Prozyme is a plant-derived enzyme supplement which replaces the natural enzymes that are lost in food processing. It helps digest protein, fat, sugar, starch, and fiber. It enhances the absorption of zinc, selenium, vitamin B6, and linoleic acid. Prozyme contains various enzymes including proteases to break down proteins into amino acids, cellulases to break down digestible fiber, amylases to break down carbohydrates into sugar, and lipases to break down fat into essential fatty acids. Because of the increase in digestibility of the food, amounts fed may need to be decreased to prevent weight gain.
Prozyme may increase the absorption of certain medications such as potassium bromide and phenobarbital.
According to the manufacturer, Prozyme increases absorption of the nutrients in the food. Prozyme works in the body once the food is ingested (after mixing the Prozyme with the food; it is not necessary to let the mixture stand before feeding). By increasing the nutrient intake from the diet, Prozyme is reported to help with immune and digestive disorders, poor coat and excessive shedding, skin problems, joint disorders, weight problems, allergies, lethargy, bloating, flatulence, and coprophagia (stool eating).
Prozyme is resistant to stomach acid.
Prozyme

Increase your dog's ability to absorb nutrients from food
|
| * |
May help decrease overall food intake |
Replace the natural enzymes that are lost in food processing and help your pet digest more nutrients. You may be able to decrease the amount of food you give your pet by 20-30% by improving your pet's ability to absorb the necessary vitamins and minerals he needs from food eaten.
Prozyme is recommended for pets with problems absorbing nutrients, such as aging pets.
Store Prozyme in a cool, dry place away from excessive heat. (Do not use Prozyme with hot gravy, hot food, etc.)
Prozyme is available in a 200 gram bottle which treats 160 cups of food, and a 454 gram bottle which treats 363 cups of food.

Prozyme for Cats
|
| * |
Increase your cat's ability to absorb nutrients from food
|
| * |
May help decrease overall food intake |
Replace the natural enzymes that are lost in cat food processing. Enzymes help improve your cat's ability to absorb the necessary vitamins and minerals it needs from food eaten.
Prozyme is a combination of four highly concentrated and purified natural plant-derived enzymes (lipases, amylases, proteases, and cellulases). All ingredients are of human grade quality. Not a drug and will not interfere with any medication or therapy.
Enzymes are really the key to good cat nutrition. Even if you fed your pets huge amounts of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats and protein, without the enzymes to break them down, most would pass right through the digestive system and not get absorbed. Prozyme helps you get the most out of your pet food.

Frequently Asked Questions
|
Q.
|
What is Prozyme?
|
|
A.
|
Prozyme is an all natural combination of four highly purified enzymes in a palatable powder form. Unlike other enzyme formulas, the enzymes in Prozyme are entirely from plants. Prozyme is not a drug.
|
|
Q.
|
What does Prozyme do?
|
|
A.
|
Prozyme initiates the bioconversion of nutrients in animal (in vitro) and then continues this bioconversion in the gastro intestinal tract (in vitro). Thus, a higher bioavailability of food nutrients is the result.
|
|
Q.
|
What should I use Prozyme for?
|
|
A.
|
Use Prozyme as a food supplement to enhance the caloric and nutritional efficiency of food.
|
|
Q.
|
Is Prozyme safe for my pet?
|
|
A.
|
All Ingredients in Prozyme are human-food-grade.
|
|
Q.
|
How do I administer Prozyme?
|
|
A.
|
For best results use Prozyme with every feeding for the life of your pet. Begin by providing a small quantity and gradually increase the dosage to the appropriate amount. Dosages should be doubled for pets eight years old or older.
|
|
Q.
|
How much Prozyme do I need for my pet?
|
|
A.
|
Prozyme is available in a 200 gram bottle which treats 160 cups of food, and a 454 gram bottle which treats 363 cups of food.
|
|
Q.
|
How long will it take to work?
|
|
A.
|
If Prozyme is taken consistently and properly, allow eight weeks to start seeing results.
|
|
Q.
|
Once I see good results, should I continue to use the Prozyme?
|
|
A.
|
Yes! Pet food is enzyme poor. This is due to processing cooking. Without these enzymes, proper digestion usually does not occur. Use Prozyme for every feeding. Prozyme replaces these destroyed enzymes and allows proper digestion to occur.
|
|
Q.
|
Can Prozyme help work with pets of any age or with other health concerns?
|
|
A.
|
The enhanced bioavailability of the vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids is beneficial for both young and older pets, pets who are not growing properly, and those suffering from skin problems, poor coat, excessive shedding, joint problems, immune, and digestive disorders, allergies, flatulence and other condition that will benefit from increased nutritional absorption.
|
|
Q.
|
Will it make my pet gain weight?
|
|
A.
|
Because of the increase in digestibility of the food, you may need to decrease your pet's food intake to avoid weight gain. You can reduce the amount of food given by 20 to 35% if your pet does not need to gain weight.

"My veterinarian recommended this product after my 12-year-old shorthair was having problems with gas and foul stools. After a couple weeks on Prozyme, his condition got a lot better. I want to share with you what a great product this is!" ~DFS Staff Tester Rhinelander, WI
