Science

• Enzymes are like little hatchets that break up large molecules into their simplest form that can be utilized by cells.
• Foods carry their own enzymes. Due to a number of factors such as eating too fast or the wrong foods, enzyme potential is significantly impaired. It is very important to supplement with enzymes daily in order to maximize the nutritional value of the foods we eat.
• Today’s mass produced foods lack nutritional value including natural enzymes whose job is to break down food into small particles to nourish each and every one of our cells.

What are enzymes?

Enzymes are molecules which make life possible. They are needed for every chemical reaction that occurs in our body. Neither vitamin, mineral, nor hormones could do any work without enzymes. They function as organic catalysts, in other words, they either start chemical reactions or make them run faster. They accomplish this while remaining unchanged themselves.

Is supplementation really necessary?

The enzymes naturally present in food play an important role in digestion by helping to predigest the ingested food in the upper stomach before hydrochloric acid has even been secreted. This predigestion is hindered when food is cooked or processed because the enzymes are destroyed by the processing procedures. By placing the full digestive burden on the body, the digestive process can become over-stressed and incomplete. As a result, vital nutrients may not be released from the food for assimilation by the body, and gastrointestinal problems may result.

How do enzymes aid in digestion?

Enzymes are an integral part of the digestive process. From the time food enters the mouth, enzymes are at work breaking the food down into smaller and smaller units until it can be absorbed through the intestinal wall. These enzymes come from two sources, those found in the food itself, and those produced in the body. Modern food processing techniques and all types of cooking destroy nearly 100% of the enzymes naturally occurring in food.
