Best Proteolytic Enzymes

Best Proteolytic Enzymes is a potent formulation containing a 
broad spectrum of proteolytic enzymes (proteases). Proteolytic 
enzymes function in the body to digest and break down proteins 
into their amino acid components. When taken as supplements, 
studies show that various proteolytic enzymes, including 
bromelain (from pineapple), papain (from papaya), 
serratiopeptidase (from bacteria), and fungal protease (from a 
non-pathogenic fungus medium), are absorbed through the lining 
of digestive tract and into the circulation [1]. These enzymes, 
once in the bloodstream, are available to facilitate chemical 
reactions throughout the body and have a wide range of 
applications.

Doctor’s Best designed this exceptionally 
potent, high-quality proteolytic enzyme formula to include a 
broad spectrum of proteolytic enzymes from a variety of plant, 
bacterial, and fungal proteases. The goal was to create a blend 
that works at a variety of pH levels to support the body’s 
native enzymatic needs. Maintaining optimal enzymatic function 
is a key factor in supporting the foundation for health and 
wellness of numerous individuals.

Bromelain – a general name 
for a family of proteolytic enzymes derived from the pineapple 
plant. Bromelain effects various systems in the body through a 
variety of physiological mechanisms, including inhibiting the 
formation of bradykinin, limiting the generation of fibrin, 
increasing the breakdown of fibrin, modulating prostaglandins, 
and decreasing platelet aggregation.

Papain – a proteolytic 
enzyme derived from the sap (also called latex or milk) of 
unripe papaya. Traditionally used with bromelain.

Fungal 
amylase – an enzyme derived from the fungus Aspergillus oryza. 
Breaks down carbohydrates, such as starch, and 
glycogen.

Lipase – the main enzyme responsible for breaking 
down fats. Lipases hydrolyze triglycerides (fats) into their 
component fatty acid and glycerol molecules.

Protease 
(bacterial, fungal, neutral) – a group of enzymes whose 
catalytic function is to hydrolyze (breakdown) peptide bonds of 
proteins. Proteases differ in their ability to hydrolyze various 
peptide bonds. Bacterial proteases are optimally active in 
alkaline conditions, fungal proteases in more acidic conditions, 
and neutral proteases (from bacteria) are optimally active at a 
neutral pH.

Rutin – an antioxidant citrus flavonoid 
consisting of sugar molecules bound to a quercetin backbone. 
Rutin known to modulate the immune and circulatory 
systems.

Serratiopeptidase - the “Miracle Enzyme” according 
to Dr. Han’s Nieper, a legendary medical doctor known for his 
extensive use of proteolytic enzymes.  This proteolytic enzyme 
has been shown to be more powerful than the pancreatic enzymes 
proteolytic enzymes chymotrypsin and trypsin.
