Description
Take Control of Your Heart Health.
Heart disease claims an American life every 34 seconds, making heart disease the leading cause of death in the United States. Not only men, but also one out of every two women are affected by heart disease and stroke. According to the American Heart Association, misperceptions about the risks of cardiovascular disease for women still exist, even though 50 percent of people with heart disease today are women, and more women than men die of stroke. After menopause, women are more likely to have heart attacks than men.
Because of today's standard of American fast-food diets and poor lifestyle habits, many people have high cholesterol and hypertension and suffer from circulatory disorders. People with excessive body fat are more likely to develop heart disease and stroke, even if they have no other risk factors. Obesity increases the strain on the heart, which contributes to coronary heart disease and can also make diabetes more likely to develop.
People in many other countries have somehow managed to maintain healthier hearts naturally. One reason may be the enzymes in their diet.
Nattokinase and Cardiovascular Health:
Experts credit much of Japan's reputation for the lowest heart disease rate to nattokinase, an enzyme in the fermented soy-based cheese called natto. Although a Japanese staple for over 2,000 years, the sticky, odorous cheese is, needless to say, an acquired taste. Fortunately the advantage is in the enzyme, now available in Rutozym.
Hiroyuki Sumi, MD, a researcher of the Japan Ministry of Education, discovered the enzyme and its remarkable benefits while searching for a natural way to break down excess fibrin in the blood, a major cause of heart disease, stroke, senility and even sudden death. Pleased with how successfully it dissolved fibrin and improved blood flow, Sumi (affectionately known as "Dr. Natto") gave nattokinase its name.
Rutozym:
In the 1980's when the story of systemic enzyme therapy was well underway, scientists invited Dr. Karl Ransberger, founder of the enzyme formula Wobenzym, to Japan to present his discoveries in enzyme research. The country's low rate of heart attacks and its dietary link to natto intrigued Dr. Ransberger. Eager to investigate its potential use in alternative healthcare, he carried several pounds of natto home to Europe. After years of testing, his research confirmed that nattokinase did, in fact, improve blood flow by removing cross-linked fibrin from the blood stream.
Based on his nearly five decades of experience with the proteolytic (protein-splitting) enzymes in Wobenzym, Dr. Ransberger knew that an enzyme mixture would prove even more effective than a single enzyme formula. So, to the nattokinase he added two of the enzymes in Wobenzym known to normalize inflammation. Then he increased its total effect with a proprietary flavonoid complex. As a result, the formula not only improved blood flow, it strengthened the integrity of blood vessels and helped manage the body's systemic inflammatory response, promoting better overall health. Dr. Ransberger teamed up with Naturally Vitamins to further develop, test and perfect the Rutozym formula.
Today, Dr. Ransberger's legacy loved on through Naturally Vitamins' continuing research on systemic enzyme therapies. Most recently, Naturally began a 2003 clinical trial in Chicago to evaluate the benefits of Rutozym in heart patients. In cooperation with the leading manufacturer of Nattokinase in Japan, the trial will examine the benefits of Rutozym on blood viscosity (thickness) and blood pressure. On completion, the results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
How Rutozym Works:
Rutozym works by reinforcing your body's own enzymes. As the building blocks of life, enzymes make every chemical action in the body possible. Though you are born with thousands of enzymes, as time goes by your supply diminishes. Scientific research shows that replenishing your natural supply with systemic enzymes can support your body's immune functions and healing processes.
Rutozym is a plant-based systemic enzyme formula containing nattokinase. But it also contains other proteolytic enzymes and ingredients carefully blended to improve heart health and enhance your body's innate ability to heal. Rutozym contains the proteolytic enzymes bromelain (from pineapple) and papain (from papaya) known to effectively rebalance the body's inflammatory response. Rutozym also contains rutin to strengthen capillaries and other connective tissue, and white willow bark, which is often called "nature's aspirin."
Trust the Enzyme Experts
Rutozym is manufactured by Naturally Vitamins, the company that brings you Wobenzym, the original enzyme formula. Other companies may lack the technical know-how necessary to stabilize their enzymes long enough to have any activity left by the time you take them. With our more than 50-year history as the pioneers in enzyme research, we've perfected the technology to produce safe and wholesome nutritional supplements that keep their biological potency. For optimal results, you can confidently rely on Rutozym.

Directions
Take two tablets, two times daily (approximately 30 minutes after meals) or as recommended by your physician. Preferably, the tablets should be taken with water, and they must be swallowed whole in order to maintain the integrity of the enteric coating.
Cautions
If you are taking blood-thinning medication, you should consult your physician before taking Rutozym.
Additional Information
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are enzymes? Enzymes are proteins necessary for every bodily function, from nerve impulses to hormone regulation. They renew depleted cells, change nutrients into energy and remove waste products. Without enzymes, even vitamins and minerals cannot play their roles effectively.
What does "enteric coated" mean? Rutozym tablets are protected with an enteric coating, allowing the tablets to pass through the stomach to the intestines in their original, intact form, where they are absorbed into the bloodstream to begin their work.
How do I take Rutozym? To maximize its benefits, take two tablets, two times daily (approximately 30 minutes after meals) or as recommended by your physician. Preferably, the tablets should be taken with water, and they must be swallowed whole in order to maintain the integrity of the enteric coating.
Does Rutozym have any side effects? Rutozym is one of the few nutritional supplements whose ingredients are approved by the USDA. Clinical studies have found that Rutozym has no side effects. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, you should consult your physician before taking Rutozym.
