Enzymedica's Diverse Line of Enzyme Supplements a Focus of Increased Awareness

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla., August 9, 2007 — While the topic of enzyme supplements may have been unfamiliar to many consumers just a few years ago, health editors from today's popular national magazines and blogs are getting the word out about the health benefits of plant-based enzymes. Spurred in part by the enzyme-rich, raw food movement and countless testimonials from frustrated individuals suffering from issues like indigestion, gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance, enzyme supplements have expanded to address a variety of common but difficult-to-treat ailments.

"The message that raw plant foods provide substantial benefits to the digestive system, and thereby enhance overall wellbeing, is certainly something we encourage," said Tom Bohager, president of Enzymedica, which produces an extensive line of digestive and therapeutic supplements. "As a supplement provider, we pride ourselves on offering those naturally occurring enzymes in a variety of tailored formulations."

With sustained sales increases for the last three years averaging well over 35 percent annually, Enzymedica's growth reflects a solid commitment to high-quality supplements. The Enzymedica brand is widely available and outpaces enzyme sales as a category, which was reported at 15 percent growth in 2006.*

2007 media coverage has certainly contributed to increased awareness, with top health magazines reporting on enzyme benefits, enzyme supplements and Enzymedica products. Top consumer health magazine features include a July 2007 edition of "First for Women," which lead with a cover story titled "Enzyme Miracle." Other notable mentions include stories in "OnFitness," "Fitness Plus" and in the online realm with popular health sites like FitSugar.com.
