What are probiotics?
 Probiotics are living microflora or beneficial bacterial, that play a critical role in maintaining good health by supporting healthy microbial balance in the gut.
Probiotics have the potential to:
- Support optimal intestinal comfort & bowel function
- Promote good digestion
- Bolster immune system function
- Sustain the body's response to harmful bacteria
- Maintain healthy elimination and regularity
Probiotics are also important because they can synthesize certain vitamins and short-chain fatty acids to support a healthy intestinal lining and bolster immunity. When your intestinal lining is occupied by healthy beneficial flora, it deprives unwelcome organisms of space and nutrients.
Healthy people usually have a ratio of approximately 85% good and 15% potentially harmful organisims in their intestinal tract. In some cases, however, even those who appear to be well might have an unfavorable ratio as a result of daily exposure to environmental toxins and modern lifestyle.
What can cause a digestive tract imbalance?
- Taking antibiotics
- Drinking chlorinated water or bathing in chlorinated water
- Consuming processed foods
- Large scale use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals
- Consuming excessive sugar

Ω-Zyme™ ULTRA
 The ultimate digestive enzyme formula, supporting more complete digestion of food for gastrointestinal health, regularity and normal bowel function.* Features a high potency, comprehensive formula that delivers highly active levels of a broad spectrum of 21 digestive enzymes.* >>More
What are digestive enzymes?
 Enzymes are living catalysts, and the key to good digestion. Present in all whole live foods but destroyed by cooking and processing, digestive enzymes break down foods into nutrients that your body can then readily assimilate.
Enzymes also help to maintain the body’s tissues, orchestrate its functions and digest food. There are three kinds of enzymes:
Metabolic Enzymes — Spark many of the reactions inside cells, enabling our organs, tissues, and cells to work properly.*
Food Enzymes — Supplied by what we eat, they help break down food before our digestive enzymes are called upon. The majority of food enzymes are destroyed at temperatures above 118ºF, so nearly all cooked and processed foods are devoid of them.*
Indigenous Digestive Enzymes — Secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine, they break down the nutrients in the foods we eat that have not already been broken down by food enzymes.*
A great way to get the enzymes you need is to consume a diet high in "live" raw and fermented foods, and/or to supplement your diet with digestive enzymes such as those found in Ω-Zyme™.
What makes Ω-Zyme™ different from other enzyme supplements?
Ω-Zyme™ is one of the most complex and comprehensive digestive enzyme products available with 20 different digestive enzymes. Plus, it is formulated with one of the highest activity levels for individual enzymes.
