Digestive Enzymes.JPG (382659 bytes)Dr. Edward Howell is one of America's pioneering biochemists and nutrition researchers.  Called the "father of food enzymes," he spent more than 50 years doing research and experimentation on food and soil enzymes.  His book Enzyme Nutrition is a classic in the enzyme research field.  Here are a few of his thoughts on the importance of enzymes.

Enzymes are also the life force in living plants, but when this food is cooked and consumed the enzymes are destroyed by heat, and the body must expend its resources to produce enzymes to digest and assimilate it.

*  This process is continually exhausting the body's enzyme potential and limiting enzymes for other critical functions.

*  Our bodies contain a certain enzyme potential and as this potential nears exhaustion, chronic disease becomes inevitable and ultimately death occurs.  

*  Eating foods with their enzymes intact and supplementing cooked foods with enzyme capsules can stop abnormal and pathological aging processes.

*  As a result, symptoms are alleviated and the response of the bodily immune system is strengthened.

How Digestive Enzyme Supplements Can Help

All raw food naturally contains the proper types and proportion of enzymes necessary to digest it.  But most food enzymes are essentially destroyed at the temperatures used to cook and process food, leaving foods devoid of digestive enzyme activity.  Placing the full digestive burden on the body, the body's digestive process can become over-stressed.  Digestive problems can result.  consequences of malabsorption can include:

  • Impaired immunity
  • Allergies
  • Poor wound healing
  • Skin problems
  • Mood swings
  • Fatigue

Supplemental enzymes assure that the maximum level of nutrient absorption is attained, helping to eliminate the stress on the body's natural digestive process, improve digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Most people are unaware that without digestive enzymes, their cells would literally starve.

Digestion takes place when enzymes interact with the complex molecules that make up food.  Enzymes make digestion possible.  Ideally, they come from two sources, those found in the food itself, and those produced by the body.

As many as twenty million Americans suffer from various digestive disorders, and supplemental enzymes can improve digestion and help assure that the maximum level of nutrient absorption is attained.

What We Have Learned

1.  Enzymes are proteins that function as catalysts or accelerators in the body.

2.  All biochemical reactions within the human body, including energy production, metabolism, reproduction, the immune system and the digestive system require enzymes.

3.  There are thousands of different enzymes that regulate bodily functions and these body functions would not be possible were it not for enzymes.  Simply put, without enzymes, life could not exist.

4.  Enzymes can be grouped into three categories:  metabolic enzymes, digestive enzymes and food enzymes.

5.  Metabolic enzymes are the enzymes made within the cells of the body to perform specialized tasks required for life and health.

6.  We must be sure that nothing interferes with the body making enough of these highly specialized metabolic enzymes by minimizing exposure to toxins and providing the body with all the nutrient co-factors necessary for proper enzyme functions.
