Omega-Zyme Questions & Answers What are enzymes and why do I need them? Enzymes are protein-like substances that help maintain the body's tissues, orchestrate its functions and digest food. There are three kinds of enzymes: Metabolic enzymes spark many of the reactions inside cells, enabling our organs, tissues and cells to work properly. Food enzymes supplied by what we eat help break down food before our digestive enzymes are called upon. Food enzymes are destroyed at temperatures above 118 degrees, so all cooked and processed foods are devoid of them. Digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas break down the nutrients in the foods we eat. Enzymes are perhaps our most important nutrients. When we eat raw foods, we consume the enzymes they contain, making them easy to digest. However, when we eat cooked or processed foods, the body must create the enzymes necessary to digest them. This constant demand for enzymes depletes our supply, strains the body and enlarges the pancreas. Since enzymes are destroyed once they complete their tasks, we must constantly replenish our supply for life to continue. The best ways to get the enzymes you need are to consume a diet high in "live" raw and fermented foods, and to consume a high-potency digestive enzyme supplement such as Omega-Zyme™. What are live enzyme supplements? The plant-based enzymes in Omega-Zyme supplement have been formulated along with fermented ginger, tumeric, barley grass and cat's claw. These ingredients, long revered for their natural ability to enhance digestion, have been fermented utilizing our proprietary Poten-Zyme™ process. This process results in the creation of natural "live" enzymes and beneficial microorganisms that increase the bio-availability of the enzyme blend in Omega-Zyme. What's in Omega-Zyme™ supplement?
