Wobenzym

A nutritional supplement in the United States. Enzyme preparations like Wobe-Mugos and Wobenzym work by increasing the body's supply of enzymes. Like all bodily functions, the immune system requires enzymes to work properly. With advancing age, or in certain diseases, the body loses its ability to produce the requisite amounts of enzymes to maintain optimal immune system balance. Oral enzymes potentially fill this deficit, enhancing the immune system.

The enzymes in Wobenzym break down select harmful proteins that irritate joints and slow recovery from injuries. The systemic enzymes in Wobenzym split other proteins and break them down into smaller fragments. The body uses these naturally-occurring enzymes to remove circulating immune complexes from the blood and other harmful proteins to deliver nutrients and oxygen to various tissues more efficiently.

Wobenzym's history dates back to the early 1950's when medical doctor Max Wolf, cancer researcher Dr. Helen Benitez and German biologist Karl Ransberger Ph.D., formed a research team at Columbia University. Their goal was to find a natural cure for cancer using systemic enzymes. When they began testing their enzyme formula they learned patients complained less about aches and pains and the formula had other beneficial effects on their health. In 1959, Ransberger brought the formula to Germany and since then hundreds of M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s have pioneered the medical use of systemic enzymes at MUCOS. With the passing of Ransberger in June 2001, Naturally Vitamins continues his legacy with the signing of the contract with MUCOS.
