Enzymes: foundation of health

Digest, absorb, nourish

Digestion is the process by which the food we eat is broken down, simplified and assimilated in the digestive tract. Then, they are absorbed to adequately nourish and provide the necessary energy to our hundred thousand billion cells.

It is thanks to enzymes that this entire digestive process is made possible, day after day. An enzyme is a valuable biocatalyst or organic 'igniter'. It is the most delicate, fragile and important element of Mother Nature. The human that we are is an integrated and ordered succession of enzymatic reactions.

Doctors and researchers like Dr. Howell, Dr. Loomis, Dr. Wigmore affirm that enzymes and enzymatic activity are intimately linked to the vitality and health of our entire body. According to them and many others, it is imperative to protect or, failing that, to regain its enzymatic potential.

Stock up on enzymes

Where are enzymes found? In raw, live foods only. For example, fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouts, lactofermentations, etc. We maintain life with life, right?

What can destroy enzymes? Junk food, cooking, microwaving, canning, pasteurization, irradiation, pesticides, pollution, preservatives, chronic stress by inhibiting digestive secretions, certain medications, aging, etc. . As a result of a lack of enzymes in our digestive system, it can result in incomplete digestion, poor absorption of nutrients, gas, bloating, intestinal irregularity, development of a leaky gut with increased inflammation , skin problems, increased risk of chronic diseases, etc.

To avoid food intolerances

In the presence of these conditions, everything points to an increase in food intolerances and allergies. Nowadays, there are more and more dietary restrictions, including intolerance to gluten and dairy products.

From its complete line of targeted enzyme formulas, the Natural Factors company offers Relief-Zyme. This is a high concentration formulation with DPP-IV* activity, which contains a unique blend of enzymes to promote more complete digestion of wheat, gluten, dairy proteins. DPP-IV also facilitates the absorption of nutrients in people who are more sensitive to this type of food.
