Frequently Asked
Questions
How would I choose an enzyme blend?
Not all enzyme blends are created equal. There are only a handful of enzyme formulations that actually work. The formulators of NEPRINOL® AFD have created some of the finest enzyme products available. You should know that enzyme potency is measured by activity levels. When enzymes are added to liquid they become active. Simply adding more mg of enzymes does not necessarily make the product stronger. Activity levels are measured by "FU's" or fibrinolytic units. With most enzyme blends, typical serving size is 1-2 capsules, providing an average of 1,000 - 2,000 FU's. NEPRINOL® AFD provides 15,000 FU's per serving, yielding 133% higher activity levels. When choosing an enzyme look carefully for FU's rather than mg per serving.
NEPRINOL® AFD taking enzymes to a new level
NEPRINOL® AFD contains the three main ingredients that you need to reinforce your body's own enzymes. These enzymes are essential for a host of health support issues including inflammatory response. Serrapeptase breaks down fibrin within the body and helps modulate the immune system, Nattokinase improves cardio-vascular health and helps address arterial plaque formation. Finally Co-Q10 is regarded as one of the most potent antioxidants available. Co-Q10 helps fight free radicals.
NEPRINOL® AFD FAQ
Why do I need enzymes?
As we age, enzyme production is radically diminished. These enzymes are needed to maintain a healthy immune system, healthy joints, good circulation and overall balanced reaction to injury. The older we get our need for enzyme production increases while the amount of usable enzymes in our body is gradually depleted. Enzyme deficiency can lead to wide variety of health problems. NEPRINOL®AFD contains 100% vegetable derived enzymes. These enzymes are biochemically more effective than our bodies own natural enzymes. Supplementation with NEPRINOL® AFD along with proper diet and exercise can greatly reduce vulnerability to a wide range of health concerns.
What are "systemic" enzymes?
Systemic enzymes differ greatly from digestive enzymes that do most of their work in the stomach and intestine. NEPRINOL® AFD provides individually enterically coated enzymes. Enterically coated enzymes pass safely through the stomach and digestive tract and are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream in their natural state. Enzymes are completely universal, in that they react differently depending on how they are introduced to the body. Enteric coating allows these enzymes to work systemically or throughout the entire body. NEPRINOL® AFD uses a highly advanced delivery system that ensures delivery of the enzymes to all of your tissue and organs in their most active state.
How does NEPRINOL® AFD work?
NEPRINOL® AFD contains a blend of proteolytic or protein digesting enzymes. Some proteins can be harmful to joints, organs, tissue, and can increase our vulnerability to certain viruses. NEPRINOL® AFD's blend of proteolytic enzymes can emulsify and break down these harmful proteins.
Why NEPRINOL® AFD?
It's remarkable that one product can provide benefit for so many different conditions. By supplementing and replenishing the body's enzymes NEPRINOL® AFD provides one of our most essential and basic biochemical needs. NEPRINOL® AFD has been used by people suffering from: arthritis, joint problems, poor circulation, weak immune systems, sports and work injuries, and much more.
Is NEPRINOL® AFD safe?
No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking systemic enzymes such as NEPRINOL® AFD. Clinical studies have shown that even extremely large doses of these enzymes are not toxic. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, you should consult with your physician before taking NEPRINOL® AFD.
NEPRINOL® AFD is a proprietary combination of Nattokinase, Serratiopeptidase, Rutin, Alma and other proteolytic enzymes specially formulated to assist your body's defense of the damaging effects of fibrin. As fibrin builds up in our bodies, it can cause many unhealthy conditions. NEPRINOL® AFD can help reduce fibrin levels. NEPRINOL® AFD can be used with other dietary supplements.
Why is Neprinol not FDA approved as a drug?
Because these enzymes are harvested through natural sources such as endangered rainforest botanicals, marine, and microbial sources there is no conceivable patent rights to the ingredients. FDA testing is reserved for products that can in most cases be created artificially in laboratories. These discoveries can then be patented and owned by the pharmaceutical companies. Naturally occuring substances rarely posses any side effects and can rarely be protected by patent rights. Thus spending millions of dollars in extensive testing for public safety and health is not required and rarely advisable.
UTERINE FIBROIDS
What are fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are tumours or growths, made up of muscle cells and other tissues that grow within the wall of the uterus (or womb). Although fibroids are sometimes called tumours, they are almost always benign (not cancerous). The medical term for fibroids is uterine leiomyomata.

UTERINE FIBROIDS
What are fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are tumours or growths, made up of muscle cells and other tissues that grow within the wall of the uterus (or womb). Although fibroids are sometimes called tumours, they are almost always benign (not cancerous). The medical term for fibroids is uterine leiomyomata.
Fibroids can grow as a single growth or in clusters (or groups). Their size can vary from small, like an apple seed (or less than one inch), to even larger than a grapefruit, or eight inches across or more.
Why should women know about fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are the most common, benign tumours in women of childbearing age, but no one knows exactly what causes them. They can be frustrating to live with when they cause symptoms. Not all women with fibroids have symptoms, but some have pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. Fibroids also can put pressure on the bladder, causing frequent urination.
Who gets fibroids?
More research is being done to figure out who is at risk for fibroids. But it is known that:
- Most of the time, fibroids grow in women of childbearing age.
- African American women are more likely to get them than women of other racial groups.
- African American women tend to get fibroids at a younger age than do other women.
- Women who are overweight or obese also are at a slightly higher risk for fibroids than women who are not overweight.
- Women who have given birth appear to be at a lower risk for
fibroids.
Where can fibroids grow?
Doctors put fibroids into three groups based on where they grow, such as just underneath the lining of the uterus, in between the muscles of the uterus, or on the outside of the uterus. Most fibroids grow within the wall of the uterus. Some fibroids grow on stalks (called peduncles) that grow out from the surface of the uterus, or into the cavity of the uterus.
What are the symptoms of fibroids?
Most fibroids do not cause any symptoms, but some women with fibroids can have:
- heavy bleeding or painful periods
- bleeding between periods
- feeling of fullness in the pelvic area (lower abdomen)
- urinating often
- pain during sex
- lower back pain
- reproductive problems, such as infertility, having more
than one miscarriage, or having early onset of labor during pregnancy
What causes fibroids?
No one knows for sure what causes fibroids. Researchers have some theories, but most likely, fibroids are the result of many factors interacting with each other. These factors could be hormonal (affected by estrogen levels), genetic (running in families), environmental, or a combination of all three. Because no one knows for sure what causes fibroids, we also don't know what causes them to grow or shrink. For the most part, fibroids stop growing or shrink after menopause. But, this is not true for all women with fibroids.
Can fibroids turn into cancer?
Fibroids are almost always benign, or not cancerous, and they rarely turn into cancer (less than 0.1 percent of cases). Having fibroids does not increase a woman's chances of getting cancer of the uterus.
How do I know for sure that I have fibroids?
Your doctor may find that you have fibroids when you see her or him for a regular pelvic exam to check your uterus, ovaries, and vagina. Often, a doctor will describe how small or how large the fibroids are by comparing their size to the size your uterus would be if you were pregnant. For example, you may be told that your fibroids have made your uterus the size it would be if you were 8 weeks pregnant.
Your doctor can do imaging tests, or tests that create a "picture" of the inside of your body without surgery, in order to confirm that you have fibroids. These tests might include:
- ultrasound - uses sounds waves to produce the picture.
- magnetic resonance imaging or MRI - uses magnets and radio waves to produce the picture.
- x-rays - use a form of radiation to see into the body and produce the picture.
- cat scan or CT - makes many pictures of the body from
different angles to provide a more complete image.
