Product Spotlight: Intenzyme Forte-Natural Inflammation Relief

Managing body aches, exercise recovery, and joint inflammation naturally can transform how you feel day-to-day. In our latest Product Spotlight, Dr. Casen DeMaria highlights one of our practice's most popular supplements for natural relief: Intenzyme Forte.

Think of Intenzyme Forte as the "cleanup crew" for your body. This specialized formula contains powerful proteolytic enzymes—such as bromelain, lipase, and amylase—that work together to clear extra debris, support tissue repair, and soothe systemic inflammation.

Depending on how you take it, Intenzyme Forte provides targeted benefits:

  • Systemic & Muscle Recovery: Taking 3 to 9 tablets daily away from meals (about 45–60 minutes after eating) allows the enzymes to enter your bloodstream and address sprains, strains, scar tissue, or soreness after exercise or housework.

  • Pre- & Post-Workout Support: Student-athletes or active adults can take 3 to 6 tablets before or after physical activity to reduce muscle tightness and speed up recovery times.

  • Digestive Assistance: When taken alongside meals, it acts as an effective digestive enzyme to help break down foods smoothly.

Note: If you are currently on blood thinners or recovering with active stitches, Intenzyme Forte should be avoided; instead, our team often recommends alternatives like Bio-Omega SPM for cardiovascular and chronic inflammation support.

Whether you are healing from an injury, managing joint stiffness, or looking to bounce back faster from workouts, Intenzyme Forte is a versatile, natural tool for optimal health.

Hello Everyone!

We want to talk to you about some unique physiology, especially what Dr. Bob learned back in the 1980s, that at certain times of the year, certain foods can cause pain.

For example, June is the strawberry month. You can have pain in your left neck because of strawberries; July is cherries, and August is peaches. And then, in September, some of you may have an issue with tomatoes or nightshades.

Let us back up a little bit. There's a gland in your body called the pancreas. The pancreas embryologically starts around your left neck and mid-back. Still, about 180 days in gestation, that means it moved to your abdomen when you were developing inside your mother's uterus. So your pancreas moves and gets its electrical information from up here.

That's important because I know a lot of you are reading this right now; most of our patients have left neck and mid-back pain when they come into the office.

Dr. Bob is holding in his hand a product called Intenzyme Forte. Now, Intenzyme Forte has two enzymes, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. Those enzymes are secreted and created by the pancreas. If you eat sugar, your pancreas itself is going to be busy working with breaking everything down, including making insulin and not having enough resources to make trypsin and chymotrypsin. You're going to have pain then. The pancreas produces trypsin and chymotrypsin. The pancreas itself can get tired when you overeat sugar.

We learned over time with our patients that those of you who are eating certain kinds of foods also have pain. For example, grapes can cause your neck to hurt. Also, if you eat watermelon at any time during the year, or if you have pineapple, you can have left neck and mid back pain. We know so many of you like to eat fruit.

Want to learn something new? Grab your wrist. Can you touch a bone? When people do the squeeze the wrist test, there's fluid in their body. You have fluid because your body's in a state of inflammation, and your body's trying to minimize the inflammation. So with the Intenzyme Forte, you want to use it on an empty stomach for inflammation. When you wake up, you could take two or three Intenzyme Forte. You could take two or three at 10:30 and two or three at 3:30 in the afternoon.

If you injure your ankle or a part of your body, you could take five or six at a time. Now, the Intenzyme Forte can also be used as a digestive enzyme. You take that digestive enzyme when you're eating. You may also use it for activities when you're eating it with a meal. Why? Because if you injure yourself, those enzymes will help take care of the inflammation. Let's say you're playing sports, football, soccer, lacrosse, or any sport. You're a bicycle rider. You're a jogger. You're a runner. And if you have inflammation, pop two or three into your body after you're done with your experience. It'll accelerate the recovery time. But come back to the pancreas if you don't want to have pain, back off sugar. If you minimize your pain, eliminate fruit for a month. We promise you'll be glad you did.
