Phil has formulated probably one on the most potent anti inflammatory products on the market, as well as a potent digestive enzyme.

Enzymes are energized protein molecules found in all living cells. They catalyze and regulate all biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. They are also instrumental in digestion.


BETWEEN 60 – 80% OF THE BODY’S ENERGY IS USED TO MOVE FOOD THROUGH THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.


Enzymes break down proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fibre, making it possible to benefit from the nutrients found in those foods while removing the toxins. Enzymes turn the food we eat into energy and unlock this energy for use in the body.
There are three types of enzymes. Our bodies naturally produce two types, digestive and metabolic enzymes, as they are needed, while food enzymes can only be consumed orally.


Metabolic Enzymes speed up the chemical reaction within the cells for detoxification and energy production. They enable us to see, hear, feel, move and think.
Every organ, every tissue, and all 100 trillion cells in our body depend upon the reaction of metabolic enzymes and their energy factor.


Metabolic enzymes are produced by every living cell. However, the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and other organs play a vital role in their production.
Digestive Enzymes are secreted along the digestive tract to break food down into nutrients and waste. This allows nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream and the waste to be discarded. Human digestive enzymes include ptyalin, pepsin, trypsin, lipase, protease, and amylase


Food Enzymes are introduced to the body through the raw foods we eat and through consumption of supplemental enzyme fortifiers. Raw foods naturally contain enzymes, providing a source of digestive enzymes when ingested.
However, raw food manifests only enough enzymes to digest that particular food, not enough to have any support systemically.

Metabolic Enzyme Formula Overview
Unlike digestive enzyme products that simply assist in the breakdown of food, systemic enzymes are used to support the health and maintenance of body tissues. This is the main reason why you should always take Metabolic Enzyme Formula on an empty stomach.
Metabolic Enzyme Formula is used by those recovering from injuries, surgery, and for both chronic and acute musculoskeletal problems like back pain and sore joints. Metabolic Enzyme Formula also offers support for healthy circulation and inflammation control.


Metabolic Enzyme Formula Description
It's a simple fact that systemic enzymes are important to our health. Systemic enzymes are absolutely essential to maintaining a healthy body and an active lifestyle.
Your body uses systemic enzymes to rebalance the inflammatory response and fine-tune repair processes to help you recover from injury and disease. Fortunately, you can replenish your supply with the naturally occurring enzymes in Metabolic Enzyme Formula.

Metabolic Enzyme Formula is recommended for:
Healthy Joints
Improved Mobility
Robust Circulation
Healthy Ageing
Normalized Inflammation
Sports Injury Recuperation

While other products – like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) — offer quick but temporary solutions, Metabolic Enzyme Formula empowers your body to heal itself.

Phil Richards Performance has done it again!
Phil has formulated probably one on the most potent anti inflammatory products on the market, as well as a potent digestive enzyme.
Read below the ingredients in Phil Richards Metabolic Enzyme Formula so that you realize what a phenomenal product this truly is.

Pancreatin is a digestive enzyme that is used to supplement loss of or low levels of digestive enzymes, and is often used in people with cystic fibrosis. It has been claimed to help with food allergies, celiac disease, autoimmune disease, cancer, and weight loss. Pancreatin is also known as pancreatic acid. Pancreatin is made up of the pancreatic enzymes trypsin, amylase, and lipase.


Papain has been used for years by those who endorse natural healing methods. Many European countries use the papaya between courses of gourmet meals to cleanse the palate and to help the digestion of heavy meals. The enzyme papain has been extracted and has proven beneficial in the digestion of proteins. Proteins are much harder to digest than any other food by the body. Papain has been used for many years by holistic healers as an aid to digestion. It has also been used to help with problems such as indigestion, acid reflux, heartburn, and irritable bowel syndrome.


Papain was also found to be very beneficial in its anti inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that this enzyme was beneficial in reducing the inflammation in certain diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid athritis. These enzymes are able to reduce the severity and the nature of these diseases. Respiratory diseases that are caused due to inflammation of the bronchial tubes such as asthma have been helped by using this enzyme. Papain has been used to help certain skin conditions and has been helpful in the healing of certain skin problems.


Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes found naturally in the juice and stems of pineapples. Called a proteolytic enzyme, bromelain is believed to help with the digestion of protein. Some bromelain appears to be absorbed by the body intact, so it's also thought to have effects outside the digestive tract. In fact, bromelain is often marketed as a natural anti-inflammatory for conditions such as arthritis. It's one of the most popular supplements in Germany, where it is approved by the Commission E for the treatment of inflammation and swelling of the nose and sinuses due to surgery or injury.


Trypsin and Chymotrypsin - Having read through the research papers published by Dr Ernst Krebs, Dr Dean Burk of the USA, Dr Hans Nieper of Germany, Dr Ernesto Contreras of Mexico, Dr Manuel Navarro of the Philippines, Dr Shigeaki Sakai of Japan and others, Dr Binzel reports that these researchers found that cancer cells are coated with a protein lining, and that it was this protein lining (or covering) that prevented the body’s normal defences from getting to the cancer cell.

They found that if you could dissolve the protein lining from around the cancer cell, the body’s normal defences, the leukocytes (white blood cells) would destroy the cancer cell. They found that the dissolving of the protein coating from around the cancer cell was done very nicely within the body by two enzymes: trypsin and chymotrypsin. These enzymes are secreted by the pancreas. Thus, they said the enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin formed the body’s first line of defence against cancer.

Rutoside, which is more commonly known as Rutin but also called quercetin-3-rutinoside and sophorin, is a bioflavonoid obtained from buckwheat, flower buds of the pagoda tree and the leaves of several species of the Eucalyptus. Rutin is actually a form of Quercetin. Quercetin, one of the most common and abundant flavonoids, occurs bound to sugars in the form known as Rutin or Rutoside. Rutin is generally found in apples, onions, and tea among others. This ingredient is said to strengthen capillaries, as well as lower "bad" cholesterol and reduce the incidence of heart disease in humans.


Curcumin, also known as diferuloylmethane, is a photochemical found in the spice turmeric. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, and may help prevent the development of a variety of conditions related to oxidative and free-radical damage, including cataracts, heart disease, and cancer.

Laboratory studies have shown that curcumin inhibits the production of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), two enzymes that are involved in promoting and maintaining inflammation in the body. By reducing the effects of these enzymes, curcumin may help relieve inflammation symptoms of arthritis sufferers. Indian researchers found that turmeric (the spice in which curcumin naturally occurs) was as effective as prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) when used to treat joint pain and swelling in people with arthritis, without side effects such as abdominal bleeding or stomach upset commonly associated with prolonged use of NSAIDs.

Curcumin is currently being studied for its possible use in preventing or slowing the progression Alzheimer’s disease. (It has been theorized that Alzheimer’s may be caused, at least in part, by inflammation in the brain.)

Curcumin helps prevent the DNA mutations that can lead to cancer. In one study, smokers that took just 1 teaspoon of turmeric each day for 30 days had lower levels of cancer-causing mutagens in their urine. Researchers at the University of Chicago found that curcumin also inhibits the growth of H. pylori, a bacteria believed to cause stomach and colon cancer.

Curcumin keeps the heart healthy by preventing a plaque build-up in the arteries, which can lead to atherosclerosis. In one study, participants taking just 500 milligrams of curcumin each day significantly reduced their cholesterol levels in as little as 10 days. Preliminary research indicates that curcumin may also help lower blood pressure and prevent blood clots.

A natural detoxifier, curcumin helps protect the liver from the damaging effects of alcohol, toxic chemicals, and even some pharmaceutical drugs. It also stimulates the production of bile, which is needed to digest fat, and kills salmonella bacteria and protozoa that can cause diaorrhea. Commission E, a group of experts that evaluates the safety and efficacy of herbs for the German government, approves the use of turmeric for indigestion.
