Metabolic Enzymes
speed up the chemical reaction within the cells for detoxification and
energy production. They enable us to see, hear, feel, move an d think.
Every organ, every tissue, and 100 trillion cells in our body depend upon
the reaction of metabolic enzymes and their energy factors. Metabolic
enzymes are produced by the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and other organs.
Digestive Enzymes
are secreted along the digestive tract to break down into nutrients
and waste. This allows nutrients to be absorbed into the blood stream and
the waste to be discarded. Human digestive enzymes include ptyalin,
pepsin, trysin, lipase, protease, and amylase. The body does not make
cellulase, an enzyme necessary for proper digestion of fiber, so it must
be introduced through the raw foods we eat.
Food Enzymes are
introduced to the body through the raw foods we eat and through
consumption of supplemental enzyme fortifiers. Raw foods naturally contain
enzymes providing a source of digestive enzymes when ingested. However,
raw foods manifests only enough enzymes to digest that particular food,
not enough to be stored in the body for later use.. The cooking and
processing of food destroys all of its enzymes. Since most of the foods we
eat are cooked or processed in some way and since the raw foods we do eat
contain only enough enzymes to process that particular food, our bodies
must produce the majority of the digestive enzymes we require. For these
reasons it is recommended that we supplement our diet with enzymes.
When comparing enzyme products
it is important to note that there are fillers on the label. Fillers can
be many things including leftover fibers or cellulose. Enzymedica uses NO
FILLERS in any of its enzyme formulations! Looking at the label of an
Enzymedica product, you will find measurement units you may not be
familiar with These are from the Food Chemical Codex (FCC). The FCC is
published by the National Academy Press and is the accepted standard of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The system for determining enzyme
potency used by the American food industry is derived from the FCC. This
is the ONLY National Standard for evaluation of plant enzymes. This system
establishes activity levels and potency for enzymes.
A variety of supplemental
enzymes are available through different sources. It is important to make
sure you are using an enzyme supplement which will meet your particular
needs.
