enzymes, life could not exist.
Why Systemic Enzymes
As you may know, enzymes are the essential building blocks of life. They are key
to the body’s ability to properly digest and benefit from the food we eat, and
they provide the energy we use to rebuild muscles, cells, nerves, tissue, bone,
and glands. As such, these enzymes spark the chemical reactions responsible for
breathing, digestion, growth, reproduction, and most other body functions.
Dr. Max Wolf, M.D., who researched enzymes and hormones at Columbia University
from the 1930's through the 1960's, determined that enzyme production diminishes
in humans after age 27. While humans have historically supplemented their enzyme
levels by consuming fresh, raw foods, modern preservation and preparation
techniques often destroy the enzymes these foods contain. Combined, these
conditions create an enzyme deficiency that causes our bodies and normal body
functions to break down.
What does this mean? It means we must supplement our diets with systemic enzymes
– those that offer system-wide benefits – just as we supplement the
vitamins, minerals, and herbs that are essential for good health.
Definition of enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, speeding the rate at which
biochemical reactions proceed but not altering the direction or nature of the
reactions. Enzymes are found in every cell of every living plant and animal,
including humans. As biocatalysts, they either begin a reaction or cause a
reaction to speed up. Without enzymes, life would not exist.
The enzymatic process
Enzymes work by virtue of their shape. An enzyme molecule can be compared, in
shape at least, to many short strings of pearls (amino acids) strung together.
This long string folds in on itself as certain sequences of amino acids are more
attracted to each other than to other sequences, thus giving the enzymes a
specific shape.
At one point on the surface of this string of pearls there exists something
resembling a keyhole. This is called the "active site" on the enzyme.
When matched with its specific coenzyme (a vitamin, mineral, or trace element),
this "lock" has the exact inverse contour of the "key"
contained in the molecule of the enzyme's "substrate" (the molecule
that the enzyme wants to transform into a different molecule). When the
substrate appears, it inserts the "key" into the "lock." The
molecular structure of the substrate is transformed into a different molecular
structure and both enzyme and the newly transformed molecule are free to part.
Systemic enzyme therapy
Systemic enzyme therapy utilizes enzyme supplementation to increase the enzymes
throughout the body to assist in restoring the body to health.

Vitalzym Highlights
| Serrapeptase |
Also known as Serratia
peptidase; a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the non-pathogenic
enterobacteria Serratia E15. Serrapeptase has been shown to be one of the
most fibrinolytic enzymes available today. |
| Protease |
Any enzyme that catalyzes the
splitting of proteins into smaller peptide fractions and amino acids by a
process known as proteolysis. |
| Bromelain |
An enzyme found in pineapples
that breaks down other proteins, such as collagen. |
| Papain |
A proteolytic enzyme obtained
from unripe papaya. |
| Amylase |
Any of a group of proteins
found in saliva and pancreatic juice and parts of plants, Amylase digests
carbohydrates and helps convert starch to sugar. |
| Lipase |
Lipase digests fat. It is an
enzyme secreted in the digestive tract that catalyzes the breakdown of
fats into individual fatty acids that can be absorbed into the
bloodstream. |
| Amla |
Amla is the richest source of
Vitamin C. It also contains tannic acid, glucose, protein, cellulose and
calcium. Amla is considered to have restorative and preventive properties. |
| Rutin |
One of the many existing
flavonoids. Flavonoids support health by strengthening capillaries and
other connective tissue. |
