Arthur Andrew is pleased to announce the arrival of our newest Syntol formulation. Our objective with this product has and continues to be, to provide the most powerful enzyme yeast cleanse and blend of probiotics available. Though we did not feel that there was anything lacking from our currently distributed formula, we did feel that we could easily improve upon it. It has and will always be our goal to provide the most potent and clinically effective products available, and change is often the only way to achieve and maintain that goal. However, you will notice that these particular changes were quite simple. Simply put, we removed everything that did not directly contribute to the product's main objective, such as: Alfalfa, Papaya Juice Powder, Ionic Minerals, and Amla. In their place, we were able to greatly increase the potency of our enzyme yeast cleanse, as well as the probiotic blend (from 3 billion to 3.4 billion CFU's per capsule). We also replaced the FOS prebiotic with inulin, which we found to be a more suitable prebiotic in this formula. Our spore-forming probiotic strain is B. subtilis, which is highly shelf-stable and now the most abundant strain in the formula.
On our new supplement facts panel, you may notice that we have increased the serving size from one to four capsules. This is due to our efforts to comply with the ever-changing labeling guidelines for dietary supplements. Per our dosage instructions on the label, 1 to 4 capsules should be taken three times daily between meals. To comply with labeling guidelines, our serving size listed on the supplement facts panel must be the maximum recommended dosage, therefore four capsules is now listed as opposed to one. We appreciate your business and value you as a client, so we are always open for suggestions on ways we can improve our products and service.
As you may (or may not) know, there are a lot of damaging things being said and written about Neprinol...one of our top-selling products, and what we believe to be the finest enzyme-based formula in the industry. As an authorized distributor of Neprinol since its inception, we do our best to stay informed and proactively seek out the answers to the questions that many of us have. The worst part about the entire situation is that it's confusing for you, the customer, who is trying to make the best purchase decision to assist with your health concerns...and when you're dealing with the high-priced enzyme industry, you want to make sure you're getting the biggest bang for your buck!
The following is an excerpt from a longer letter that we received from Arthur Andrew Medical. It was written by Justin Marsh, the President and Owner of Arthur Andrew Medical, the makers of Neprinol.
"Upon further investigation, we discovered Serracor-NK was being made to directly compete with our enzyme formula, Neprinol. Two of the main ingredients of Neprinol are the enzymes Nattokinase and Serrapeptase, which were only available as a blend marketed under the tradename SebKinase™ when we sourced our ingredients from Specialty Enzymes, in Chino, CA, whose parent company resides in India. The benefit of having these two enzymes mixed together in a blend are of little consequence to the effectiveness of the overall formula, there is just novelty in the fact that the blend is trademarked. It is easy to distinguish the quality of enzymes simply by testing them for activity. We voluntarily quit buying SebKinase™ due to sub-par customer service and inconsistencies in quality from Specialty Enzymes. Specialty Enzymes' products were also overpriced, and President Vic Rathi of Specialty Enzymes insisted on continually raising our prices. Arthur Andrew already empathized with its customers, and refused to extend these price increases to them during a recession. Another quality issue that Arthur Andrew encountered was that Specialty Enzymes was also particularly secretive about their quality control and testing methods. As a customer, we demand to know exactly what we are getting in our products. We found it especially difficult to provide quality control paperwork that is required for customs in many countries like Canada and Australia. Specialty Enzymes complained constantly when asked to fill out simple quality forms, something that our other vendors provide us with regularly.
As a leader in the enzyme industry, Arthur Andrew Medical will continue to strive to improve our products as advances in research and technology are continually being made, and will advise our clients as much to avoid any misrepresentations by competitors."

Spore Germination Technology has Syntol on Top of Probiotic Formulas
"Probiotics" - from the Greek, meaning "for life". The term is medically referred to as a group of "friendly bacteria" or "microflora". Trillions of bacteria and other microbes inhabit our digestive tract making it possible to digest food, absorb nutrients, and fight off infections and disease. Without microflora our entire digestive system would collapse after eating a piece of fruit that hadn't been properly washed. Intestinal microflora make it possible to fight off toxic bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella and pass waste matter efficiently throughout the body and ultimately regulate a healthy immune system. Without sufficient microflora available, the nutrients we consume would virtually pass through us, leaving us starving.
Typical probiotic formulas contain competing strains of bacteria. These strains can be cannibalistic or fight for the same food sources. Simply adding more strains of bacteria to a probiotic does not necessarily make it stronger, and in some cases can actually have the reverse effect. Syntol contains 100% complementary microflora in capsule form. Typical probiotics are sold in tablet form. Tablets are easier and cheaper to manufacture, but are much less absorbable than powdered capsules in the body, and in some cases require refrigeration to survive. Syntol uses spore germination technology, a revolutionary new process that delivers probiotic spores rather than living bacteria. Probiotic spores are dormant life forms that protect the bacteria from acidic conditions, as well as extreme heat and cold. These spores then attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal mucosa and begin to germinate, forming the probiotic bacteria. Spore germination technology is an extremely dependable means for delivering probiotics in less than ideal conditions, and they do not require glass packaging and refrigeration. Syntol AMD is a trademark of Arthur Andrew Medical, and is a leading probiotic formula on the market today.

Enteric Coating of Enzymes: Necessary? Or a Waste of Time and Money?
When talking about health supplements or medications, you may hear the term "enteric coating".This term is in reference to the substance (usually made from fatty acids, shellac, waxes or plastics) that is applied to certain oral medications/supplements, which creates a barrier to prevent irritation of the stomach by the drug, and protects the drug from stomach acid.
The word enteric refers to the small intestine, so when a product is enteric coated, it means that it is meant to be absorbed in the small intestine, and NOT in the acids produced by the stomach during the digestive process. Aspirin, for example, can have an irritating effect on the stomach, so it is coated with a substance that will only dissolve in the small intestine.The coatings work by creating a surface that is stable at the highly acidic pH found in the stomach, but breaks down rapidly at a less acidic (basic) pH.meaning they will not dissolve in the acidic juices of the stomach (pH ~3), but they will in the higher pH (above pH 5.5) environment present in the small intestine.
As a distributor of Neprinol and other enzyme-based supplements, we have dealt with many products from different manufacturers over the years that claim to be enterically coated. Many of them probably do coat some of their raw materials, but is it really necessary when you're talking about enzymes?
We recently spoke with a rep from a company that enterically coats products, and he ran down the process of enterically coating a raw material for me. He explained that a raw material is in itself too small to coat typically, so they have to turn it into a tablet first, then crush it down to the smallest size they can. He said that if the raw material does not appear different than its pre-coated appearance, then the presence of an enteric coating that would actually work is unlikely. The material used is in itself a solid in powder form, and turned into a liquid during the coating process. He said the coating material, as a solid, could be added to an enzyme raw material to bring a positive test result back for the presence of an enteric coating, but would not add any value nor would it provide protection from acidity being mixed as such.
According to Howard F. Loomis D.C., *"There is a great deal of misinformation concerning the destruction of supplemental enzymes by hydrochloric acid (HC1) in the stomach. I speak with practitioners every week who are under the impression that HC1 is constantly present in the stomach. This, of course, is not true," he states. "It takes 30 to 60 minutes for the body to concentrate the amount of acid in the stomach, if it can do it at all. Acid production occurs in response to stretching of the stomach wall by the presence of food."
Loomis continues by saying, "When we supplement enzymes because of an inflammatory reaction, we should do so on an empty stomach and there is no need to worry about acid production in the stomach. If we supplement with meals, the enzymes will be used in the digestion of food and are not available to the immune system. This means that using enteric coated enzyme tablets between meals to protect the enzymes from HC1 is a waste of time and money," Loomis says. "Besides, enzymes lose from 40% to 60% of their potency by being compressed into tablet form!"
This does not mean that enteric coating is an unnecessary process all of the time.as a matter of fact, it's quite the contrary.Aspirin, as mentioned above, can be coated to avoid the irritating effect on the stomach.Similarly, many fish oil supplements are now using enteric coating to prevent the fish oil capsules from being digested in the stomach, which can cause a 'fishy' reflux.Other medications and supplements require the coating to avoid the stomach's acidic exposure, so they can pass through to a more basic pH environment (the small intestine), and serve their purpose throughout the body.
There’s a new player in the natural supplement world -- and it promises to be an important one! Neprinol AFD, it’s called, and it addresses a number of problems that involve chronic pain, inflammation and conditions associated with both including -- and these are just a few on a long list -- arthritis, chronic sinusitis, coronary vascular disease and multiple sclerosis. Neprinol’s primary ingredients are vegetable-derived enzymes Nattokinase and Serrapeptase, but it also contains Co-Q10 and several other ingredients of the highest purity. These are metabolized and travel to sites where there is inflammation and fibrin deposition.
Neprinol's ability to break down fibrin works to slow the degenerative processes of aging and many diseases, says Dr. Andrew Rubman, ND, Medical Director for the Southbury Clinic for Traditional Medicines, which is why he believes the majority of the adult population would benefit from it. It’s a powerful supplement, he says, best used under medical supervision tailored to each patient’s health issues and treatment regimen. For example, a person on long-term corticosteroid or anticoagulant therapy would require close initial physician monitoring to determine effective dose levels.
There is a downside, however. Neprinol is expensive -- about $90 for a 150-capsule bottle, which will last a month or two, depending on your dosage. But says Dr. Rubman, after watching many patient’s response to Neprinol, he has come to believe that it is worth the cost. He has seen patients have a dramatic decrease in abdominal, pelvic, breast pain and tenderness associated with PID, IBS, GERD, mastitis, fibromyalgia and other conditions within days of starting the supplement. Also, he points out that cost can be offset by how much people need to take. Dr. Rubman may start his patients off with anywhere from one capsule every other day to three times daily until it provides systemic relief, then stop altogether for a while to see how long the benefits persist. Then he reintroduces minimum effective dosage levels to find what a patient needs. Many do well with just an occasional capsule, though he says patients with serious inflammatory conditions may be prescribed many capsules a day -- as many as six or eight, but the relief they provide is usually worth the cost.
Make sure to inform your doctor about Neprinoland why you believe it should be considered in your treatment protocol, says Dr. Rubman. The one precaution for its use: Suspend taking it for several days before surgery since surgical healing starts with scar tissue and that, of course, is why you need initial fibrin deposition.

NEPRINOL AFD is the most potent systemic enzyme blend available. These enzymes use a lock and key mechanism to emulsify and release dead, dying and toxic materials from the body. When this process takes place, the only way to cleanse the body is to release this debris back into the bloodstream so that it may be processed by the liver and kidneys, and then finally released through urination or a bowel movement. We refer to this process as Enzymatic Detoxification, which can sometimes be uncomfortable.
Some Neprinol side effects are headache, fatigue, upset stomach and diarrhea may occur. If at any point you start to feel ill, you may be detoxifying too quickly. Decreasing your usage for a more gradual and comfortable detoxification period is therefore recommended to avoid Neprinol side effects. It may take several days to completely cleanse the body of unwanted debris. We recommend drinking plenty of water during detoxification to allow the body to dilute the toxins that are being expelled. Please call us if you begin to feel ill.
Enzymatic Detoxification or Neprinol side effects are only temporary, and in some of the most extreme cases will not last for more than a period of 14 days. For more information about Neprinol, call Southwest Nutraceuticals at 1-800-959-8872 or read the Arthur Andrew Medical blog.
