Food should work for you, not against you.
Humans used to get a LOT more enzymes from their diets. Raw foods help re-supply the digestive tract with beneficial enzymes, but today most of the foods we eat are cooked, heavily processed or transported in a refrigerator, lowering natural enzyme content. The results are widespread, with the food sensitivities and digestive problems on the rise worldwide. zuENZYMES by UMZU is a thoroughly research-backed blend of digestive enzymes that will help supply you with the enzymes you're missing. zuENZYMES supplies the enzymes needed to process protein, carbohydrates, fats, lactose, plants, legumes, nuts and more...
Let's bridge the gap between health and humanity
We believe in the power of the body's ability to heal the individual, and that medication and surgery should be a last resort. The products and services we provide are designed to give the body what it needs to thrive, heal and repair naturally. We do this by integrating natural health and objective, research-backed education to provide people with everything their bodies need to operate at maximum potential.
The most important step in achieving our mission is to deliver proper health and nutritional education to the public. Unfortunately, public school health education is decades behind, and medical schooling tends to avoid nutritional education in order to test the theories behind the efficacy of pharmaceuticals in isolation.
We choose our products carefully and research them thoroughly before releasing to the public. If you choose not to start your health journey with UMZU, we still encourage you to browse the educational pieces below. The more you understand about your body, the better you will be able to take control of your own health.

The Problem with Food
Did you know 20% of the world's population may have a food intolerance?
Here's the problem.
- Many common food sensitivities are caused by enzyme deficiencies
- You need enzymes to digest and extract nutrients from food
- Enzyme production decreases with age
- Humans lack certain enzymes needed to properly digest nuts, beans, legumes and plants
- The modern diet is largely devoid of digestive enzymes
- The number of people with a food intolerance is on the rise
-
How Digestive Enzymes Work
During the consumption of food, hormonal signals occur that cause digestive enzymes to produce in your saliva and pancreas.
These enzymes accelerate the breakdown of food in the mouth and gut so nutrients are released and can be absorbed across the intestinal barrier into the blood stream.
Therefore, one of the main functions of digestive enzymes is to increase the bioavailability of nutrients.
-
Why Does Digestive Enzyme Production Decrease?
There are many reasons why digestive enzyme production may decrease:
- Poor pancreas health
- Alcohol abuse
- Micronutrient deficiencies
- Protein deficiencies
- Diets high in refined carbohydrates
- High calorie intake
- Too little exercise
- Aging
Although the leading cause for an enzyme deficiency might explain why supplementing with digestive enzymes may seem like a recent fad...
-
The Leading Cause of Digestive Enzyme Decline...
Humans used to get a LOT more enzymes from their diets. In the past, humans consumed plenty of raw foods to help re-supply the digestive tract with beneficial enzymes, but today most of the foods we eat are cooked or heavily processed - both of which deplete natural enzymes.
What's more, because even the raw foods we eat are typically transported and refrigerated, their natural enzyme content is lowered even further.
-
Are There Any Digestive Enzymes Humans Completely Lack?
Finally, there are several digestive enzymes the human body lacks altogether. The two most critical are:
- Cellulase
- Protease
These are the enzymes that break down plant fiber and the phytates found in beans and legumes.
Because of this deficiency, many people have trouble breaking down starchy beans, legumes, plants and nuts to absorb their beneficial nutrients.
This all goes to say, if you tend to eat plants, nuts and legumes, you need to supplement with these enzymes.

Questions about zuENZYMES:
-
What is inside the proprietary formula?
Due to manufacturing constraints, the initial run of zuENZYMES is made up of two proprietary blends. Transparency is important to us at UMZU, so below you will find the breakdown of the dosages of each enzyme in zuENZYMES:
- Amylase: 7,700 DU
- Protease 4.5: 20,400 HUT
- Protease 6.0: 2,550 HUT
- Protease 3.0: 10 SAPU
- Neutral Protease: 3,850 PC
- Acid Maltase: 11 MaltU
- Bromelain: 25.5 GDU
- Papain: 357,000 USP units
- Glucoamylase: 12.75 AGU
- Peptidase: 2,550 HUT
- Lactase: 820 ALU
- Alpha-galactosidase: 102 GaIU
- Lipase: 1,070 FIP
- Pectinase: 7.65 endo - PGU
- Invertase: 450 SU
- Cellulase: 200 CU
- Xylanase: 255 XU
- Hemicellulose, Beta-Glucanase & Phytase: 150 MU
The potency of enzymes is not measured in the same way as other nutritional supplements (ex. "mg"). The determining factor of an enzyme product's potency is the effect it has on proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

How to use zuENZYMES
Take 1 capsule of zuENZYMES daily with a meal to ensure your gut can break down your food properly for the day.
If you are sensitive to a certain type of food, for example dairy, we recommend taking zuENZYMES with the first bite of food from the sensitive meal, similarly to how you would use a lactase enzyme tablet like Lactaid.
-
If my body and food already produce enzymes, why do I need a supplement?
Not only can an enzyme deficiency come from diet and lifestyle, but our bodies naturally produce fewer enzymes as we age. It can be hard to get what we need through diet alone because the process of cooking destroys the enzymes contained within food. Taking an enzyme supplement can help fill in the gap.
-
What's different about zuENZYMES vs. others?
Not all enzyme supplements are created equal, and zuENZYMES, while gentle, is still one of the most potent formulas on the market. It contains powerful enzymes like amylase, lipase, cellulase and protease. These enzymes break down complex foods like carbohydrates, fats, fiber and protein.* At the same time, it is not so harsh as to be uncomfortable — making it ideal for those with sensitive stomachs.
UMZU's proprietary zuABSORPTION and zuDIGESTION formula technology means that the enzymes found in zuENZYMES will work throughout the entire pH spectrum found along your digestive tract. When other brands’ enzyme formulas may fall short, in almost all acidic or alkaline environments, zuENZYMES will be effective.
Because we aren't huge fans of proprietary blends, we included the full breakdown of included enzymes and dosages in this accordion above.

Featured Reviews for zuENZYMES:
Energy and smooth moves
I have been taking this for over a month now. Didn’t know what to expect, but I can say it’s been pretty amazing. I started right after I finished the 15 days on ZuPoo and my issues with chronic diarrhea have all together almost vanished. I have more energy throughout the day. I feel as though I’m actually getting everything from my food; my energy is great, my workouts are great, I’m looking great. I recommend ZuEnzymes for anyone who has digestion issues, or truly wants to maximize the nutrition they are getting from their meals.

I've taken zuEnzymes for a little over a month now and it seems like the extra weight (fat) is melting off. My joints feel stronger.

Keep up the great work!

zuENZYMES
Works great! I noticed an obvious difference by the second day of taking them. Less bloating and a general feeling of quick/efficient digestion even after a large or “heavy” meal. Will be a consistently used supplement for me
