By: AST Enzymes AST Enzymes is a true enzyme manufacturer: At AST Enzymes, we understand that attention to detail is important for making powerful and effective enzyme blends. Caution must be taken when formulating with various ingredients to ensure that blends preserve enzyme activity – that’s where the knowledge of an experienced enzyme company is crucial. Considering the vast array of enzymes that exist and their infinite combinations, including with other ingredients, it takes an expert to know which enzymes work together for the best result. What’s more, we are always looking to ensure that our customers receive the highest quality products with the greatest bioavailability. Here are some distinguishing features that set AST Enzyme products above the rest. Enteric coated Serrapeptase Certain websites and distributors have claimed that enzymes do not require a pH resistant coating (known as an enteric coating) to be effective systemically. The fact is that all enzymes have a pH range. At the extremes of this range, whether acid or alkaline, systemic enzymes will denature (become irreversibly inactive). While it is true that most fungal and plant source systemic enzymes exhibit a fairly broad pH range, some bacterial sourced systemic enzymes are less tolerant of low pH. Because we are the actual manufacturer of our enzymes, we test them for both pH and temperature stability. Based on the results of these kinetic studies, we have repeatedly demonstrated that serrapeptase is much less tolerant of a low pH and will begin to lose activity in acidic conditions consistent with the stomach. Therefore, for maximum effectiveness, serrapeptase is best when enteric coated. Assured Quality Enzyme Manufacturing Much concern has been raised about the announcement of a recent voluntary recall of serrapeptase products, sold as Dasen® or Danzen, produced by Takeda Pharmaceuticals Company Limited on February 21, 2011. These products based out of Japan have been distributed by Takeda for almost 40 years and can be found in many systemic enzyme formulas available on the market today. Takeda reports that, since the release of previous efficacy studies in 1995, recent double-blind studies on their serrapeptase products have failed to show a statistically significant reduction in inflammation. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan requested that additional studies be conducted demonstrating the use of serrapeptase in current clinical treatment practices and the efficacy of the product. While Takeda believes their serrapeptase product works, they have decided not to conduct the additional clinical trials required for its continued marketing and recall the product. The recall of these Japanese enzymes does not affect the production or sale of AST Enzyme products and does not reflect upon the activity of our serrapeptase. AST Enzymes is a member of SEB Group, a vertically integrated group of companies manufacturing nutraceutical and industrial enzymes. Our raw materials, including serrapeptase, are manufactured in India, the birthplace of our company and center of the enzyme industry. In fact, SEB Group is the largest manufacturer of serrapeptase worldwide. SEB Group includes 5 large-scale manufacturing facilities, all with in-house laboratories and testing facilities that work to guarantee the same level of activity in every batch of enzymes produced. Our state-of-the- Don’t be fooled by company claims of serrapeptase being from the United States either. Just because a product is manufactured in the USA, does not mean it is the original source of the enzymes.
