Vitalzym systemic proteolytic enzyme therapy assists the body in fighting:
Our bodies have a variety of functional units, such as a digestive system, an immune system, a cardiovascular system, and a circulatory system, just to name a few. Each system requires energy in order to perform optimally. It just so happens that enzymes provide this much needed energy for the successful completion of each biological function. The Purpose of EnzymesEnzymes are said to be the “sparks of life.” They are considered keys that can unlock the door to a healthier you because they not only help improve digestion and nutrient absorption; they are also responsible for millions of bodily functions. What exactly are enzymes? They are proteins that are responsible for every chemical reaction that goes on in your body; governing all functions related to your tissues, muscles, bones, organs, and cells. Every second of our lives, over 3,000 different enzymes are constantly renewing and changing, often at unbelievable speeds. |
The Purpose of Enzymes
Enzymes are said to be the “sparks of life.” They are considered keys that can unlock the door to a healthier you because they not only help improve digestion and nutrient absorption; they are also responsible for millions of bodily functions.
What exactly are enzymes? They are proteins that are responsible for every chemical reaction that goes on in your body; governing all functions related to your tissues, muscles, bones, organs, and cells. Every second of our lives, over 3,000 different enzymes are constantly renewing and changing, often at unbelievable speeds.
Enzymes are responsible for everyday bodily processes, such as:
- Metabolism
- Digestion
- Breathing
- Movement
- Liver function
- Immune regulation
- Viscosity of blood
- Cellular detoxification
- Energy production
- Stamina
- Ability to utilize vitamins and minerals
Enzymes have been studied since the early 1900s. Even though there is over a century's worth of information regarding their use, we still have much to learn about them. Although, one thing is for certain; life as we know it, would not exist without them.
Over the last decade, science has uncovered numerous roles for enzymes than ever thought possible, as they literally initiate millions of reactions within your body. In fact, many health care professionals are now advocating the use of enzymes for various conditions and post-operative healing.
When referring to enzymatic supplements, it's important to distinguish between those used for digestionand those used systemically.
- Digestive enzymes are taken orally with food in order to help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins for improved digestive function and nutrient absorption. Original Vitalzym can assist with digestion, but are not primarily a digestive enzyme.
- Systemic enzymes, such as those in original Vitalzym, are taken orally in between meals on an empty stomach. This way they can be absorbed by the intestines into the bloodstream where the body can utilize them for countless bodily processes.
Vitalzym Systemic Enzyme Therapy
As we age, our body's natural production of enzymes begins to slow down. Some health care professionals believe that our natural production of enzymes starts to decrease after the age of 27. It is not too long after this that many of us begin to notice symptoms of low enzyme production, which can include:
- Slow wound healing
- Increased scarring
- Poor digestion
- Fibrosis conditions
- Internal inflammation
Dr. Anthony Cichoke, enzyme authority, states in his book, Enzymes and Enzyme Therapy, that "Our body's ability to function, to repair when injured, and to ward off disease is directly related to the strength and numbers of our enzymes.” 1
Supplemental enzymes like those in Original Vitalzym, New Vitalzym andVitalzym Cardio along with proper diet and exercise can help to maintain your normal enzyme levels and balance your body's own repair mechanisms. They can also help reduce the incidence of inflammatory and fibrosis conditions.
