Helps break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins with 10X the strength.
-
Bio-Zyme systemic enzymes provides the highest-potency pancreatic enzyme complex available and is the most similar to the body’s natural enzymes.
-
While other pancreatin products are often diluted with salt or lactose, Bio-Zyme contains full-strength, undiluted pancreatic extract with 10X’s the strength for optimum health benefits.
-
Most similar to the body's natural enzymes
Benefits of Enzymes:
-
Given just before or with a meal, Bio-Zyme helps reduce gas, bloating and aids digestion and absorption of nutrients. Digestive enzyme production diminishes with age and in certain physical conditions such as pancreatitis.
-
Given with meals may assist in eliminating hairball problems for cats.
-
Given between meals, Bio-Zyme helps reduce inflammation from injuries, surgery or chronic joint stiffness and may aid joint health.
-
Bio-Zyme has been the subject of a published clinical trial for the relief of muscle pain associated with exercise and over exertion.
Enzymes are well known for their support of healthy digestion.*
Enzymes are amazing - they can ease occasional heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, constipation, loose stools and cramping.* But, our bodies tend to produce fewer enzymes as we get older. Supplementing can make a big difference.
Enzymes also benefit other body systems, too.*
They work with your body to promote clear, healthy skin and relieve occasional muscle pain, fatigue and stiffness associated with exercise and overuse.*
Bio-Zyme helps break down foods with 10 times the strength.*
Bio-Zyme® is formulated to deliver 10 times more digestive power than the minimum specified by the United States Pharmacopeia.* It's no ordinary enzyme supplement.
Bio-Zyme helps digest a variety of foods.*
Bio-Zyme®'s combination of pancreatic and plant-based enzymes are most similar to the body's own natural enzymes. They are especially effective for digesting protein, fat, carbohydrates and fiber, and help relieve occasional gas and bloating.*
It also supports your body's natural anti-inflammatory response.*
Given between meals, these enzymes relieve occasional inflammation due to exercise or overuse and support deep immune health.*

Dosage Instructions
Cats: 1/4 to 1/2 tablet
Dogs
Up to 25 lbs: 1/2 tablet
25 to 50 lbs: 1 tablet
50 to 100 lbs: 1 1/2 tablet
Over 100 lbs: 2 tablets
Give with each meal for optimal digestion (can be crushed and mixed with food) or between meals (with a treat) for aid in reducing inflamation systemically.
Please Note
- Dosage instructions on the bottle are for human use. Please use the dosage instructions above for use with dogs and cats.
- Not recommended for pets with severe liver or kidney dysfunction.
- Consult a veterinarian before giving on an empty stomach to a pet on anticoagulant or blood pressure medications as systemic enzymes may have natural blood-thinning properties.
A few things to keep in mind when using nutritional supplements
- Nutritional supplements take time to build in the system, you may not see immediate results. It can take from several days up to a week or more to know if a supplement is effective, and the speed of results will depend upon the severity of the issue being treated and the overall vitality of the animal.
- Suggested dosages may need to be adjusted depending on the animal’s response. If vomiting, diarrhea or other signs of intolerance occur the remedy should be stopped for two days, and then half the original dose can be administered to see if the lower dose can be tolerated.
- Begin only one supplement, remedy or medication of any kind at a time. Do not add another remedy until you have established if there is a response or there are signs of intolerance. (Unless you are working with a holistic veterinarian familiar with the remedies prescribed).
- Supplements and natural remedies work best on an animal whose system is given the best possible conditions for health and healing, including the healthiest and freshest diet possible along with proper nutritional and digestive supplements such as digestive enzymes, essential fatty acids and adequate levels of essential vitamins and minerals.
- Check with a knowledgeable veterinarian if your companion is on any conventional medications that the nutritional supplement could interact with.
Please keep in mind that response to nutritional supplements varies by individual. If your pet's symptoms worsen or change in any way that concerns you, discontinue use of any supplements and contact your veterinarian.
