Martha's Vineyard Inn Holistic Reteat.  The Bed and Breakfast Alternative!

Enzyme Therapy

Finally, thanks to the advances of technology, scientists have concluded that most people succumb to ailments and illness due to weakened immune systems. What weakens the immune system? Stress, poor nutrition, drugs (prescription or illegal), chemical pollution and, most of all lack of particular enzymes!

If you removed all enzymes from the body it would stop working and die. Enzymes are responsible for the function of every organ. The body is an efficient chemical factory, and enzymes are used in every chemical action and reaction.

Enzymes are supplements designed to aid the body by enhancing the digestive process to utilize the many vitamins and minerals available in food. They are the body's natural helpers in breaking down essential nutrients needed for cell repair and growth.

There are four major sub-groups of enzymes, as defined by the type of food they break down:

1. PROTEASE - Protein-splitting enzymes, which break down proteins into amino acids.

2. AMYLASE - Starch/carbohydrate-splitting enzymes which break down carbohydrates into simple sugars.

3. LIPASE - fat-slitting enzymes which break down fats into essential fatty acids and smaller chains of fatty acids like triglycerides.

4. CELLULASE - Cellulose-splitting enzymes which break down fiber which would otherwise remain intact in the digestive tract.

Enzymes play a critical role in the body’s overall health by processing the extra vitamins and minerals you max’ be taking to return the body to a balanced, harmonious state.
