The following suggested use guide is for taking Vitalzym for uterine fibroid tumors. Please go over this with your health care practitioner to decide on a program that is best for you.

• Start a bit slowly to minimize the effects of the Initial Cleansing Phase. A suggestion is:

Day 1 - take 6 capsules (2 caps 3x day)
Day 2 - take 9 capsules (3 caps 3x day)
Day 3 - take 12 capsules (3 caps 4x day -or- 4 caps 3x day)
Day 4 - take 15 capsules (3 caps 5x day –or- 5 caps 3xday)
Day 5 and beyond - continue with 15 or more capsules per day until you feel that the tumors have adequately shrunk.

The suggested dosage of 15 capsules per day is the minimum for all fibroid sizes. Women with large or mature fibroids, or who wish to speed up the process, have taken up to 30 per day.

• Take enzymes away from food - at least ½ before eating, or 1 hour after eating. You should drink plenty of water when you take the capsules, and during the day to assist your body in flushing out the toxins, debris, and the dissolved tumors.
  
• Try to spread your doses over a 24 hour period.  A suggestion is to take 1/3 your dose first thing in the morning, 1/3 last thing at night, and the rest in between. That way you’ll have the enzymes working in your body almost continuously.
  
• After they are shrunk adequately, and if you are not yet into menopause, your body could possibly try to grow more fibroids. You could take a maintenance dose of enzymes until you begin menopause to prevent their reoccurrence. Six to nine capsules per day of Vitalzym would probably do the job. Vitalzym provides many other health benefits, so you may want to continue taking it for those reasons also. Or, you could discontinue its use, and start up again if you think the tumors are growing again.

How Do I Know The Enzymes Are Working?

You will first notice that Vitalzym is working in your body during the Initial Cleansing Phase. Cleansing can last several months, but for most people the majority of the cleansing and detoxification is completed within the first one to two months. This cleansing phase is also preparing your body to utilize the enzymes more effectively.

During this time you will have increased your dosage to the Activation Phase dose, as suggested above. Cleansing and detoxifying will continue. As your body becomes more cleansed, more of the enzymes are available to work on fibrosis. Most women begin to notice changes in their fibroids after the first month or two, some more quickly, some a little later. For some women, shrinkage may not occur.

As you continue with Vitalzym, any symptoms you may experience from your fibroids will gradually decrease. There are many variables that determine the amount and timeliness of fibroid shrinkage. It may take 3 to 6 months, or longer, for major shrinkage of your fibroids. Controlling your estrogen levels through balancing your hormones, consistent dosage of Vitalzym, the size of your fibroids, and proper diet and nutrition all play a role in the timeliness of the shrinkage. It is suggested you wait at least 4 months before evaluating your results with an examination, ultrasound, or an MRI.

It's been clinically proven that the more enzymes you take, the quicker your body can repair, restore, and strengthen itself. It takes time to re-educate the body's natural ability to repair, restore, and strengthen itself, so be patient.

After you feel your fibroids have shrunk adequately, it is suggested you go on a Maintenance Dose of Vitalzym to shrink any regrowth. Proper hormone balance will assist in preventing regrowth.

Read the Vitalzym Suggested Use page for more details on the various phases.

Consider the other suggested supplements that may assist in your efforts to shrink your fibroids, such as DIM, Calcium D-Glucarate, Myomin, and Progesta-Care progesterone cream. Controlling estrogen dominance can be a great help in controlling current and future growth of fibroid tumors and other women’s fibrosis conditions.


During your Activation Phase, you may notice the following:

Estrogen Flair Reaction - Women with fibroids have to deal with bloating just before the period begins, and this can be intense, especially for women taking DIM. When estrogen dependant fibroids do not get the estrogen they want, due to the effects of DIM, they will cause swelling and bloating know as the “estrogen flair reaction”. This usually occurs right before the start of your period if you are limiting the estrogen every way possible, through diet, DIM, and other supplements. If this happens to you, don’t worry that your fibroid is growing, this swelling will improve about mid-way through your period.

Discharge – Some women with internal fibroids may experience a visible discharge from the uterus. This is a common sign that the lysing (dissolving) of the fibroid is occurring. The color of this discharge can range from clear to white to blood red or brown periodically during the first few months. If you experience any discharge that alarms you, please consult your doctor.

Additional Bleeding – Women who are anemic or have heavy periods may experience some additional bleeding while on Vitalzym. The enzymes in Vitalzym are a mild blood thinner. If you experience additional or heavier bleeding, you may consider reducing your dosage of Vitalzym during your period. If you are anemic, consider supplementing with iron temporarily. As your fibroids shrink, symptoms such as heavy periods will diminish, and you can continue with the higher doses of Vitalzym during your period.

FAQs -  to answer questions you may have.

Please note that it is not advisable to take enzymes to eliminate fibroids while pregnant, as pockets of estrogen may be released from the fibroid as it dissolves and cause a hormonal imbalance that could cause a miscarriage. See the FAQ page for further information.

WARNING:If you are pregnant, lactating, a hemophiliac, taking anti-coagulants (such as Coumadin, Heparin and Plavix), blood thinners, or have a history of thinning blood in your family, do not take Vitalzym, VitalzymSEB, or NattoQ10 without direction and supervision from your medical provider. Discontinue use 2 weeks prior to surgery.

PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS. If your condition is serious, please talk to your doctor about your choice to take Vitalzym or VitalzymSEB, particularly if you have refused surgery against your doctor's advice. Do not allow a serious problem, such as heavy bleeding, to go on too long. Vitalzym or VitalzymSEB may work for you, but do not put your health or life in jeopardy waiting for it to work.
