Enzymes are proteins, which are required by every cell in the human body to function properly and efficiently. They help the body with digestion, metabolism, cell repair, and help fight infections.

In addition to these effects, enzymes play a role in our ability to see, hear, taste, breathe, and move. The modern diet has placed an unwanted load on our bodies in that we eat too many foods, which don't have any active enzymes in them. Basically, all foods start out with enzymes which could aid in digestion, but the cooking and processing we do destroys the enzymes. Supplemental enzymes are used extensively in other countries to help with a variety of different medical conditions. Enzymes are necessary to turn the food we eat into an energy source we can use.

The enzymes we recommend exclusively are derived from plant sources and have a broader range of activity than enzymes from animal sources. Our enzymes are much more potent than those found in most health food stores and are active in more of the gastro-intestinal system because they function over a broader range of acidic conditions.

Enzymes are necessary to prevent proteins from putrefying, fats from turning rancid, and carbohydrates from fermenting in our digestive system.

Enzymes help to deliver nutrients and vitamins to the body.

Enzymes purify the blood by breaking down proteins, and accomplish this because most impurities or invaders are protein in nature.

Enzymes strengthen our immune systems by helping to carry away waste products and deliver nutrients.

Enzymes break down fats, thus helping to balance the lipids in our bodies and help to take stress off other organ symptoms such as our gallbladder, liver, and pancreas.

Enzymes help to cleanse the colon by getting rid of excessive amounts of undigested foods.

Enzymes also play a role in helping to maintain proper body weight.

Enzymes have been used in Europe to treat arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, to improve athletic performance, and to promote healing after injuries.
