MassZymes Review [2023] – Proteolytic Enzymes – Do They Work?

Proteolytic Enzyme Supplements for Protein Digestion and Increasing Muscle Mass might not be something that you or your bodybuilding friends are aware of. Or maybe I am wrong – maybe you have BUT either way, in today’s post, (my Bioptimizers Masszymes Review) we will talk about what these enzymes are and why these Proteolytic Enzymes may be a good investment for advancing your exercise and fitness routine. So…

MassZymes is a dietary supplement that uses Proteolytic Enzymes. These are digestive aids that are very popular for use amongst high-performance athletes and bodybuilders for increasing protein absorption.

Usually, most people that consume high amounts of protein such as plates full of meat and protein shakes, etc. do not absorb the majority of Protein that they put inside them.

Quite silly, really but, actually this is something that Proteolytic Enzymes like Bioptimizers MassZymes can help change – by helping those that take them to convert more protein to release more amino acids.

I’m assuming most bodybuilders will know about different supplements and the like already but In this review, I will share everything I can about MassZymes, the Bioptimizers brand, and the benefits of using digestive enzymes for boosting muscle mass, bulking, cutting, and bodybuilding.

All this and more I will discuss throughout this blog post and review.

BiOptimizers MassZymes Review (Updated for 2023)

So, to begin with, let’s look at what MassZymes are, shall we? 

I’ve already mentioned that MassZymes is a digestive enzyme supplement for bodybuilders that want to absorb more protein. But let’s look into this a bit more.  I will definitely say this product is the best I have come across. The customer reviews speak volumes (I think). Just check out Amazon.co.uk or Trustpilot.

There are literally 100’s of positive reviews.

Amazon had just over 1100 last time I checked.

I will let you do your own research but yes this is a very popular product that has been out since 2003.

Masszymes actually came out before the Bioptimizers company was founded. And this is a product that has been going from strength to strength ever since and for good reason.

So, Bioptimizers Masszymes is specially designed for those that consume a high-protein diet. It is recommended to be taken during and between meals. Plus also alongside protein shakes.

The main selling point (I would say) is they are a full-spectrum proteolytic enzyme formula.  They contain the whole set of enzymes that you need for the most efficient digestion of Proteins.

In fact, MassZymes not only contains more digestive enzymes than all its main competitors but it also works out as better value for money because of the extra amounts of protease that it contains.

*MassZymes contains 100,000 HUT (Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine base)

See the comparison chart below;

Pretty Interesting right?

But just to further explain.

What Does HUT Mean In Enzymes (Protease)

Hemoglobin Unit Tyrosine base (HUT) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the activity of protease enzymes in dietary supplements. It is a measure of the ability of a protease to break down hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, into its constituent amino acids, particularly tyrosine.

The HUT value indicates the amount of tyrosine released per unit of time by a given amount of protease.

In the context of dietary supplements, the HUT measurement is often used to assess the potency or effectiveness of protease-containing products. Higher HUT values indicate greater protease activity and the potential for more efficient protein digestion.

It’s worth noting that the term “HUT” is specific to the measurement of protease activity in dietary supplements and may not be widely used or applicable outside of this context.

So what this means is that MassZymes can effectively digest more protein than many other supplements. *I haven’t come across any yet with more HUT but anyway…

Why Else Should You Choose MassZymes?

If you are new to BiOptimizers MassZymes or Mass Enzymes this product is what is known as a Proteolytic Enzymes Supplement.   An Enzymatic Formula that helps with protein digestion.

It is a fully plant-based dietary supplement that works by adding unique enzymes into your body that can improve both protein digestion and amino absorption. 

The result!… critical growth-enhancing amino acids that increase muscle growth.

These are taken (as mentioned) alongside your usual shakes, supplements, and meals. 

And when doing so this can apparently extract as much as 66% MORE key muscle-building amino acids from every bite of protein that is consumed.

Furthermore, it says on the sales page that taking Masszymes is like turning 1 gram of protein into 3 grams! 

A very big claim (I know) but perhaps the best way to explain this is that for somebody that doesn’t use MassZymes, who consumes a high protein diet, by doing so they are potentially losing out on two-thirds of protein absorption with every meal! 

I can’t really verify this myself but I have spoken to a few bodybuilders on Social Media (Reddit and Facebook) that have tried MassZymes and according to them, it is a good product just a bit pricey.

I will let you decide for yourself. The guys at Bioptimizers definitely describe this product a lot better than me, but please keep on reading as there is much still to discuss.

Now, I think there is a lot of hype around both MassZymes and Bioptimizers but really…

How Do Bioptimizers MassZymes Actually Work?

To really drive this point home you only need to watch this video of an experiment that shows what happens when MassZymes is added to a glass of water with a diced piece of Rib Eye Steak and Bioptimizers P3-OM.

The Main Points Are;

• Amino Absorption can increase by up to 66%. 
• A regular person will only absorb a small amount of protein from whatever they eat by comparison. 
• Amino Acid Absorption can increase significantly because of MassZyme’s special blend of ingredients. 
• Up to 200%, extra protein can be turned into amino acids and
• As a result, the regular person can absorb over 50% more than they usually would. 

Need I say any more?

Quite amazing really, and this is all because of Masszyme’s special blend of ingredients.   So…

What Are MassZymes Ingredients?

Inside the Masszymes 4.0 digestive enzyme formula you will find 13 different Enzyme blends plus a further 4 endo and exo-peptidases. Out of the 13 different enzyme blends, there is one that is a very special ingredient. (not included in previous incarnations of this product).

This extract is known as AstraZyme.

See more below;

As for the other ingredients. These include Protease 3.0, Protease 4.5, Protease 6.0 and Peptidase. As well as Amylase, Bromelain, Glucoamylase, Lactase, Lipase, and, Invertase among others. See label below;

Non-Exercise Related Benefits Of MassZymes

As well as the benefits for bodybuilding MassZymes also has several other good points.

• Pre-Workout Energy: Increases metabolism. Makes more Carbohydrates, Fat, and Protein available for energy burning.
• Decreases Need for Sleep and Recovery: Reduces the demands of digestive organs to break down and process foods.
• Strengthens Immune System: Clears away undigested protein from the gut which allows healthy bacteria to thrive.
• Sharpens up Clarity and Focus: Improved digestion frees up the body’s resources for improved brain function.

Then there is also; 

The Other Health Benefits of MassZymes❤

So, as mentioned already, there is an increase in the absorption of key amino acids – these include;

i.) Arginine, by up to 66.7% (key for blood flow, “pump” and testosterone)…
ii.)  Citrulline (critical for fat-burning) by 45%… and
iii.)  Tryptophan (essential for sleep, GH and recovery) by 52.5%.

Then another thing is Masszymes can help Absorb more of certain vitamins – such as;

How About MassZymes Customer Reviews

Now, for those taking MassZymes, there are what appear to be a number of credible people that have left reviews on the official website.  These I will quickly quote;

Paul Chek is the first name to appear on the list. He is the author of a book called ‘How to Eat, Move and Be Healthy. If you want to low key ask him for yourself. Don’t say I told you but he has a Facebook page. What he says is this:

“BiOptimizer products are genuinely effective for enhanced digestion, metabolism/energy production, gut health and protection, cleansing, and more. I use them every day myself”.

Then another apparent happy customer of Masszymes is Mike Westerdal from CriticalBench.com. His review;

“I take MassZymes so that I can consume less protein on a daily basis and ACTUALLY digest and absorb what I’m eating instead of flushing it down the toilet”.

As for the rest of the Masszymes reviews, there are more on their website but for actual reviews from people like me and you, another very good idea is to check Amazon.  They have 276 Reviews and an outstanding score of ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2 stars.  79% 5* reviews.  

Note: There are some negative reviews but none really are to do with the Bioptimizers range of products the biggest issue appears to be with problems on the website.

If you visit Trustpilot or BBB.org you should see what I mean…

They are mostly positive reviews though and this is why I am such a big fan myself

– it is actually a brand I can trust.

Although, then there is ‘the price’ which some people are a bit put off by.  I mean to be fair I do get this. MassZymes I think is 100% worth the money – you can also claim back a refund for up to 1-year after your purchase so this does make up for it I suppose.
