The active ingredient in PENZIM is Penzyme, meaning penetrating enzyme, which is a super-active trypsin proteinase from the North Atlantic cod. Therapeutic research and clinical trials in the hundreds have been conducted on the efficacy of trypsin by the medical community for more than eighty years now, using mainly the poorly active mammalian trypsins from cows or pigs. These have demonstrated the efficacy of trypsin for various medical indications and diseases.

Penzyme has shown promise in various dermatological situations (eczema, psoriasis etc.) as well as towards arthritis, inflammation, acne, wound healing and several other conditions. Penzyme has now been used in two clinical studies on humans, one on UV radiation burns and the other on wound-healing of pressure sores, both with positive results. Others are in the planning phase.

PENZIM ointment increases the wellbeing and comfort of people with the following conditions:

• Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia
• Muscle pains and tendonitis, tenosynovitis, myotenositis
• Phlebitis, lymphangitis, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, angiodermatitis
• Tennis elbow, golf elbow and various sports related injuries
• Swelling and muscle pains due to injuries or accidents, i.e. sprains or broken bones
• Wound healing due to burns, cuts or herpes infections
• Dry or chapped skin , e.g. due to diabetes
• Acne and boils
• Psoriasis, eczema and various dermatological conditions, such as contact eczema
• Fungal infections of the skin, seborrheic eczema or dermatitis
• Warts and cavuses, calluses
• Various inflammatory conditions due to injury and itching of the skin, i.e. insect bites.

PENZIM is produced and sold in two forms, as a gel and a lotion. Both forms are equivalent in activity against all conditions. The lotion is recommended for use on larger areas of the body, while the gel is considered feasible for more local applications. However, we believe that the choice between gel and lotion is primarily a question of individual preference.

PENZIM contains no fragrances or preservatives, which are the main causes of allergies by skin care products.

Gel: Water, glycerine, penzyme (purified enzymes from codfish), sorbitol, ethanol (less than 1%), carbomer , trometamol, chitosan.

Lotion: Glycerine, water, penzyme (purified enzymes from codfish), sorbitol, ethanol (less than 1%), calcium, trometamol, chitosan.

Applications

Penzyme has shown promise in various dermatological situations (eczema, psoriasis etc.) as well as towards arthritis, inflammation, acne, wound-healing and many other conditions.

Penzim is applied to the affected area in the desired quantity. Penzim can be applied in several times consecutively when first being used, especially in cases of severe swelling or pain, or other severe conditions. Otherwise Penzim should be used once or twice a day, or more often if needed. It is important to continue regular treatment and show patience and endurance.

Penzim is a mild and natural treatment that may need a while to deliver its beneficial results, in particular in the case of psoriasis.

Caution: In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. If irritation develops discontinue use. PENZIM is not intended to be ingested, but it is perfectly safe.
