NICAPUR® N-Zym® forte – Proteolytic enzymes bromelain, papain, trypsin/chymotrypsin, vitamin C, zinc, selenium and quercetin

Further product information

NICAPUR® N-Zym® forte combines four protein-splitting enzymes with selected vitamins, trace elements, and the plant flavonoid quercetin.

The formulation contains bromelain from pineapple, papain from papaya, as well as trypsin and chymotrypsin. These enzymes have proteolytic properties and can break down proteins into smaller components.

The enzyme combination is supplemented with vitamin C, zinc, and selenium, which contribute to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

The special capsule shell is designed for delayed release and is intended to protect the sensitive enzymes during passage through the stomach.

NICAPUR® N-Zym® forte is lactose-free and contains no colorings or preservatives.

Proteolytic enzymes – What are they?

Proteolytic enzymes, also known as proteases, are protein molecules that can break down other proteins into smaller components.

In the human body, proteases perform various tasks, for example in the digestion of dietary proteins.

NICAPUR® N-Zym® forte combines four selected proteolytic enzymes in one formulation.

Bromelain – The enzyme from pineapple

Bromelain refers to a group of protein-splitting enzymes that are mainly obtained from the pineapple plant stem.

Bromelain has proteolytic properties and can break down proteins into smaller peptides.

The recommended daily dose contains 300 mg of bromelain.

Papain – Plant enzyme from papaya

Papain is obtained from the latex of the papaya (Carica papaya).

It also belongs to the proteolytic enzymes and has protein-splitting properties.

The daily dose contains 300 mg of papain.

Trypsin and chymotrypsin – Protein-splitting enzymes

Trypsin and chymotrypsin belong to the group of proteases.

In the human body, these enzymes are normally formed in the pancreas and are involved in the digestion of proteins.

NICAPUR® N-Zym® forte contains 60 mg of a trypsin-chymotrypsin mixture per daily dose.

Special capsule shell with delayed release

The capsule shell of NICAPUR® N-Zym® forte is designed for the delayed release of the contained enzymes.

It is intended to protect the sensitive enzymes during passage through the stomach and support their release in the further digestive tract.

The actual release and enzyme activity depend on the properties of the capsule technology used.

Quercetin – Natural flavonoid

Quercetin belongs to the group of flavonoids and occurs naturally in various plant-based foods.

Natural sources include, among others, onions, apples, berries, and various vegetables.

Quercetin is scientifically investigated regarding its biological properties.

NICAPUR® N-Zym® forte contains 150 mg of quercetin per daily dose.

Vitamin C – For the immune system and collagen formation

Vitamin C is an essential, water-soluble vitamin.

It contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

In addition, vitamin C supports the normal formation of collagen for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, and blood vessels.

The daily dose contains 90 mg of vitamin C.

Zinc and selenium – Essential trace elements

Zinc and selenium contribute to the normal function of the immune system.

Both trace elements also support the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Zinc additionally contributes to normal DNA synthesis, cell division, and the maintenance of normal skin.

Selenium supports normal thyroid function.

Nutrient information per daily dose (3 capsules)

NRV = Nutrient Reference Value according to EU Regulation No. 1169/2011. No nutrient reference values are established for enzymes and quercetin.
