 Why Systemic Enzymes
As you may know, enzymes normally found in the
body 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
Vitalzym is natural.
It contains no animal
derivatives, artificial flavors, yeast, or
gluten.
Vitalzym is lactose free and contains no harmful
talc.
Vitalzym is produced with an enterically coated enzyme.
Vitalzym’s formulation permits it to operate in
an extremely wide pH range, allowing for better
absorption in the stomach.
Vitalzym uses pure high-potency enzymes rather
than extracts.
