What is Neprinol?
Neprinol is a proprietary combination of serrapeptase, nattokinase, protease, lipase, bromelain, papain, rutin, amla, and other proteolytic enzymes that are specially formulated to support healthy fibrin levels. Neprinol has been used to support immune and circulatory health, as well as maintain a healthy inflammatory response to everyday activity.
What are enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins (or protein-based molecules) that act as catalysts in biochemical reactions. Every enzyme has a specific reactant known as a substrate, which can be thought of like a lock and a key. Only a specific enzyme (or key) will react (or unlock) its substrate. This is the reason why enzymes are unable to break down necessary and vital proteins, as they only react with certain harmful proteins in the body.
What are systemic enzymes?
When enzymes are introduced into the bloodstream, they work systemically, or throughout the entire body. Taking enzymes on an empty stomach allows them to work systemically since they will bypass the upper digestive process and enter the bloodstream through the small intestine. Systemic enzymes are similar to digestive enzymes, though certain enzymes are better designed for systemic activity as opposed to digestion due to the materials they react with, such as serrapeptase and nattokinase. These two enzymes are very efficient with the breakdown of a particular substance known as fibrin.
What is fibrin?
Fibrin is a protein substance naturally formed in the human body. It plays a significant role in our health and general well-being. Fibrin is responsible for scar tissue formation and is produced in reaction to injury. Our bodies naturally maintain healthy fibrin levels with enzymes (principally plasmin) whose role is to attack and break down any excessive fibrin. As fibrin builds up in the body, it can cause many unhealthy conditions.
Why Neprinol?
As we age, our natural enzyme production decreases while the need for these enzymes is of increasing importance. Supplementing these valuable enzymes can combat enzyme deficiencies that can lead to a wide variety of health concerns. Healthy levels of these enzymes can assist the body in maintaining a healthy immune system, healthy joints, proper circulation, and an overall balanced reaction to overexertion.
How does Neprinol work?
By supplementing and replenishing the body's diminishing enzymes, Neprinol provides one of our most essential and basic biochemical needs. It supplements the body's natural fibrinolytic enzyme levels, thereby helping to maintain healthy fibrin levels.
Is Neprinol enteric coated?
Enteric coatings are designed to protect enzymes and other supplements from stomach acid. Plastic-like chemicals known as phthalates are often used in this coating process. Phthalates are actually banned in children's toys in Europe and Mexico, so why would we ever include these in our formulas?
Arthur Andrew Medical has instead developed an all-natural, chemical-free acid armor capsule. These capsules are comprised of an extra thick layer of cellulose (vegetable capsules) with a micro threaded locking mechanism to prevent leaking. Acid armor capsules have been designed to delay the release of the capsule's contents for up to an hour, without the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
Is Neprinol safe?
Yes. There have been no reports of any serious or adverse side effects from taking systemic enzymes such as Neprinol. If you are taking a prescription blood-thinning medication (not including daily aspirin), you should consult with your physician before taking Neprinol.
When is the best time to take Neprinol?
For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal.
Can I take Neprinol with other supplements?
Neprinol can be used safely with other dietary supplements.
How long does it take for Neprinol to work?
Although every person is different, some have reported feeling the effects of systemic enzymes in as little as 45 minutes. For therapeutic regimens, the progression may be slow for some and quicker for others. Typically, supplementing the product for a minimum of one month's time is recommended, with the best results occurring anywhere from one to three months thereafter.
Is Neprinol Kosher?
The formula is Kosher, and a copy of the certification is available by request.
Is Neprinol vegetarian?
The Neprinol formula is vegetarian in accordance with the guidelines of the American Vegetarian Association.
Is Neprinol non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism)?
Yes, Neprinol is non-GMO. The microorganisms used to produce this enzyme product are not genetically engineered organisms as defined by the National Organic Standards Board. Genetically engineered is defined as follows: Made with techniques that alter the molecular or cellular biology of an organism by means that are not possible under natural conditions or processes. Genetic engineering includes recombinant DNA, cell fusion, micro-and macro-encapsulation, gene deletion and doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the position of genes. It shall not include breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in-vitro fertilization, and tissue culture.
Further testing is also conducted to determine whether any common GMO material is present in the product. A copy of the lab analysis can be DOWNLOADED HERE.
