Wobenzym N
Overall Review:
3 out of 5.
Wobenzym N from Garden of Life is supplement designed to help with joint issues. It aims to support the way the body naturally response to inflammation increase mobility and flexibility, and ease some of the aching associated with arthritis or other problems in the joints.
Pancreatin is typically an extract from cows’ and pigs’ pancreases. It is commonly used as a remedy for low enzyme levels in the pancreas. This type of enzymatic therapy may help with inflammation of the joints, according to some claims.
Wobenzym N has also included Papain and Bromelain in their formula. These two supplements are often seen in products that aim to treat some of the pain in the joints. They are reportedly thought to speed up some of the process of healing after a person has an illness or injury. Papain has been regarded by many to help much of the pain associated with both inflammatory and noninflammatory arthritis (inflammatory arthritis = rheumatoid types of arthritis). Concerning inflammatory arthritis, papain may boost the body’s analgesia, helping users to recover more quickly and avoid inflammation. The noninflammatory kind of arthritis (osteoarthritis) is thought to benefit from papain by allowing the fruit to assist in removing some of the cellular waste that can build up in the joint area.
The other ingredients in the product may not be as potent as the above-listed ones, but are essentially integral to how the product works in the body.
Users are directed to take six tablets each day, spreading them out into two doses of three tablets at a time. They should be taken without food at least 45 minutes before eating – and always with a full glass of water.

I have had no joint problems but I do have pulmonary fibrosis.
My Naturpathic Physician recommended, along with other products, that I take 2 Wobenzym N daily. Since starting the overall regime I have acquired frequent but brief paralysis in each of my hands, also cramp in my legs when in bed.
I would be interested to learn if the likely cause is Wobenzym N.

I hope for an opinion.
Have I offended somebody?

After being recommended many years ago in Germany by members of several olympic teams, I started using it after it became available in the US. It did not help inflammation or swelling for me but turned out to be wonderful for my teeth. Instead of having some teeth pulled, abcesses disappeared and I had no pain from a couple of loose teeth. The dentist was suprized when I removed one tooth with my hand with no pain or bleeding. The only drawback is the expense.

I have been using Wobenzym N for years and it has helped me sustantially. However, a few months ago, I started using the Garden of Life brand, which seemed to be dramatically different in a bad way! I started feeling pain that I did not have before, which led me to believe that the Garden of Life incredients are different than before or as listed on the bottle. I tried to talk to Douglas laboratories for more information, but they gave me none! I also want to know where the incredients are grown as I hope it is not China! They say “Made in Germany”, but where do the incredients come from??? I am not buying anymore until I can find this out!

If a person is taken 80mg aspirin and also using wobenzyme 4 tablets daily and is also on high blood pressure meds, will this cause more bleeding and thinning of the blood

I had terrible results with Wobenzym N (Garden of LIfe). I took it for several months and got excruciating stomach aches to the point I went to the doctor. My blood tests were elevated for Lipase and Amylase suggesting pancreatic issues. I immediately went off the enzymes and my symptoms stopped. After a week I took a morning dose of the enzyme and within 20 minutes got a severe stomach ache.
Be fore warned this product may have serious side affects.

I just started taking this Wobenzyme PS as recommended by my chiropractor. I was told to take 3 pills a day. I have noticed that they upset my stomach-hasn’t done anything for inflammation and are VERY expensive! Also-the first time I took this-I noticed my gums bled profusely after only two does-taken about 8 hours apart. I think it is hyped mediocrity. I think I wil try Hyolauronic Acid. I have osteo arthritis and am looking for something to help with the inflammation. GLucosmaine and MSM amy be a good base-but they aren’t that effective in pain control.

I have been taking Wobenzyms for over 4 years and they have been a life saver for my diverticulitis. I was having diarrhea and this product has strengthen my gut so well, that I do not have those fluctuation gases that are caused by diary products. It binds my gut to a healthy good feeling. I do need to be careful of those foods and try to eat more fiber. Yes, I do have to use a product called Fibermate by Aloe life to keep regular. These have been the best for me. I hope this helps others.
