Originally marketed as Exclzyme®, it has been commercially available for over 20 years. Its loyal use by companies, health practitioners and consumers have made it the #1 non-animal derived systemic formulation. Excellacor contains serrapeptase, a concentrated, natural proteolytic enzyme supplement. But we don’t use just any serrapeptase. Our ingredient, Peptizyme SP® EN, is specially formulated with an acid-resistant polymer which helps protect the delicate enzyme from the acidic conditions of the stomach, allowing delivery of significantly more activity to the small intestine, maximizing efficacy. What is Serrapeptase? Serrapeptase—also known as serratiopeptidase—is an enzyme belonging to the serine protease class. As a protease, it breaks down proteins into smaller components called amino acids. Serrapeptase was originally discovered in the digestive tract of silkworms in the 1960s. It is often called the “butterfly enzyme” because its strong fibrinolytic activity enabled the silkworm to dissolve its tough, fibrous cocoon when it was ready to emerge. This same fibrinolytic activity was identified to support human cardiovascular and inflammatory systems and has been consumed by humans for decades. Excellacor’s Other Systemic Enzymes In addition to serrapeptase, Excellacor contains other powerful systemic proteases which help break down proteins and amino acid chains, supporting healthy inflammatory and immune responses and promoting healthy fibrin metabolism, circulation, platelet and cardiovascular functions and total body support.* Why Take Fibrinolytic Enzymes? Imagine you scrape your knee – your blood immediately clots, and your body makes a scaffolding out of fibrin (a thread-like protein) to hold the clot in place. This acts as a natural bandage as the body heals. Your body uses fibrin to repair internal injuries too. But your body also has to take down the fibrin scaffolding (a process called fibrinolysis). Your body naturally does this with an enzyme called plasmin, which breaks down the fibrin into parts the body can process. Healthy fibrinolysis is critical to manage pain, scarring and potential blood clots. Fibrinolytic enzymes are proteases that break down the tough strings of fibrin protein. Supplementing with fibrinolytic enzymes can help your body maintain healthy fibrin metabolism.* Why Choose Excellacor Excellacor’s unique proprietary formula and efficacy-maximizing acid-resistant polymer application make it the most potent blend on the market to naturally support normal fibrin metabolism, metabolic health, joint function, healthy inflammatory response, and cardiovascular function.* It is manufactured in ISO 9001:2000 and NSF-GMP certified facilities and undergoes rigorous quality testing. How MAAC Acid-Resistant Polymer Makes AST Enzymes’ Excellacor Uniquely Effective Your stomach is naturally acidic to help digest food. But not every supplement can tolerate that acidity. Some enzymes, like serrapeptase, are powerful but delicate. They need a special delivery system that helps protect them from stomach acid. The cutting-edge, pthalate-free, methyacrylic acid copolymer (MAAC) applied to the Peptizyme SP® EN in Excellacor increases potency by allowing more enzyme activity to pass through the stomach, delivering it into the small intestine, where it is most needed. When evaluated by an independent third-party laboratory, the MAAC-containing Peptizyme SP® EN used in Excellacor was found to have enzyme activity significantly greater than regular serrapeptase after passing through the acidic conditions of the stomach, allowing for much greater efficacy. MAAC is a food-grade compound that has been in use as an enteric coating in the pharmaceutical industry for over 50 years with no reported side effects. In fact, the European Food Safety Authority – an organization that conducted studies which led to the ban of six types of phthalates in personal care products in Europe in 2004 – has deemed MAAC safe for use as a coating agent in food supplements. As a science-first company, AST Enzymes uses acid-resistant Peptizyme SP® EN because it delivers the best enzymes in their best form. What Isn’t Inside Excellacor Excellacor is free of pesticides, chemicals, preservatives, animal derivatives, dairy, yeast, fish or shellfish, peanuts, and tree nuts. All individual enzymes are kosher-certified ingredients, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Excellacor is manufactured in the USA in NSF-certified facilities that follow cGMP guidelines, for the highest quality products.
