UTI and Enzyme Therapy in Dogs

Picture
Inflammation of the bladder is involved in UTI.  This can cause episodes of bloody urine with mucus, abdominal cramping, and fever.

The key to effective treatment for UTI  is to suppress the inflammation process, permit healing of the bladder, and relive abdominal pain that might be part of the symptoms.  Enzymes therapy is the best treatment for such conditions.  The advantage of enzyme therapy is that it decreases pain, swelling, and inflammation without the side effects of drugs. 

It is well known that systemic enzyme therapy is used to reduce inflammation, stimulate the immune system, improve circulation, help speed tissue repair, bring nutrients to the damaged area, remove waste products, and improve health.  Enzymes should be used with meals and on an empty stomach as a systemic enzyme therapy.  

Choosing an effective enzyme formula:

Picture

A good enzyme formula must contain a variety of enzymes that deconstruct the different amino acid combinations found in various types of proteins.

•   You want to make sure the enzymes formula that you purchase contains bromelain enzymes.  Bromelain is a protease enzyme found in pineapples.  Research shows bromelain is capable of splitting 30,000 chemical bonds per second and release that same number of amino acids from a protein. 



•  The enzymes formula you chose should include papain enzymes from papayas. Papain will digest most protein substrates more extensively than even pancreatic proteases. 




•  Unlike with digestive enzymes, systemic enzymes must be absorbed into the bloodstream in order to be effective. Therefore, the systemic enzymes formula you buy must be protected in some way with an acid-resistant coating so that the systemic enzymes can pass through the acidic stomach intact when you take them on empty stomach.

Picture
  • The best systemic enzymes will be found in vegetarian capsules, not in tablets that are enterically coated, with added tabletizing ingredients. A great enzyme formula found in capsules should contain microbial enzymes produced to be acid-resistant and which therefore, can resist the low pH of the stomach and pass onto the small intestine to do their work. 



  • Systemic enzymes need helpers in order to function optimally. These helpers are called cofactors and coenzymes and include vitamins and minerals.  Therefore, when choosing a systemic enzymes formula, chose a formula that has an organic food rich in vitamins and minerals such as organic microalgae. The microalgae maximizes the enzyme's activity.
