SerraPeptase - We have doubled the SerraPeptase content per dose to 40,000IU to give a greater anti-inflammatory effect while clearing even more inflamed dead tissue. This means that even the worst inflammatory problems may be brought under control with BlockBuster®.
Serrapeptase the Enzyme (from the Book The Miracle Enzyme) Serrapeptase is processed commercially in the laboratory through fermentation. It was originally found in the silkworm where it is naturally present in its intestine. This immunologically active enzyme is completely bound to the alpha 2 macroglobulin in biological fluids. Histologic studies reveal powerful anti-inflammatory effects of this naturally occurring enzyme. The silkworm has a special relationship with the Serratia E15 microorganisms in its intestines. The enzymes secreted by the bacteria in silkworm intestines have the ability to dissolve avital tissue, but have no detrimental effect on the host’s living cells. Thus by dissolving the silkworm’s protective cocoon (avital tissue), the winged creature is able to emerge and fly away. Wide Range of Applications The discovery of this unique biological phenomenon led researchers to study clinical applications of the Serrapeptase enzyme in man. In addition to its widespread use in:

• Arthritis
• Fibrocystic breast disease
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Atherosclerosis.

Researchers in Germany have used Serrapeptase for atherosclerosis to digest atherosclerotic plaque without harming the healthy cells lining the arterial wall.
Chronic Inflammation
Today, researchers consider atherosclerosis an inflammatory condition (similar to many other degenerative diseases whose cause is identified as chronic inflammation). Some immunologists are even categorizing atherosclerosis as a benign tumour. Hardening and narrowing of the arterial wall is a cumulative result of microscopic trauma; inflammation occurs in the presence of oxidized lipids. Serrapeptase doesn’t interfere with the synthesis of cholesterol in the body, but acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps clear avital tissue from the arterial wall. It is important to note that cholesterol in its pure state is an antioxidant and a necessary component of the major organ and hormonal systems in the body. The use of medications, which block cholesterol biosynthesis, may eventually damage the liver and compromise anti-oxidant status of the eyes, lungs and other soft tissues.

Grape Seed Extract is rich in polyphenols, a compound known to be high in antioxidants. Studies have shown OPC to be more powerful than vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene as antioxidants.

Procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs) are also known as leukocyanidins or pycnogenols and are complexes of flavinoids (polyphenols) which usually come from the skin of the grape seed, although they may come from Landes pine bark, the bracts of a lime tree or the leaves of a hazel nut tree. PCOs will help increase intracellular vitamin C level, decrease capillary permeability and fragility, scavenge oxidants and free radicals, and uniquely bind to collagen structures in such a manner as will allow the collagen structure to remain protected from destructive forces.

This quality of vitamin is known as vitamin 'P'. Since collagen is the protein responsible for maintaining the integrity of the 'ground substance' as well as the tendons, ligaments and cartilage. It is also the support for the dermis and blood vessels. PCOs can be highly effective for maintaining this matrix system within the body. It will

crosslink collagen fibers, thus reinforcing the connective tissues prevent free radical damage with its potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging action, inhibit enzymatic cleavage of collagen by enzymes secreted by white blood cells during inflammation and by microbes during infection, prevent the release and synthesis of inflammation promoting compounds such as histamine, serine proteases, prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Collagen is vital for preventing bruising and varicose veins. Detailed toxicology studies have shown grape seed extract to be devoid of toxicity and well tolerated.

Pycnogenol® has been studied and tested in Europe for over thirty years and has been found help protection from over 80 different diseases, including heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and many more. It is absorbed into the body rapidly (usually within 20 minutes). Pycnogenol is an unmatched antioxidant. It picks up free radicals which can damage the molecular structure of human tissue. Studies have indicated that Pycnogenol® has been successfully used for a decade for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders in both children and adults.
Studies show that taking this antioxidant (Pycnogenol) has helped reduce dependence on medication usually taken to help control blood pressure.
Researchers have found high concentrations of polyphenols have many healthy effects such as lowering cholesterol levels and improving circulation.
After a 12-week treatment study, those who received antioxidants including pycnogenol along with blood pressure medication were better able to keep their blood pressure within normal level with a significantly lower dose. According to researcher Peter Rohdewald, PhD, "they produced less of the substance that constricts the arteries and more of the substances that dilate the arteries."
