Numerous clinical studies have been conducted on the pain relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of the ingredients in Zymosine and many of those studies compare the efficacy with OTC and prescription pain relievers. Most studies have focused on back pain, knee pain, hip pain and other joint pain. Ingredient comparisons have been done with:

The specific Zymosine ingredient compared in each study was better tolerated, had fewer side effects and had a pain relieving and/or anti-inflammatory effect equal to or greater than the comparable OTC or prescription anti-inflammatory pain reliever. ^{(26,27, 28, 37, 38, 40, 56, 57, 65, 72, 80, 81, 82)}

Q. I am allergic to sulfur drugs is it OK to take Zymosine?

Yes. Zymosine should be not pose a problem.

That’s a very common question. When people are allergic to sulfur drugs they are generally referring to the sulfasalazine that is in Bactrim or Septra. That is different than the kind of conjugated sulfate group that is found in our product (and in most of the food that you eat.)

The sulfur in Zymosine is similar to the sulfur in food which is an essential element in your body that you cannot live without.

Q. I am allergic to Aspirin is it OK to take Zymosine?

Yes, it is OK to take Zymosine.

There are no reports or studies that we are aware of indicating any allergic reactions for individuals with an aspirin allergy.

For your reference if you have an aspirin allergy your should avoid the following herbal supplement ingredients (NONE of these are in Zymosine): meadowsweet, white willow tree (Salix alba), crack willow (Salix fragilis), purple willow (Salix purpurea), and violet willow (Salix daphnoides). white willow is the most commonly used of the above herbal pain supplements.

Those plants contain salicin which is converted in the body to salicylic acid which is almost identical chemically to aspirin and should be avoided by anyone with an aspirin allergy.

Q. Are there any precautions?

As with all supplements and foods, allergic reactions could occur. If you have a known allergic reaction to pineapple the ingredient Bromelain (made form pineapple) may cause an allergic reaction.

Adverse reactions could occur with any supplement or drug. We recommend that you always discuss the use of any supplement with your health care professional.

As with the majority of supplements, studies regarding the effect on fetal and nursing babies are limited so we do not recommend it's use by pregnant or nursing women.
