What Are Enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in your body. This means that enzymes speed up the
chemical reactions that make all of your metabolic and biochemical processes possible. Without
enzymes, those reactions would not happen fast enough to sustain life. Our bodies rely on
enzymes to help us digest the foods we eat, eliminate wastes, repair damaged tissues, and other
essential functions.
Enzyme Supplements
Our bodies naturally produce thousands of enzymes so you may ask why supplemental enzymes
might be necessary. Stress, illness, injury, and the aging process can rob our bodies of the ability
to produce enough of the enzymes we need. Raw foods contain enzymes that help our digestive
systems break down those foods, however the cooking process destroys those enzymes. Taking
enzyme supplements can replenish the supply of enzymes you need for optimal health and
wellness.
Enzyme supplements can aid digestion, support your immune system, and help your body
recovery from injury or illness. Two of the main types of beneficial enzymes found in
supplements are systemic proteolytic enzymes and digestive enzymes.
Systemic and Proteolytic Enzymes for Whole Body Support
Proteolytic or protease enzymes are often called systemic enzymes because they work in systems
of the body outside the digestive system. These protein-digesting enzymes help rid the body of
impurities in the blood, joints, and tissues that cause inflammation, delay healing, and
compromise the immune system. A supplement containing systemic enzymes helps the body
eliminate damaged proteins throughout the body.
Some of the most common systemic and proteolytic enzymes found in supplements that support
whole body health include:
Bromelain: A protein digesting enzyme sourced from pineapple
Papain: A protease enzyme that comes from papaya fruit
Trypsin: A proteolytic enzyme naturally produced by the pancreas
Some of the benefits of supplementing your diet with enzymes for protein digestion are:
supporting a healthy immune system, helping to control inflammation, assisting the body as it
recovers from illness or injury, and naturally cleansing the blood and tissues.
Digestive Enzymes For Bloating, Gas, and Stomach Problems
Digestive enzymes work in the digestive system to break food molecules down into nutrients and
to help change those nutrients into energy. Natural digestive enzyme supplements support whole
digestion and help your body get more out of the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients you eat.
Digestive enzyme supplements can benefit those with digestion problems such as gas, bloating,
and heartburn. The most common digestive enzymes found in supplements include:
Cellulase: A digestive enzyme that breaks down cellulose (vegetables and fruits)
Lactase: A digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose (a sugar found in milk)
Amylase: A digestive enzyme that breaks down (potatoes and cereal grains)
Lipase: A digestive enzyme that breaks down fats (animal and vegetable fats)
