The term “Phase I and Phase II Optimizers” refers to those substances with the ability to simultaneously influence and “optimize” the activity of certain Phase 1 and Phase 2 enzyme systems. Optimizers generally up regulate or induce Phase 2 enzymes; however, optimizing Phase 1 enzymes may mean down-regulating them when they are too high without totally inhibiting them. Phase I and Phase II Optimizers may further balance the phases of detoxification by acting as antioxidants and binding dangerous free radicals formed between the two phases.

Supporting the body's detoxification processes is a key step toward optimal health.* Exposure to heavy metals, polluted air, cleaning solvents, OTC or prescription drugs, alcohol, pesticides, nicotine, artificial food additives and preservatives, hormones, cosmetics, and caffeine along with harmful chemicals generated naturally by normal biochemical processes, challenge the body's ability to neutralize, eliminate and detoxify.

Prozyme Blend chewable contains lipase enzymes to help digest and assimilate fats, protease and bromelain for the digestion of proteins into smaller units (peptides and amino acids), amylase to breakdown carbohydrates, and cellulose for the digestion of fiber and lactase for breaking down lactose (the sugar found in milk that can be highly allergenic when not broken down).

The potential of antioxidants to reduce the cellular damage induced by ionizing radiation has been studied in animal models for more than 50 years. The application of antioxidant radioprotectors to various human exposure situations has not been extensive although it is generally accepted that endogenous antioxidants, such as cellular non-protein thiols and antioxidant enzymes, provide some degree of protection.

Radiation damage to cells in the body can happen after a person receives radiation therapy to treat cancer. It can also happen if a person is exposed to radiation through x-ray imaging, nuclear power, or fallout from nuclear weapons. If severe enough, radiation damage may cause cancer, birth defects, and other serious health problems.

MONDAY, Feb. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Obese men face a dramatically higher risk of dying from a heart attack, regardless of whether or not they have other known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, a new study reveals. The finding stems from an analysis involving roughly 6,000 middle-aged men, and it suggests that there is something about carrying around excess weight that contributes to heart disease independent of risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and arterial disease.

Avoiding all food that contain wheat, rye, and barley gluten. Bread, bagels, pasta, pizza, malted breakfast cereals, and crackers are all examples of foods that contain gluten. Although some foods are labeled wheat-free, this does not mean that they are gluten- free.

The study of appetite regulation is primarily concerned with attempting to find a way to alter the inherent biological drive to eat. For several decades, researchers have been trying to pinpoint a primary mechanism within the body governing hunger and satiety in order to ascertain whether the selection of food has any specific physiological origin, or if there is even an overall caloric homeostasis in man. The outcome of work to date indicates that hunger is not the result of one single factor, but is instead elicited by many factors involved in a final common pathway.
