Essentials of Enzymes

Enzymes work with your immune system to bring back your natural vitality. A wide array of these enzymes is absolutely essential to lead a robust, active life. Your body naturally produces its own supply of enzymes, but with age enzyme production slows and your supply dwindles.

Extensive clinical and scientific research has shown a very strong connection between aging, how the body manages inflammation, and how inflammation is linked to many chronic degenerative diseases. Enzymes rebalance your body's inflammatory response, and fine-tune the repair processes necessary to recover from injury and disease.

For chronic aches and pains, most of us have learned to reach for an aspirin, ibuprofen or other over-the-counter drugs, despite the side effects. Aspirin can cause microscopic bleeding in the stomach, leading to ulcerations and other gastrointestinal problems. Ibuprofen can blur your vision, make your ears ring and, ironically, aggravate the headaches and swelling you're trying to ease. And they don't even fix the problem - they just cover it up. A small shift in thinking could help you avoid the aches and discomfort, and the painkillers that can cause long-term side effects.

Professional athletes and "weekend warriors" know that after an injury or muscle strain, damaged blood vessels cause swelling as a signal to the body to prevent further abuse. With adequate rest, the injury would normally heal, but who wants to wait? The sooner you can recover, the better.

No matter what the injury, your body requires increased quantities of enzymes. Many people suffer from a chronic "itis" - arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, sinusitis, tinnitus, prostatitis, cystitis, pancreatitis, ulcerative colitis, thrombophlebitis. They may also be exposed to "miracle-itis" - that is, the new so-called "miracle cures" that offer loads of hype but little help. Scientists may be on the verge of discovering miracles, but until then, we know of no magic bullet that can beat a good long-term nutritional strategy.
