Proteolytic enzymes are proteins that break down other proteins. Taken with food they help the body digest protein; taken between meals they are used to support healthy circulation and comfortable, relaxed muscles after exertion.* Intenzyme Forte is a long-standing practitioner formula from Biotics Research that combines several enzymes in one tablet.

What's inside

• Pancreatin (a pancreatic enzyme complex)
• Bromelain from pineapple and papain from papaya
• Lipase and amylase for fat and starch digestion
• 100 tablets per bottle, gluten-free
• Made in a GMP-certified, Texas Department of Health licensed facility with an ISO-certified lab, and tested for purity

How to use

Follow the label or your practitioner's directions. Taken with meals, Intenzyme Forte works as a digestive aid; taken on an empty stomach, it is used for systemic support of muscle recovery and circulation.* Serving size and bottle duration depend on which way you use it.

Why we carry it

Biotics Research is a brand found mainly in practitioner offices, and Intenzyme Forte is one of its best-known products. It gives a broad spectrum of enzymes in one tablet rather than making you choose between a digestive blend and a systemic one, and the company publishes its manufacturing and testing standards.

If you take blood-thinning medication, talk to your doctor before using proteolytic enzymes such as bromelain.
