Full-Spectrum Digestive Enzyme Formula · 120 or 250 Capsules BiOptimizers MassZymes A multi-enzyme dietary formulation containing five protease enzymes alongside lipase, amylase, lactase, cellulase and other digestive enzymes. Each capsule provides 100,000 HUT of protease activity. Includes AstraZyme™, a proprietary blend of Panax ginseng and Astragalus extracts. Designed to be taken with meals and protein-containing foods. Vegan-friendly capsules. Sold in two pack sizes — 120 capsules or 250 capsules. What It Is MassZymes is a digestive enzyme formulation containing a range of enzymes that act on the major dietary macronutrient categories — proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fibre. Digestive enzymes are proteins that catalyse the breakdown of larger food molecules into smaller absorbable units. The human digestive system produces its own enzymes (in the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine), and additional enzymes can be obtained from raw or fermented foods and through supplementation. MassZymes contains five different protease enzymes with activity at different pH ranges — allowing protein-acting enzymes to function across the acidic stomach environment and the more neutral pH of the small intestine. About the Enzyme Categories Enzyme Category Acts On Protease (5 types) Dietary protein → peptides and amino acids Lipase Dietary fats → fatty acids and glycerol Amylase Starches → simple sugars Lactase Lactose (milk sugar) → glucose and galactose Cellulase Plant cellulose / fibre Refer to the Supplement Facts panel on the product label for the complete enzyme list with stated activity values for each. Enzyme Activity Units Explained Enzyme activity is measured using functional units rather than weight, because enzymes are catalysts — their effect depends on activity level, not mass. The protease activity in MassZymes is measured in HUT (Hemoglobin Unit, Tyrosine basis) — the standard FCC unit for protease activity. Other enzymes in the formula are measured in their respective FCC units (FIP for lipase, DU for amylase, ALU for lactase, CU for cellulase). MassZymes lists 100,000 HUT of protease per capsule. The Supplement Facts panel on the product label states the complete activity profile for each enzyme. About AstraZyme™ AstraZyme™ is a proprietary plant-derived ingredient containing extracts of: Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng) — a plant root used for centuries in traditional East Asian herbal traditions Astragalus membranaceus — a plant root used in traditional Chinese herbal traditions Both ingredients are recognised herbal substances regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia. The quantities used in MassZymes are within the formulation as specified by the manufacturer on the Supplement Facts panel.

Alternative Formulation If your meals are primarily plant-based (limited or no animal protein), BiOptimizers also produces Vegzymes — a related enzyme formulation oriented toward plant-based diets. Different enzyme profile, different intended use case. Good to Know When are digestive enzymes taken? Digestive enzyme supplements are typically taken with meals, so the enzymes are present in the digestive tract at the same time as the food they are intended to act on. Are these enzymes destroyed by stomach acid? Different enzymes are stable at different pH ranges. The five protease types in MassZymes are selected to remain active across the acidic stomach environment and the more neutral pH of the small intestine. The capsule format also provides some buffering effect during initial transit. What is HUT? HUT (Hemoglobin Unit, Tyrosine basis) is the standard Food Chemicals Codex unit for measuring protease enzyme activity. It quantifies the enzyme's ability to break down a standardised protein substrate under specific test conditions. Activity units are the meaningful measurement for enzymes, not weight in milligrams. Is this suitable for vegetarians and vegans? Yes. The enzymes in MassZymes are derived from non-animal sources (microbial fermentation and plant sources), and the capsules are vegan-friendly. Should I take this if I have a medical condition? Do not use this product if you have ulcer or gastritis. If you have any medical condition, are taking prescription medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use.
