Enzymes for life support! Thousands of different enzymes are required for the thousands of different molecules in living cells to engage in reactions. Enzyme activity is truly holistic, they act together as co-enzymes or as co-factors with vitamins, minerals and trace minerals to optimize body efficiency. Enzymes work with various systems of the body (digestive, circulatory, nervous, immune, endocrine, and reproductive) to help them function. There are three major classes of enzymes: Metabolic Enzymes are active in blood, tissues and organs. They help to build phosphorus in our bones and attach iron to red blood cells. They also assist in reproduction and the repair of damage and decay. Digestive Enzymes (protease, amylase, lipase) are produced by the body to ensure optimum digestion and assimilate of nutrients. As we age, the production of these natural enzymes begin to decline. Food Enzymes are naturally present in all raw foods. They present an external source of digestive enzymes. Food enzymes are easily destroyed by cooking and processing methods. Digestive enzymes won't catalyse just any old reaction - each particular enzyme can only bind to one specific food substrate or molecule. Proteases convert protein into amino acids; amylases break down carbohydrate to simple sugars and lipases split fat into fatty acids.

A Shortage of Enzymes Can Spell Trouble

Raw foods
Our body was never intended to produce all the enzymes needed for proper digestion. Nature packed raw foods with another class of enzymes - food enzymes, which happen to be many of the same enzymes necessary for breaking down the foods that contain them. Eating a diet of raw foods would supply us with many of the digestive enzymes needed but such a diet would be almost impossible in our modern society. Enzymes are fragile and very heat-sensitive. Cooking (boiling, steaming, baking, frying, microwaving) even at low temperatures can diminish or destroy enzyme activity.

Aging
There is a limited number of enzymes that humans can produce in a lifetime. The older you get, the more your body relies on enzymes from food. If our diets are deficient, our bodies are forced to take metabolic enzymes from other parts of the body. These are the very enzymes that are needed for proper functioning of body organs and systems, so the more we deplete our body's natural enzyme reserves, the more we jeopardize our health.

Other Factors
Environmental toxins can affect the functioning, quality and activity of enzymes. Stress, illness, injury, caffeine, alcohol are just some of the factors that can overtax the body's enzyme supply. Any increase in metabolism (from digestion, detoxification, fever and exercise) is accompanied by an increase in enzyme activity. It is easy to have a shortfall!

So how do we get enough enzymes? Take enzyme supplements - they provide the catalyst that will allow our bodies to function at its peak.

What Digestive Enzymes Can Accomplish…

Alleviate Digestive Complaints Gas, bloating, nausea, body aches, etc. may be attributed to poor digestion. These may be clues that you are already enzyme-deficient, symptoms are varied and often subtle. Adding supplemental enzymes to your diet can also protect you from the discomfort of indigestion.

The more enzymes you have in reserve, the stronger your immune system, and the better your health is. Bolstering the body's supply of enzymes allows the immune system to discover and destroy disease-causing microorganisms and toxins before they do any harm. An abundant supply of enzymes can take care of the delicate check-and-balance system in the body. This ensures that our own white blood cells do not turn against us which could lead to autoimmune problems.

Reduce Weight & Trim Bulges Enzymes encourage efficient metabolism. This helps you avoid false hunger and cravings that come with digestive problems, allowing weight loss to occur naturally and steadily.

Promote Cardiovascular Health

When vital organs don't receive proper nourishment from the blood, they become ill and inefficient. So does the rest of you. Digestive enzymes may be the key to a longer, healthier lifespan. Regular supplementation can reduce the formation of artery-clogging fatty deposits.

Other Benefits

Joints and muscles require adequate amounts of nutrients in order to function. With enzymes, you can remove the "rust" from your joints and muscles and enjoy pain-free youthful flexibility once again. An adequate supply of enzymes can also help maintain the health and attractiveness of your skin by increasing the supply of skin-enhancing nutrients essential for cell repair and rejuvenation.
