double the highest recommended dosage of two very popular (and dangerous) arthritis medications, a potent NSAID for rheumatic conditions and a TNF inhibitor. My son is very health conscious and he is a big believer in your enzymes. He tells everyone about them.  I started taking Peptizyme-SP in 2010 with the skepticism of someone who was a RN. I cannot tell you how happy I am since I began using these enzymes. Under my physician’s supervision, I began eliminating my prescriptions. I am down from the 15 medications to just hormone and asthma medication today. My asthma doctor said he has heard other stories of fantastic results with Petpizyme-SP, and suggested to keep taking it. Even my hypertension disappeared! (My blood pressure reduced from as high as 240/180 down to 100/60.) And as an added bonus, the ugly keratosis which once covered my legs is gone, and the five-inch scar on my abdomen from a recent surgery is almost invisible now. Peptizyme-SP is the most fantastic supplement I have ever taken in my life. I have gone from bedridden to the active, happy and healthy person I was 20 years ago! Thank you for this miracle."

"I have Fibromyalgia ...Full Stength Exclzyme..for 2 weeks..joint pain and muscle aches are less..."
Fibromyalgia

“I have fibromyalgia. After taking Full-Strength Exclzyme, 3 capsules 3 times a day for 2 weeks, my pain was significantly improved. My joint pain and muscle aches are less and I can get around much better.”

“My doctor….told me I have less scarring in my lungs and I was his first patient with less scarring.”
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

"I was diagnosed in 2008 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In 2009, I had 3 lung infections, so I started to look on the internet for help and found Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP enteric coated enzymes by AST Enzymes in California. I’ve been taking the doses 3 times a day, without missing one. By February, after taking these enzymes for four months, my breathing got so much better. I completed a walking test of 6 minutes without any oxygen. After moving to Florida, I found a new pulmonary doctor. At my first visit, I gave my doctor 2 CT scans, from 2008 and 2010. He evaluated the 2 CT scans and asked me ‘What are you doing?’ I asked ‘Why? Do I have the same, more or less scarring in my lungs?’ He told me I have less scarring in my lungs and I was his first patient with less scarring. I told him about my Enzymes from AST, and he told me not to change anything. I’m walking now 3 times a week for 3 miles (with oxygen) without any problems. Also, my cough and mucus are gone. I’d like to say thank you to AST Enzymes. It is good to feel better again, and I’m infection free for 18 months."

“I use Exclzyme…systemic enzymes help my fibromyalgia more than anything else I’ve taken.”
Fibromyalgia

"I have fibromyalgia.  It isn’t as bad as it is for some people, but it does give me muscle aches and pains, i.e. discomfort. I also have arthritis, so my aches are compounded. I use AST Enzymes’ Exclzyme. Systemic enzymes help my fibromyalgia more than anything else I’ve taken. I do have occasional aches and pains, depending on my activities. But I definitely feel better when I take Exclzyme than if I don’t take it.  I talk to people about health things all the time and I recommend Exclzyme."

Pulmonary Fibrosis: “I have been taking Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP… I went from hardly getting off the sofa to doing an hour workout at rehab..”
Pulmonary Fibrosis

“In September 2010 I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. I was told there was nothing that could be done about it and the mean life span was approximately 3 years. After coming out of “shell shock”, I went online and Googled “alternative therapy for pulmonary fibrosis”. I checked a number of sites but was impressed with the knowledgebase of AST Enzymes. I spent several hours poring over material involving systemic enzymes; I was familiar with digestive enzymes but not systemic enzymes. In addition to the information online, I was encouraged by calling their 800 number and talking with Luis. I realized I had to be responsible for my wellbeing and my instincts told me I was on the right path with this one. After being told there was nothing that could be done, I was given hope and possibly a better outcome. I have been taking Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP for one month and find it almost too good to be true. Was it all in my head or had my energy level quadrupled? Was I just imagining that my overall aches and pains had diminished? I went from hardly getting off the sofa to doing an hour workout at rehab, going grocery shopping afterwards, putting the groceries away (I live alone which makes it all the more imperative that I stay as healthy as possible) and yet was not exhausted at the end of the day. Something was definitely going on and the only change I made was the addition of enzymes. I urge anyone reading this not to accept what you’ve been told and know there is a way to recapture what you thought was gone forever. I personally intend to stay with these enzymes as a maintenance program for the rest of my life. Thank you AST for providing me with a brighter future and thank you Luis for being so caring.”

"Gluten Relief...“I noticed a dramatic reduction in the severity of my symptoms."
Gluten Intolerance

“A few years back I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance after what seemed like a lifetime of stomach pain, nausea, dizziness, and intestinal discomfort. I was told by my doctor that my only option was to completely cut out wheat, barley, rye, and oats. As strict as I can be with my diet, there are the occasional times where I cannot avoid ingesting gluten, whether it be a direct encounter or indirectly because of the proximities of preparation to foods containing gluten. Recently a friend had brought the product Gluten Relief by AST Enzymes to my attention. I called their customer service line to find information on the product and the representatives were not only extremely knowledgeable but very personable as well. After the first few uses I noticed a dramatic reduction in the severity of my symptoms. Now, 6 months later, I still use the product and will continue to do so.”

- Nick Green, Pomona, CA
“...I started taking Serracor-NK about 5 months ago I have noticed a significant reduction in inflammation (and pain) in the affected areas...”
Inflammation

“As a massage therapist for over 22 years, I am aware of and concerned with the detrimental effects of inflammation, both in my clients as well as myself. Over time I have developed significant inflammation in my upper body, as related to the constant intense pressure I often have to use with my work. Since I started taking Serracor-NK about 5 months ago I have noticed a significant reduction in inflammation (and pain) in the affected areas of my shoulders, wrists, hands and elbows. I am extremely satisfied with the benefits of taking Serracor-NK and plan to continue making this a part of my health regimen!”

- Sara, CMT, LLCC, San Andreas, CA
“…Full-Strength Exclzyme for 6 months… I am pleased to report I am completely pain free.”
Fibromyalgia

“I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2002. As my chronic pain became more extreme I became concerned about the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain medications. I heard about systemic enzymes and the claims seemed too good to be true. I have been taking AST Full-Strength Exclzyme for 6 months now. I am pleased to report I am completely pain free. I take 2 capsules each night. I keep water and the Exclzyme on my bedside table and take them when I awaken in the night. If I miss my enzymes for more than one night the fibromyalgia pain returns. This is affordable and so much better for me than other pain reduction options.”

- Janet, Coos Bay, OR
“I have more strength; I’m not reaching for the oxygen as often; I can breathe easier…”
Pulmonary Fibrosis, Diabetes, Blood Pressure

“I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 1994…I started using more and more oxygen, all the time, every day. The doctors even asked me to sleep with the oxygen... About three months ago, in April 2011, we found Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP online. Within the first few months of taking the enzymes, I could see the following changes: I have more strength; I’m not reaching for the oxygen as often; I can breathe easier… Also, my cough is better. I used to cough every 10 minutes to every half hour, a sharp, dry cough that would irritate my throat and bother my husband. Now, I cough 2 or 3 times a day. I was also suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure and other heart problems. Since I started taking the enzymes, my tests results are good. My blood pressure went from 190 to 200 on the high end down to 150. My blood sugar is very low now, to the point where I can put sugar in my tea and eat fruits. Last month, I even reduced the dosage of my diabetes and cholesterol medication from twice a day to once a day.”

- Gitta Lal, Vancouver, CA
“After taking Serracor-NK for just 3 weeks, I was amazed how fast my blood pressure went down.”
High Blood Pressure

“I have been taking Serracor-NK for almost five months now for my high blood pressure. Before taking Serracor my blood pressure was 150 over 100 and my pulse was around 80 bpm. After taking Serracor-NK for just 3 weeks, I was amazed how fast my blood pressure went down from 150 to 135 over 78. I also sleep extremely well with this product and would recommend it to everyone.”

- Roger M., NY
“Since I began taking Exclzyme-2AF…I’m nowhere near as stiff or sore as I used to be from the pounding my body takes.”
Joint Pain

"I have been a marathon runner for 22 years. Since I began taking Exclzyme-2AF seven months ago (Feb. 2011), I’m nowhere near as stiff or sore as I used to be from the pounding my body takes. In addition when I ran long distances outdoors in the sun for one to four hours, I used to have to take Tylenol or Advil or something to stop from getting a headache. For years and years, I would get roaring headaches from the sun if I didn’t take anything. Since I began taking Exclzyme-2AF, I don’t have to take anything. I don’t get those headaches. I don’t know how or why Exclzyme-2AF works, but it works, and I continue to take it."

- Joel Bernstein, Los Angeles, CA
“I am lactose intolerant, but I can eat real ice cream without any side effects as long as I take two DigeSEB-GI before eating.”
Lactose Intolerant

"In 2006, the doctor told me I was lactose intolerant and asked me to cut dairy out of my life. I would experience gas, burning, bloating and acid reflux. Even after cutting dairy out, I didn’t feel totally better. I tried enzymes and probiotics from other companies and had little results; I would still be sick. Then I started taking DigeSEB-GI (two before every meal) and Floracor-GI (two twice a day on an empty stomach). Since my introduction to your enzymes, I find it easier to digest my food. I am lactose intolerant, but I can eat real ice cream without any side effects as long as I take two DigeSEB-GI before eating. The food I eat digests so well, I have regular elimination and I have no problems (no gas, bloating or burning). Between DigeSEB-GI and Floracor-GI, I am covered. This stuff is amazing."

- Robert D., Staten Island, NY
“Serracor-NK. This product has made a profound difference in the way that I feel on a daily basis.”
Diabetic with Hypertension

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your excellent product called Serracor-NK. This product has made a profound difference in the way that I feel on a daily basis. I am diabetic with hypertension, and most of the time when I go to have blood drawn it is always a challenge, as my blood appears quite thick. Within three weeks of taking Serracor-NK, the technician at the laboratory was able to draw my blood without any trouble. She even commented on how easy it was to draw, and that the color and consistency was much better than before. I also believe that my blood pressure is lower than it was previously. I will continue to take this product, as I believe that it is also increasing my energy level. Thanks again for this wonderful product!”

- Robert C., Texas
“Within six months of taking Exclzyme, I was backpacking again, even as high as 11,000 feet.”
Diabetes. Blood Circulation

"When I was diagnosed with diabetes, a friend told me about systemic enzymes. He had a worse case of diabetes than I did (it almost killed him) but systemic enzymes helped him tremendously. He was taking another systemic enzyme blend, and I tried that initially. Later, I came across AST Enzymes’ Exclzyme on the internet. I was impressed. I get the same effect with using only half the amount of Exclzyme. That saves me money. The enzymes helped me get my stamina back. All my life, I liked back packing and climbing mountains. But recently, I was having a hard time just going out to get my mail. I had a lot of pain in my body; I couldn’t walk very much. Within six months of taking Exclzyme, I was backpacking again, even as high as 11,000 feet. We can hike a week or more at a time now, my wife and I. Bad circulation is one of the primary symptoms of diabetes, and my legs were suffering because of it. Exclzyme cleared up my blood circulation. Exclzyme provides me with a general sense of well-being. I feel I am getting protection in so many ways."

- Eugene, 80, Mountain City, TN
"…using Serracor-NK, my blood pressure has been lowered and joint swelling is gone."
High Blood Pressure

"I had been suffering from old sports injuries, joint swelling and borderline high blood pressure. I started taking Serracor-NK after reading about its benefits. Seven weeks later and still using Serracor-NK, my blood pressure has been lowered and joint swelling is gone. I’ve enjoyed more energy and a better quality of life, thanks to AST."

- John Wingard, Prattville, AL
"Serracor-NK with Serrapeptase... has had a marked effect in controling pulmonary fibrosis in my wife"
Pulmonary Fibrosis, High Cholesterol

"The combination of AST Enzymes’ Serracor-NK with Serrapeptase, along with N. Acetyl Cysteine, has had a marked effect in controlling pulmonary fibrosis in my wife. Along with a positive attitude, prayer and faith, we are following a program of healthy nutrition, exercise and other holistic medications. This regimen with Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP appears to be working. Her breathing is normal, she doesn’t require oxygen and the cough only acts up during allergy season. We walk two miles a day; she is more vigorous than I am. Some burn scars she has had since a child appear slightly modified. I believe Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP helped her recover from her two surgeries, also; and helped in lowering her cholesterol levels! Holistic medications work, especially when traditional medications available are essentially not effective! I would highly recommend the enzymes."

- Mario Cometti, M.D.
“Exclzyme…helps heal injuries, takes away the soreness and reduces the inflammation that comes in your joints from working out.”
Workout Soreness, Inflammation

“An herbalist recommended Exclzyme to me two years ago.  I’m athletic and I have a busy schedule, working nearly 18 hours every day.  I could tell the difference when I started taking Exclzyme. It helps heal injuries, takes away the soreness and reduces the inflammation that comes in your joints from working out. I used to have to get in the bathtub and soak after working out, but I don’t have to do that anymore. It takes away my occasional knee pain. It greatly reduces inflammation and injury.It’s a great product and I recommend it to all of my friends.”

"Peyronie’s disease developing… Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP… in two weeks I noticed a significant change "
Peyronie's Disease

“In July this year I noticed a structural change in penile gland, which eventually led to the symptoms of a mild Peyronie’s disease developing. My research revealed that there is no proven conventional treatment except to wait for surgery until the condition gets worse. Due to my medical background in naturopathy and nutrition, I did my research to find an alternate treatment and all evidence led me to an effective systemic enzyme therapy. Now it was time to find a dependable company dedicated to genuine enzyme products available at a reasonable cost. I was fortunate to have found AST Enzymes and after careful study of their products, I ordered one of their best products Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP 80,000 SU. I started the therapy in September and in two weeks I noticed a significant change in the reduction of scar not only in penile gland but surprisingly reduction in a cyst (of unknown origin) on my left forehead got almost invisible. In addition, the increases circulation in the lower body parts have significantly improved the discomfort and pain in my lower back and legs due to the degenerative disc disease at L3-L4.

It is amazing to see the quick results and now after 3 months of continued therapy, I feel great. I have now introduced their line of digestive enzymes including Floracor-GI to enhance immune system and reduce the inflammation. Thank you AST Enzymes for improving my quality of life and I wish you good luck. Keep up the good work.”

- Chandra
"My energy increased, my clarity and alertness increased."
Candida

“I suffer from candida and have tried several different products. My friend suggested I try her Floracor-GI while on a visit. INSTANTLY, within one hour I could feel it work. I continued 2 capsules morning and night for 3 days. My energy increased, my clarity and alertness increased. I highly recommend this product. Such a Godsend! Thank you AST!”

“Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP: “My pain level is way down and I am doing stretches I used to only dream about.”
High CRP Levels, Muscle/Joint Pain & Inflammation

“Three of four years ago, blood work revealed my CRP level was at a 12. It is supposed to be in the range of 1-3. High internal inflammation can cause all sorts of internal damage, including heart attacks. I’ve always had really tight muscles and a lot of pain. I began doing more research on inflammation, taking fish oil and curcumin and drinking a lot of water. Then, one of my healthcare practitioners put me on a systemic enzyme supplement. I took them for a year or two because they helped calm my inflammation level, but the pills stuck in my throat every night (they were large tablets). I began searching for a good systemic enzyme that was easier to swallow and came across Serracor-NK in July 2011. A year earlier, I had broken my wrist and had to have surgery to put the radial bone back together with pins and screws. By the time I came across Serracor-NK, my wrist had stopped improving in its range of motion. About 2 weeks into taking the Serracor-NK product, my wrist started moving again. I couldn’t believe it. I had been to hand specialists and a bunch of other doctors and physical therapists, but nothing else had helped. I later switched to taking the AST Peptizyme product instead of Serracor-NK. I had very little hope of getting my wrist all the way back. And now, I think it may be very close to normal by the time I am done with my rehab. In addition, I feel less pain. My muscles are better, looser. My massage therapist is going to start carrying AST Enzymes products now for her other massage clients. I told my physical therapists and my mom about it. I’m telling everyone. I feel like my whole body is being chipped out of concrete after all these years (I am 49). My pain level is way down and I am doing stretches I used to only dream about. My wrist continues to improve as well. These are GREAT systemic enzymes!”

“I am fifty years old and had considerable joint difficulties before using your products.”
Joint Pain

“I would like to thank you for providing the highest quality systemic enzymes available. I have been using Serracor-NK, Peptizyme-SP and Floracor-GI for several months with outstanding results. I am fifty years old and had considerable joint difficulties before using your products. I have tried all the other systemic enzyme products out there, and have found yours to be superior. Having had joint pain, I was worried about exercise induced inflammation, as I have recently begun working out again. Even with strenuous exercise, I have no joint or muscular problems with the help of your enzymes. Also, I really like the fact that my heart and cardiovascular health is taken care of with the nattokinase formula in Serracor-NK. Finally, between your great line-up of enzymes and your exceptional sales and customer service team, I remain a loyal customer. Keep up the good work!"

- Matt, PA
"My mood is better. I have more energy."
Bowel Movement

“A colon hydro-therapist recommended Floracor-GI to me. It’s been six months and it’s helped my overall body health. My bowel movements weren’t regular, and I was fatigued often. I found that Floracor made a huge difference in my bowel health. I actually have just overall felt better. My mood is better. I have more energy. I noticed a marked improvement on several levels so I continue to take Floracor.”

- W. N., New York
“Serracor-NK and Peptizyme –SP…. I have a lot of energy and can move around better now than before the 2 heart attacks.”
Heart Health

“My doctor had me taking low doses of a medication to treat high cholesterol for a couple of years. I kept changing medications because I was experiencing muscle fatigue, pain and slowing down in everyday activities. This led up to my heart attack in July 2004. The heart doctor decided to insert 3 stents into my main aorta. They had me taking 4 medications for cholesterol control, blood thinners, blood pressure control and blood clotting control. All of these medications slowed me down to where I could hardly function normally. Then I had another heart attack! After having 2 more stents put in and leaving the hospital in 2009, I immediately stopped taking all of the medications. My wife decided to search the internet for natural serrapeptase products and noticed AST Enzymes, which led to the first order.

I’ve been taking Serracor-NK and Peptizyme –SP since June 4, 2010 and am very happy to report I have been feeling extremely well and full of energy. I have a lot of energy and can move around better now than before the 2 heart attacks. I’ve been able to walk at a brisk pace and not feel tired. I forgot something in my truck and ran across the school grounds at the school my grandchildren attend and realized I wasn’t out of breath at all. I haven’t done that in years. Even my food allergies have completely disappeared! I can’t give these enzymes enough praise because they are working so well and I feel so great. Thank you for all of your great products. I didn’t know there was anything available that would help me get my life back together.”

"My pain level has decreased considerably."
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Peter Ierardi, 52, of Holbrook , NY , suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome, minor arthritis and knee pain. He began taking 4 capsules a day of Exclzyme-2AF about a month ago.

'Today I am pain free in both areas and have full mobility."
lumbar spine injury

“I have been using Peptizyme-SP (serrapeptase 80,000 SU) since February 2010. At that time I was recovering from a lumbar spine injury and surgery. In 2008 I had cervical spine surgery to replace 2 discs in my neck. I had ignored this problem for 10 years. In both the cervical and lumbar spine my surgeon saw scar tissue (adhesions). I began serrapeptase to support healthy tissue repair and reduction of scar tissue. It was also important for me to promote muscle, joint and overall tissue health after injury to my left sciatic nerve. Today I am pain free in both areas and have full mobility. I continue to take 2 enteric coated capsules every day. After surgery I took 2 capsules four times a day for 4 months, gradually decreasing the number to 2 capsules per day. As an added benefit, the spider veins in both my legs have vanished! Thank you AST Enzymes!”

“She’s moving around now and is able to do a lot of things herself…”
Dog, Canine Hip Pain

"I gave some Exclzyme to my 17-year-old dog that had had a hip injury and was hardly moving around. She's been taking enzymes for about a year now and it's made a big difference. She's not going to get any younger, but she's moving around now and is able to do a lot of things herself."

“Exclzyme 2AF, my joint pain has been almost entirely eliminated.”
Osteoarthritis

"The normal prescription for osteoarthritis is a cellular lubricant. Failing to take something that strong, the next step is always NSAIDs like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.  I am aware of the effects of NSAIDs on the liver and stomach, so I was looking for a safer anti-inflammatory product. As a result of taking Exclzyme-2AF, my joint pain has been almost entirely eliminated. I have been taking a minimal dosage (2 capsules per day), and find it adequate to control inflammation. If I wake up at night with pain, I take two Exclzyme-2AF capsules and I’m sound asleep until the morning. The pain is gone. If I take them two or three nights in a row, then the pain doesn’t come back at all for a few days. It seems to have a cumulative effect. I highly recommend it to other people."

“After taking DigeSEB-GI… No bloating, gas or stuffy feeling.”
Digestive Issues, Acne

After taking DigeSEB-GI, I quit taking Jarrow Enzymes because at 62-years-old I started digesting like a 30-year-old. No bloating, gas or stuffy feeling. Love it, the big meal just seems to go away! To me, that’s awesome digestion.  In addition, my son, 24, suffers from acne. After taking DigeSEB-GI for 4 weeks, he got 60% better. Thanks!”

“I can't believe the difference the Exclzyme has made - I feel like Lazarus. I feel like I died and came back to life!”
Fibromyalgia

“I'm a Vietnam-era veteran and professional technology engineer, who was treated for depression for many years. I was treated with a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor and anti-depressant. I had pain all over my body due to fibromyalgia. I also had chronic-fatigue syndrome and a number of other issues. I couldn't function. I wasn't working. I shut down.

I continued downhill until I was off the medicine. Without the medications, I was able to go to the bathroom on my own, but I still couldn't get up and feed myself or anything. I was in an assisted-care situation, with a caregiver and dietician. I eventually left the VA and got hooked up with a good MD allergist who practices allopathic and naturopathic medicine. I was looking for a way to get additional relief without using drugs. That's when I discovered systemic enzymes and Exclzyme. I can't believe the difference the Exclzyme has made - I feel like Lazarus. I feel like I died and came back to life! Enzymes brought back my cognitive thinking and I became increasingly alert. It cleared out blockages in my circulatory system and cleaned up the capillaries; I could feel the warmth in my toes and fingertips. I was in less pain and was more comfortable physically. I had developed a sensitivity to temperature changes, but after starting enzyme therapy, my bodily thermostat began to function again. I didn't get the chills like I used to. Most importantly, I began to have hope. I actually began to expect recovery after six weeks of taking enzymes. Now, I take my Exclzyme and I can function on a day-to-day basis. I am pain free.  I am able to be up and about, on the computer, have correspondence and participate in some networking. I'm starting to have a life.  Plus, I'm nice to be around when I take my Exclzyme. Now, at 66 years of age, my mind is clear enough for me to reflect and I see that the only way this could be better is if I had started taking Exclzyme long ago and avoided the last 30 years of personal pain and loss. Exclzyme is the answer.”

“Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP…he feels good and can’t believe it.”
Pulmonary Fibrosis

“My husband, Ellis, has had a persistent cough for what seems like forever. The pulmonary doctor listened to Ellis’ chest, and without any CAT scan results, the doctor said to Ellis, ‘You have pulmonary fibrosis. You need oxygen. I’m ordering it for you.’ I didn’t want Ellis to begin taking oxygen because it is habit-forming. We sent all of the oxygen that arrived at our house back, and went to another pulmonary doctor for a second opinion. After reading the results, this doctor recommended oxygen also. We said, “No, I don’t think so.” In February 2010, we went to the hospital in Denver. The doctor wanted to do a lung biopsy, but we refused because it’s a very invasive procedure. The doctors then conducted a CAT scan, which showed Ellis had significant amounts of scarring on one side of his lungs. With pulmonary fibrosis, you don’t get better; you only get worse – and fast. When we came home from Denver, I started to do my own research. I thought that there has to be something else out there. And that’s when I found AST Enzymes products. Ellis started taking Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP in February 2010. We went back to Denver in May and Ellis retook the breathing test. His test results had stayed about the same as before, which is good because that means he didn’t get any worse. His blood oxygen levels were really good too, even better than mine. It’s been over a year, and Ellis has been taking Serracor and Peptizyme ever since. He feels good, and can’t believe it. He takes his enzymes religiously. Ellis could hardly walk five steps without being out of breath. Since he began taking systemic enzymes, he doesn’t feel that same shortness of breath. In addition to his lung health improving, the Baker’s cyst behind his knee has disappeared. Ellis is doing fine, and we attribute it to the Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP. “

"My mobility is better. No pain, no swelling. I am able to take walks."
Knee Pain

Thomas Honsa, 56, lived with pain for decades.Honsa underwent a knee operation to remove the cartilage from his right knee in the 1070s, separated both his shoulders in accidents, and wears orthotics to stabilize his ankles.A doctor recently suggested knee replacement surgery, but Honsa decided on an alternative course of natural therapy. On the recommendation of a trusted naturopath, he began hydrotherapy and taking Exclzyme 2AF in April 2009.“I’m feeling better than I have in quite some time,” said Honsa of Exclzyme 2AF and his new course of treatment. “My mobility is better. No pain, no swelling. I am able to take walks. I have been able to begin an exercise program on a rowing machine every day. My knees are feeling better than they have in some time. Thank you. Being pain-free is a wonderful thing.”

“My daughter-in-law’s fibromyalgia pain stopped within two weeks of taking Peptizyme-SP.”
Fibromyalgia

"As long as I can remember when visiting my daughter (in-law), I'd watch her push herself up painfully from sitting only a few minutes,and then taking careful first steps due to painful feet. She would force herself to move about frequently becauseshe said if she didn't, the pain would be even worse.It broke my heart to see her in such pain but I didn't know anything about fibromyalgia. She didn't think there was any known cure. I was pretty determined to find a solution for my sweet daughter (in –law). I chose Peptizyme-SP for several reasons:    1) Enteric coating makes sense to me   2) Peptizyme-SP is the best priced “enteric-coated” enzyme I was able to find out there   3) Remember, I was looking for a solution for fibromyalgia, and serrapeptase is the specific enzyme to dissolve fibrin. Here’s my experience with taking Peptizyme: The older I get, the more working out affects my body (I walk nearly every day). My workout soreness stopped; I notice a definite difference in the way my digestive system is working; and it’s a bit embarrassing, but I had a hemorrhoid that used to wake me up occasionally with sharp shooting pain, which has given me no further trouble since adding the Peptizyme-SP to my regimen. And it’s been a year. Most important, my daughter has gotten miraculous results from this product. Before Peptizyme-SP, my daughter-in-law was in a lot of pain, often. She has been taking the Peptizyme regularly (2 @ a.m. / 2 @ p.m.) for a year. She now moves around like a teenager. She is able to exercise and is looking great. She said Peptizyme has resolved her bladder issues, which are common with fibromyalgia. I plan to live a long time, and to look and feel good doing that living. Peptizyme-SP is now a permanent part of my daily vitamins."

"Exclzyme formula with the same positive results"
Original Exclzyme Formula

“About a year ago, I started taking Peptizyme-SP in order to control pain and neurogenic claudication due to lumbar spinal stenosis. The pain and dysfunction in my legs had become so disabling that I was concerned that in the near future I might not be able to continue in my duties as a chiropractic physician. I was considering surgery or steroid injections as a last resort. Then, I came upon a peer-reviewed article in an orthopedic journal that included a description of how the very small vessels near the spinal nerves in the spinal column show evidence of engorgement and pooling. It occurred to me that the proteolytic effect of the AST enzymes could serve to thin the blood and also act as an anti-inflammatory, helping to alleviate the symptoms of lumbar stenosis – without the risks and side effects associated with surgery and injections. I found that the Peptizyme-SP (in combination with curcumin extract) did just that! The positive effects were obvious after only a few days. I would say that my discomfort has gone from ‘8’ or ‘9’ down to ‘2’ or ‘3’ since I started the AST products. I have also taken the Exclzyme-2AF and the original Exclzyme formula with the same positive results.”

“I now have more energy than I have had in years. My pain level is way down. I have been able to reduce the dosage on my pain medicine.”
Fibromyalgia, Candida

“I suffer from fibromyalgia and side effects of cervical disc fusion surgeries. Every muscle hurt and the fatigue was overwhelming. I had been taking Exclzyme for about four months with moderate relief for the pain. I still however suffered from extreme fatigue. All blood work and tests were inconclusive. I suspected I was suffering from Candidiasis, so I increased my dose of Exclzyme and started taking Floracor-GI. I started showing remarkable improvement. I now have more energy than I have had in years. My pain level is way down. I have been able to reduce the dosage on my pain medicine. I am extremely thankful for Exclzyme, as well as Floracor-GI. They have given me my life back.”

“Serracor-NK and Petpizyme-SP really reduce inflammation in my body, as well as many of the painful symptoms of interstitial cystitis.”
Interstitial Cystitis, Blood Pressure

"I was diagnosed in the late 1990s with interstitial cystitis, a condition where the lining of your bladder is chronically inflamed. I went to an acupuncturist as a last ditch effort to control the pain. The acupuncturist suggested systemic enzymes along with acupuncture because enzymes relieve inflammation in your body. He suggested serrapeptase (in combination with other systemic enzymes) because it has been used in Germany and Asia on cystitis. Along with acupuncture and avoiding acidity in my diet, I take systemic enzymes – and I find it works for me. The Serracor-NK and Petpizyme-SP really reduce inflammation in my body, as well as many of the painful symptoms of interstitial cystitis. I have taken several brands…but I like AST Enzymes’ products the best. Serracor-NK works 25 percent better than anything else, and the serrapeptase in Peptizyme-SP is stronger than any other serrapeptase I have tried. The difference was noticeable. In addition to reducing my pain, I have found Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP also helped reduce my wrinkles, eliminate a large, longtime cyst on my back, and regulate my blood pressure. I take four Peptizyme-SP and four Serracor-NK three times a day. (I adjusted the dosage to find what works best for me.)Systemic enzymes are not a cure, but they relieve my symptoms and allow me to live a reasonably normal life. Without them, my life is difficult.  Systemic enzyme therapy has worked for me, and I’ll continue to take Serracor-NK and Peptizyme-SP."

"Gluten Relief... and find that my previous problems eating dairy and gluten don’t manifest..."
Improved Digestion

“I tried AST’s gluten/casein enzymes (Gluten Relief) and find that my previous problems eating dairy and gluten don’t manifest if I take these enzymes. I’ve only recently finished my first bottle and will be ordering more. I especially like having them in my purse so if I am eating out, I will be covered if I choose to splurge and eat these kinds of foods. I can enjoy them and not wait for unpleasant symptoms to start.”

Digestive Issues

"I am currently using three of your supplements: Exclzyme 2AF, Floracor-GI, and DigeSEB-GI. I started using your products in February 2010, replacing the probiotic and digestive enzyme I had been taking previously. What a marked difference! For the most part I take the supplements for preventative/maintenance purposes, though I have occasional digestive issues. I have experienced an overall increase in energy, improvement in sleep quality, positive digestive experience (particularly on the rare occasion I mix proteins and carbs – I up the DigeSEB-GI dosage!) and a general sense of well-being! Thank you! I feel good!"

“I tell everyone about Exclzyme. It’s wonderful.”
Joint Pain & Muscle Pain

“I got turned on to systemic enzymes because they are used as a natural alternative to pain killers. Exclzyme is natural and vegetarian; it’s in easy-to-swallow capsules, which is important to me; it’s less expensive and it’s as effective, if not more, than the other systemic enzyme supplements I’ve tried. In March, I had a knee replacement surgery. For a month following the procedure, I was required to take some pretty hard drugs, such as hydrocodone. I stopped using these pain killers as soon as I could and went back to Exclzyme. Since I switched, I’ve been doing just fine. I like to stay active…I ride my bike, walk, garden and work around the yard a lot. I take Exclzyme before I go out. Each dose lasts me about three hours, helping with my aches, joint and muscle pain and muscle soreness. I tell everyone about Exclzyme. It’s wonderful."

“Thanks to Serracor-NK, my cholesterol is 113.”
Blood Pressure, Cholesterol

“I started taking Serracor-NK after hearing about it from my neighbor. My blood pressure on medication was always 140/80. After four weeks of taking Serracor-NK, I was measured at the doctor’s office and my blood pressure was 117/70, and I hadn’t taken my medications that day. My top number never goes below 138 on medication so I am really excited about this. Also, I just got the results of my yearly physical, and thanks to Serracor-NK, my cholesterol is 113. That is a miracle! Last year, it was 167 and the year before, it was 165. Thanks so much!"

““Serracor-NK and Petpizyme-SP really reduce inflammation in my body, as well as many of the painful symptoms of interstitial cystitis.”
Chronic Knee Pain

“In 1986, I was laying some electrical wiring between beams in a barn when I slipped off and fell to the ground, hitting some machinery down below. I shattered both my kneecaps. The doctors put all of the pieces of my kneecap back together, tied an actual wire around the outer edge of the bone to hold the pieces in place, and then stitched me back up. My injury was extremely painful. I was taking pain pills and went to acupuncturists, among other things, to help combat it. Eventually, in 1992, I had the wire removed. The pieces of kneecap bone had grown back together, but I still had pain. I couldn't sit for long and tasks like driving became impossible to do for more than an hour. If I hiked, even a little, I experienced a lot of pain that shot through my knee with each step. I have tried so many different treatments and 20 years later, I still have pain. A few months ago, a friend told me to try AST Enzymes' product, Exclzyme. I started taking them at night on an empty stomach and within just a few days, I started noticing a difference. I used to have to wake up 4 or 5 times a night in pain. Since I began taking Exclzyme, I seem to be waking up less and less, at most once a night. With the Exclzyme, I find I can move around a lot more and I'm actually able to do some hiking now. I've been very impressed. I've spent most of my life working in the healthcare profession. In my line of work, you not only had to describe to patients the benefits of the drugs they were prescribed, but also about the side effects. I'd have to give a long explanation of, "If you take this, it might help you some, but you might have these problems as well."  I like Exclzyme because it's a natural product with no side effects. I do not experience any mental disorientation or confusion like I have with other pain drugs. I don't need to take pain medicines at all anymore -- it's amazing. Additionally, I was taking a medicine for prostate issues and difficulty urinating at night. I noticed this changed really soon after I began taking Exclzyme: urinating has become easier and I don't need to take the medicine at all now.  If I would have known about Exclzyme earlier, I would have started then so I could receive the benefits from this product sooner. I found something that really works. I figure as long as Exclzyme is available, I'm going to keep taking it and sharing it with others.”

“Serracor-NK and Floracor-GI…I don’t have any more trouble with leg swelling or breathing. I haven’t had any additional blood clots….I have far less joint pain now than I did before.”
Pulmonary Embolism, Blood Clots, Arthritis, Joint Pain

“In 2009, I wound up in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism. Blood clots had broken loose from my knees and traveled to my lungs. The doctors kept me in the hospital for three months, pumping me with blood thinners and other medication. They told me I would be on all of those medications for the rest of my life and I have to keep taking them. The blood thinners had adverse side effects for me, including dizziness and blurred vision. Plus, I know two people whose fathers died as a result of being on blood thinners for a long time. I started looking into alternatives and came across systemic enzymes, Serracor-NK and Floracor-GI. It’s been more than two years since I have had any problems. I used to have to have more frequent check-ups, but not anymore. I don’t have any more trouble with leg swelling or breathing. I haven’t had any additional blood clots. I attribute it to Serracor-NK. When I first started takingthe enzymes, I took 6 to 8 a day. Now I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. Serracor-NK does a lot more for me than the normal regimen of medicine doctors want you to take, and I have no negative side effects of any kind with the enzymes. In addition to the circulatory and blood cleansing effects, Serracor-NK has greatly reduced the inflammation in my arthritic joints. I’ve had arthritis in my knee, and the wrist and fingers I once broke. I noticed I don’t get the same pain I used to get when it is going to rain. My knees generally aren’t as inflamed. I have far less joint pain now than I did before I started taking Serracor-NK. Several people I know have also started taking Serracor-NK. I tell so many people about it. It’s definitely good stuff.”

“Serracor-NK… doctor…found the disease hadn’t progressed in the two years since my last CAT scan… My breathing is better, I don’t cough, and I’m able to do a lot more for a longer stretch of time than I could before.”
Pulmonary Fibrosis

“In 2008, I was coughing a lot and getting very tired. I had shortness of breath. I couldn’t even do much around the house. Regardless of what I was doing, I would have to sit down or rest. The doctors did a CAT scan and found that I had pulmonary fibrosis. They said there was nothing they could do and there was no medicine I could take. They used to give people prednisone, but they don’t anymore because they find that it didn’t really help. The doctor did tell me to exercise and to lose weight, but I’m not overweight. Other than that, he had no answers for me. He didn’t know when or how, only that for some people, it goes faster than for others. Only after I kept telling him I couldn’t breathe did he finally give me an inhaler. I wasn’t very happy with the lack of answers, so we went on the internet to see what other people were doing. I started on a product (I can’t remember the name) that helped for a short while. Pretty soon, it stopped working and I had all the same symptoms again. We went back on the internet and found Serracor-NK.I’ve been using Serracor-NK for at least 2 years now and I’m doing well on it. The results weren’t immediate, but pretty quickly I found I wasn’t getting out of breath quite as easily. Then, I was able to do more things around the house or outside. Over the first couple of months, I was still coughing quite a bit, but now I’m down to hardly any cough at all. Only on rare occasions do I have shortness of breath. I started with a new doctor in December 2010. He did a CAT scan and found the disease hadn’t progressed in the two years since my last CAT scan. I will see him again in August. I now only need my inhaler if the weather is really bad and I’m exercising. My breathing is better, I don’t cough, and I’m able to do a lot more for a longer stretch of time than I could before. Serracor-NK improved my quality of life, and it means a lot.”

Back Pain

Dr. Kathleen Audette, a naturopathic physician in Bennington, VT, began prescribing Exclzyme 2AF in December 2008 to patients with acute and chronic pain, including conditions such as scoliosis, osteoarthritis and fused discs. “I have patients who have back pain that can’t be fixed,” she said. “They swear by Exclzyme. If they got off of it, they are back in pain. It totally helps them live life.” “When they are on it, they can move, they can go about their daily activities.

Osteoarthritis

Victoria Jackson, of Riverside , CA , was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the foot, resulting in inflammation, redness, swelling and pain in the joint.

Inflammation

“I have had the opportunity to use Exclzyme 2AF and to have some others with inflammation and pain issues use it. Consistently the response is positive.

I would have no hesitation recommending Exclzyme 2AF to both practitioners and clients as I have found it to be very effective.”
