Best-Selling Systemic Enzyme Formula Promotes Healthy Joints, Circulation,
Strengthens Immune System and Recovery From Sports and Work Injuries
PHOENIX, Feb. 12 -- Phoenix-based Marlyn Nutraceuticals,
Inc., dba Naturally Vitamins, has extended its contract with MUCOS Pharma of
Germany giving them exclusive rights to distribute Wobenzym® in the United
States. Wobenzym®, which will be shipped in February 2002, is part of the
entire complement of systemic enzyme therapy products pioneered by Karl
Ransberger, Ph.D. of MUCOS since the early 1950's. Other products included in
the contract for future distribution are Phlogenzym® and Wobe-Mugos®.
The enzymes in Wobenzym® break down select harmful proteins that irritate
joints and slow recovery from injuries. The systemic enzymes in Wobenzym®
split other proteins and break them down into smaller fragments. The body
uses these naturally-occurring enzymes to remove circulating immune complexes
from the blood and other harmful proteins to deliver nutrients and oxygen to
various tissues more efficiently.
"I'm very proud to continue in the steps of Dr. Ransberger and the
systemic enzyme legacy he helped develop," said Joe Lehmann, president,
Naturally Vitamins. "Our customers are extremely important to us and we
believe in Wobenzym's ability to promote healthy aging and improve the quality
of life."
Wobenzym's history dates back to the early 1950's when medical doctor Max
Wolf, cancer researcher Dr. Helen Benitez and German biologist Karl Ransberger
Ph.D., formed a research team at Columbia University. Their goal was to find
a natural cure for cancer using systemic enzymes. When they began testing
their enzyme formula they learned patients complained less about aches and
pains and the formula had other beneficial effects on their health. In 1959,
Ransberger brought the formula to Germany and since then hundreds of M.D.'s
and Ph.D.'s have pioneered the medical use of systemic enzymes at MUCOS. With
the passing of Ransberger in June 2001, Naturally Vitamins continues his
legacy with the signing of the contract with MUCOS.
To date, numerous studies in Europe have been conducted on Wobenzym®
backing the findings of Wolf, Benetiz and Ransberger. Studies show Wobenzym®
as safe with none of the adverse side effects of aspirin, ibuprofen and other
NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs).
"We will continue to market safe and effective products to address the
evolving healthcare needs of our customers," said Aftab Ahmed, Ph.D., director
of research and development as well as business development for Naturally
Vitamins. "Wobenzym® has surpassed Naturally Vitamins' two-fold standard. It
has been shown to be effective and provides reasonably proven health
benefits."
Marlyn Nutraceuticals, Inc., dba Naturally Vitamins, is a leading
manufacturer of nutritional supplements. Naturally Vitamins is the sole U.S.
distributor of Wobenzym®, a product outsold only by aspirin in Germany. To
