There is good evidence suggesting that
the depletion of enzymes leads to
cartilage destruction. One of the
more exciting recent developments has been
the availability of orally ingestible systemic
enzymes as a nutritional means to alleviate
the pain in osteoarthritis. One of the major
advantages of oral enzymes is that they do
not have any appreciable side effects and are
reasonably well-tolerated. They work in the
body with its own resources to mitigate pain
and suffering.
Wobenzym® N, the pioneering systemic
enzyme formula, effectively reduces the production
of proinflammatory cytokines and
inhibits the invasion of synovia by activated
immune cells.
Interfering with these basic processes,
while mobilizing the body’s own resources
over time, systemic enzymes help to reduce
local pain and regional swelling and gradually
improve joint function. The reason systemic
enzymes are effective is that their
unique combination simultaneously functions
at different levels in the immune
system. By reducing the amounts of proinflammatory immune complexes in the boy,
systemic enzymes empower the body to heal
itself.
