Some enzyme-food pairings are obvious: lactase with lactose (dairy) and cellulase for cellulose (fibrous foods). But most enzyme names are somewhat ambiguous as to which foods they affect. So I have listed some enzyme-food pairings along with an explanation for the not-so-obvious groupings. Let's talk about - steaks - vegetables - fruits - dairy Steaks - Most would assume that high protease formulas would be […] Continue Reading…

We recently made some changes to our Zyme Prime Chewable by switching from fructose/xylitol to a stevia-based sweetener.  Results were mixed, but generally many found that their children did not like the new flavor.  I take my customers' comments seriously, so we are now using a combination of fructose and xylitol for the sweenter, and a great raspberry-pomegranate flavor.

Using enzyme supplements provides about a million- to […] Continue Reading…

2011 will mark the 10thanniversary of Houston Enzymes. We started with Peptizyde and HN-Zyme Prime and sold our first product in April of 2001.  It is hard to believe how far we have come since those days, and how quickly the years passed. Every year of business has been better than the previous and we take that as a vote […] Continue Reading…

"How big are the capsules?" "What do the chewable tablets look like?" Frequent questions now answered with this photo.  Pictured is an M&M candy for reference (sorry, no enzymes in M&Ms), a TriEnza Chewable, a TriEnza capsule and ZyCarb capsule above.
