LPS is recommended for fat digestion and metabolism as well as the health of the cardiovascular system.*

Each capsule provides:

• Lipase Thera-blend™ 10,000 FCCFIP
• Amylase Thera-blend™ 6,500 DU
• Protease Thera-blend™ 25,000 HUT
• Lactase 500 ALU
• 60 Capsules per bottle. No excipients or fillers.

Recommended Usage: One or more capsules with each meal. LPS can be taken between meals for therapeutic purposes, and promoting healthy cholesterol metabolism.*

LPS was formulated to address the needs of patients with heart problems, high blood pressure, plaque build up in the arteries, obesity, or indigestion.* LPS aids in the proper digestions of fats, carbohydrates, protein and dairy products.* This formulation contains the highest amount of lipase found in any product.

In answer to obesity concerns: The govermment defines obesity as 30% over a persons recommended weight. Research has shown that people who are obese are low in the enzyme lipase. The high amount of lipase in our LPS formulation provides the body with a feeling of satiety which further controls appetite, lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and serves in the balancing of fatty acids in the systems.*

Breaks Down Fats: The basic mechanism for which lipase was created was for breaking down fats. When added to your meal as a supplement it is able to do this in the digestive tract. By supplementing with lipase during digestion, stress is taken off of the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas.* When taken between meals, it may be stored in the liver and called upon as needed.* Lipase is present in all of the Theramedix Therablends and LPS has the highest content of lipase to aid in the digestion of fat.* The pancreas produces about a liter and a half of digestive juices per day with an array of enzymes (protease, amylase, cellulase, lactase and lipase). With advancing age the body produces smaller amounts of digestive juice, about 13% less per decade of life. For these same reasons, fat blockers such as Olean and Elestra are undesireable. They keep fat from being absorbed, but they also keep fatty nutrients from being available. When fat is blocked in the diet it is not contributing to satisfying the body's need for it. Under-nutrition occurs in about half of the patients with chronic heart failure, and fats are a major source of fuel for the heart muscle. The use of lipase has been suggested to improve fat absorption (6).* It was not until 1997 that researchers found that lipase also can help to control LDL cholesterol and is helpful in stubborn cases of high triglycerides (7).*

Lipase Deficiency: Since lipase digests fat, as well as fat-soluble vitamins and balances fatty acids, lipase deficient people can be expected to have a tendency towards high cholesterol, high triglycerides, difficulty losing weight and diabetes. The future outcome of these tendencies is heart disease, which kills one out of two Americans. Lipase deficient people also have decreased cell permeability, meaning nutrients cannot get in and the waste cannot get out. Oral lipase supplementation helps to correct lipase deficiency.*

Indications:* High Cholesterol, Feeling of satiety, Poor fat digestion, Obesity, High triglycerides, Balancing fatty acids
