The Foundation of our Formulations
Quality & Efficacy
Evidence-Based Supplements Routinely Assayed to Assure Purity and Potency
All decision-making processes involving ingredient selection and sourcing, potency and purity, manufacturing, and testing center on our uncompromising commitment to quality.
We accept our supplement formulas for digestive and systemic health as being no less than the highest quality possible. Choosing the best ingredients, potencies, and dosage form to address specific health conditions requires extensive scientific and clinical research.
Additionally, it necessitates knowledge of current manufacturing and ingredient delivery technologies. Our experienced product development team has all the bases covered, formulating some of the most effective nutritional supplements available to healthcare professionals today.

Ingredient Selection & Sourcing
-
Once we select an ingredient for inclusion in a ProEnzol formulation, there are numerous other considerations to be made beyond its clinical value. Many ingredients, particularly enzymes and herbal extracts, are available in various concentrations or strengths. This impacts how much of an ingredient we can use in supplement formulas. We select the highest concentration whenever possible to maximize the ingredient potency in the product. To assure the effectiveness and safety of the final formulation in digestive and systemic health, we thoroughly evaluate ingredient bioavailability, interactions, contraindications, allergenicity, and stability during production and use. Only if an ingredient meets these rigorous ProEnzol quality standards does it become approved for use in our professional formulas.
-
Once an ingredient is approved to become part of a ProEnzol master formulation, the process of ingredient sourcing begins. We obtain only premium quality ingredients from well-respected suppliers worldwide, and each must pass our rigorous quality and testing audit to become a ProEnzol ingredient supplier. Alongside the Certificate of Analysis, we request from the supplier, each ingredient batch received is quarantined in a separate part of our facility until tested to confirm its identity.
Commitment to Quality
Purity & Potency
-
Ingredient purity in a nutritional supplement can significantly impact its effectiveness. For this reason, ProEnzol supplements are as pure and hypoallergenic as possible. All products are free from gluten, nuts, dairy, trans fats, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners. All product ingredients are always 100% non-GMO, with the majority of our products being 100% vegan. ProEnzol rarely uses Ingredients derived from soy and eggs, but it is clearly indicated on the label when found in a product. We make it a priority to avoid unnecessary fillers, binders, preservatives, and other manufacturing aids. To assure maximum purity and safety, all raw materials and finished products are tested for microbial contaminants, heavy metals (including mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead), solvent residues, and pesticides, as applicable, by independent third-party laboratories.
-
Healthcare professionals expect consistency in the potency of the products they recommend and their patients depend upon. ProEnzol uses reputable third-party laboratories to test that the active ingredients in every ProEnzol digestive and systemic health supplement are no less than 100% of the label claim before being released for distribution.
Commitment to Quality
Manufacturing & Quality Control
-
Supplements with natural ingredients like herbal extracts and food concentrates are challenging enough to manufacture. Still, a much higher level of expertise is required when enzymes and probiotics enter the mix. ProEnzol manufactures all supplements in a facility that meets or exceeds GMP standards established by the FDA. The production rooms and warehouses are temperature and humidity-controlled to protect the stability of the raw materials and finished product. To prevent ingredient cross-contamination, the ProEnzol manufacturing facility possesses state-of-the-art HEPA air filtration and fine dust control systems.
-
Following GMP guidelines, our quality control team developed new SOPs (standard operating procedures) to document every step of the production process. One such SOP is extensive, ongoing training for our production personnel and quality control inspectors. The rigorous training, testing, inspection, and cleaning protocols implemented in our manufacturing facility are part of our ongoing ProEnzol Quality in Manufacturing Initiative, assuring all ProEnzol supplements are of the highest professional quality possible.

Research & Experience
-
Healthcare practitioners are constantly looking for the most current and effective ways to help their patients achieve optimal health. Our R&D team is looking for the same. They routinely review the latest research in functional medicine, searching for reliable scientific or clinical evidence supporting the therapeutic use of specific natural ingredients for health imbalances. While you could combine many ingredients in supplement formulas to address a particular digestive or systemic health concern, there is only one combination solidly backed by research that possesses the necessary synergy to be the most effective. It is this combination of ingredients that forms the basis for further product development into a ProEnzol supplement.
-
The scientists and clinicians who have created ProEnzol supplements have decades of experience in the clinical application of nutritional supplements in functional medicine. This experience is crucial when evaluating the therapeutic value of an ingredient’s mechanism of action, its metabolic pathway, and possible side effects. In addition, these experts have a working knowledge of current dietary supplement manufacturing and ingredient delivery technologies required to determine the feasibility of using an ingredient in a nutritional supplement.

Formulation & Feedback
-
ProEnzol formulations consistently produce the best possible results with minimal risk of side effects. Our expert formulators use fewer, carefully selected ingredients in higher, more efficacious potencies than many different ingredients in such low amounts as to have no clinical value. Limiting the number of ingredients also reduces the risk of potentially harmful interactions. Committed to providing supplements of the utmost purity and quality, ingredients considered allergenic, synthetic, or otherwise unhealthy, as well as unnecessary manufacturing aids, are avoided.
-
We value all feedback from our network of healthcare professionals regarding patient responses to ProEnzol supplementation. This information is used in conjunction with the expertise of our R&D team to create new, innovative ProEnzol formulations and continuously improve upon the effectiveness of existing ProEnzol supplements.
