What are Systemic and Proteolytic Enzymes?
Enzymes are essential to all of your metabolic processes. Proteolytic enzymes (proteases) work
to break proteins down into amino acids in systems throughout the body. Proteolytic enzymes are
sometimes called systemic enzymes for this reason. In the stomach and small intestines,
proteases act as digestive enzymes that help you break down the proteins that you eat. In the
muscles, joints, and tissues, proteolytic enzymes help break down proteins that weaken the
immune system and cause inflammation and pain.
Common Proteolytic Enzymes Found in Supplements
Systemic enzyme supplements replenish stores of enzymes that are depleted by chronic illness,
stress, injury, poor diet, and the aging process. Some of the most beneficial proteolytic enzymes
found in supplements include:
Bromelain (found in pineapple)
Chymotrypsin
Pancreatin
Papain (from papaya)
Trypsin
The Benefits of Protease Enzymes
Anyone who needs immune system support or support in recovery from an injury may benefit
from a systemic supplement containing proteolytic enzymes. Supplements containing proteolytic
enzymes offer a variety of other possible benefits, including:
Immune system support
Reduction of inflammation
Support the body’s natural healing process after surgery or injury
Promote joint health and flexibility
Support a healthy circulatory system
Detoxification of the blood and tissues
Why Take Systemic Enzyme Supplements
There are a variety of reasons why a person might benefit from a systemic enzyme dietary
supplement containing proteases:
Anyone who wants to support complete digestion and absorption of the proteins in your
diet, particularly those who are heavy meat eaters, could benefit from a supplement
containing proteolytic enzymes.
Older people also may consider taking a supplement because our bodies naturally
produce fewer enzymes as we age.
The pancreas produces protease enzymes so pancreatic ailments can lead to a deficiency
of proteolytic enzymes.
Certain other chronic illnesses and diseases can cause us to have low levels of enzymes.
Those who have a compromised immune system or who are recovering from illness
could benefit from taking a systemic enzyme supplement.
Modern diets that are heavy on cooked and processed foods do not supply us with the proteolytic
enzymes we need for optimal health. If you think you may have low enzyme levels because of
stress, aging, illness, or injury, a supplement may help you.
