Wobenzym N: Frequently Asked Questions About Wobenzym

Wobenzym N are enteric coated tablets with the following indications: Inflammation, functional, non-organic circulatory disorders. Below you will find a collection of frequently asked questions about Wobenzym N, its effect and use. For risks and side effects, read the package leaflet and ask your doctor or pharmacist.

When should you use Wobenzym N?

Wobenzym N is optimized for the treatment of chronic diseases and to ensure immune balance.

When can Wobenzym N be recommended?

  • Venous disorders
  • Circulatory disorders
  • Injuries of all kinds
  • Chronic rheumatic diseases
  • Inflammations in the ENT area
  • Chronic urinary tract infections

Does Wobenzym N also have a prophylactic effect?

Yes, for example, in sports injuries or to strengthen the immune system in general.

How should Wobenzym N dragées be taken?

The tablets should be taken throughout the day, at least half an hour before meals, or even an hour after meals, unchewed with plenty of liquid.

Why are dyes used in the manufacture of Wobenzym N?

Dyes are used for differentiation and drug safety. If the dye is a major problem, then you can wash the coated tablets under running water immediately before taking them without damaging the enteric coating.

What side effects may occur with Wobenzym N therapy?

Somewhat more frequent and soft, but formed stools, increased intestinal gas softening and rarely allergies, which subside immediately after discontinuation of the preparation. In case of diarrhea, the excipient lactose should always be considered. In isolated cases, severe allergic reactions, including anaphylactic shock, may occur, especially in allergic patients.

Why isn’t one coated tablet enough?

Wobenzym N is different from synthetic medications: Enzymes are highly sensitive, natural compounds. To keep them active for months, each individual molecule must be extra “packaged.” This requires a lot of space. In addition, enzyme molecules are up to a hundred times larger than other active ingredients. So you can’t fit very many enzymes into a single coated tablet.

Can the dose be increased?

In fact, sometimes it’s a good idea to do so. Normally, you take two coated tablets three times a day. This is a maintenance dose that provides your organism with the enzymes it needs. In case of more severe complaints, the body often needs more. Without fear of side effects, you can support your immune system and its defenses with the triple dose. For sports injuries, even a shock therapy is recommended in the beginning: 20 or more dragées daily.

Why does Wobenzym N not work overnight?

This is due to the mode of action. After all, the strength of Wobenzym N lies precisely in the fact that it does not “stifle” reactions in the body and simply suppresses symptoms. With Wobenzym N, symptoms diminish when their causes have been successfully addressed. Wobenzym N therefore does not fake a cure, Wobenzym N promotes healing.

Why may symptoms worsen initially?

In chronic diseases, such an initial worsening is typical for many natural healing methods. It shows that you are on the right track and that the enzymes are working: Wobenzym N dissolves disease-causing immune complexes from the tissue. Until the defense system has dealt with them, they swim increased in the blood and can temporarily increase the symptoms.

Does Wobenzym N also work against pain?

Yes and no. Wobenzym N is not a painkiller, because it does not suppress the sensation of pain. And yet, it does relieve pain after some time. This is because enzymes probably cleave the tissue hormones that maintain inflammatory reactions and that irritate the very cell structures responsible for pain (pain receptors). In addition, Wobenzym N cleaves proteins that have migrated into the tissue: swelling goes down and puts less pressure on the pain-receiving structures.

Is it okay to take Wobenzym N for a long time?

In fact, this is often necessary, especially in chronic diseases. However, long-term treatment is also harmless: even with longer periods of intake, no additional negative effects occur.

Can enzyme requirements be met with fresh fruits?

No, because fruits contain too few enzymes. In addition, the enzymes are decomposed in the stomach and thus ineffective.In Wobenzym N, the enzymes in the coated tablets are specially “packed” so that the gastric juices cannot harm them. Thus, the enzymes in Wobenzym N reach the intestine unharmed. There they are then absorbed by the body.

Do enzymes make you slim?

Unfortunately, no. Enzymes neither reduce the appetite, nor do they increase the metabolic rate and thus the calorie consumption. So enzymes do not help healthy people lose weight.
