NICAPUR® VulnaPlex® – Enzyme complex with bromelain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, vitamins and trace elements for the skin

Further product information

NICAPUR® VulnaPlex® is a dietary supplement with a carefully balanced combination of proteolytic enzymes, vitamins, trace elements and selected plant substances to specifically supplement the nutrient supply under increased stress on the skin.

The formulation combines a triple enzyme combination of bromelain, trypsin and chymotrypsin with vitamin C, vitamin D3, zinc and other micronutrients. The formula is supplemented with grape seed extract, rutin and coenzyme Q10.

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. Zinc supports the maintenance of normal skin and has a function in cell division. Vitamin D also plays a role in cell division.

The formulation is lactose-free and contains no colorings or preservatives.

VulnaPlex® – Micronutrients for the skin

The skin forms an important protective barrier against external influences.

Various micronutrients play an important role in the normal renewal and maintenance of the skin.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, while zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and has a function in cell division.

The combination of vitamins, trace elements, enzymes and plant substances supplements the daily diet.

Vitamin C – Important for collagen formation

Vitamin C is required for endogenous collagen formation.

Collagen is an essential structural building block of the skin and connective tissue.

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, bones, cartilage and blood vessels.

In addition, vitamin C supports the normal function of the immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

NICAPUR® VulnaPlex® contains 257 mg of vitamin C per daily dose.

Zinc and vitamin D – Important for cell division

Zinc is an essential trace element that is involved in numerous enzymatic metabolic processes.

It contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, normal protein synthesis and normal DNA synthesis.

Vitamin D supports the normal function of the immune system and has a function in cell division.

The daily dose contains 20 mg of zinc and 5 µg of vitamin D3.

Triple enzyme combination

NICAPUR® VulnaPlex® combines three proteolytic enzymes:

• Bromelain: Plant enzyme complex from pineapple with protein-splitting properties.

• Trypsin: Protein-splitting enzyme that also occurs naturally in the human digestive system.

• Chymotrypsin: Proteolytic enzyme that is also involved in the cleavage of proteins.

The daily dose contains 200 mg of bromelain as well as 20 mg of a trypsin/chymotrypsin combination.

Enzymatic activity is stated in standardized enzyme units.

There is insufficient clinical evidence to support an acceleration of wound healing through the oral intake of these enzymes.

Grape seed extract – Rich in polyphenols

Grape seed extract contains various secondary plant substances, including proanthocyanidins.

NICAPUR® VulnaPlex® provides 100 mg of grape seed extract per daily dose, of which 95 mg are polyphenols.

Polyphenols are plant compounds that are scientifically studied due to their chemical properties.

Rutin – Plant flavonoid

Rutin belongs to the group of flavonoids and occurs naturally in various plants.

It is contained, among others, in buckwheat and certain types of fruit and vegetables.

NICAPUR® VulnaPlex® contains 60 mg of rutin per daily dose.

Coenzyme Q10 – Component of cellular metabolism

Coenzyme Q10 is an endogenous, fat-soluble compound that occurs in the mitochondria.

It plays a role in electron transport within the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

The daily dose contains 30 mg of coenzyme Q10.
