Standard Dose
Timing
Cycle Duration
Evidence LevelEmergingModerate

Mechanism

Odd-chain saturated fatty acid identified as essential. Strengthens cell membranes by integrating into phospholipid bilayer, activates AMPK and PPAR-alpha/delta, and inhibits mTOR. Repairs mitochondrial function. Epidemiologically associated with reduced cardiometabolic disease.

Contraindications

  • None established

Mechanism

Combination of bromelain, papain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatin. Systemic enzyme therapy that degrades circulating immune complexes, reduces fibrin deposition, modulates cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha), and supports recovery from injury, surgery, and chronic inflammation.

Contraindications

  • Bleeding disorders
  • Pre-surgery
  • Severe liver or kidney disease
