When we eat a meal, the requirements for digestive enzymes become a high priority. Our body’s enzyme-making machinery must work overtime and often still cannot meet the demand for all of the enzyme requirements the body may have. Since digestion always takes precedence over nearly everything else, many body functions requiring metabolic enzymes are often shortchanged during these times. The result is a lower disease-fighting capability and a general weakening of the body’s ability to mend itself. Because, over the years, we use up so much of our enzyme potential making the digestive enzymes necessary to digest our food, as we age we begin to run short; our ability to keep up with the digestive enzyme requirements begins to suffer. This deficiency leads to malabsorption and poor nutrition, plus the many digestive problems suffered by the elderly.
Poorly digested protein putrifies, fats turn rancid and carbohydrates ferment. These undigested food particles leak back into the bloodstream from the colon and create further toxicity. As we use up and abuse our enzyme potential, we begin to loose energy, lose our ability to fight disease, and lose the ability for our body to remedy its own naturally occurring malfunctions. This loss may lead to disease and eventually death. When we provide the body with supplemental digestive enzymes to support the digestive process, we prevent over-stressing the body’s enzyme-making potential. A metabolic enzyme shortage is less likely to occur and our body will be in a much more favorable position to fight biologic and genetic malfunctions.
Using too much of our enzyme potential to produce digestive enzymes limits our ability to produce metabolic enzymes making us susceptible to disease and aging.
