Hi I was just reading some stuff on
enzymes which all sounded pretty
convincing until found the link to
purchase some drug they where selling. I
was just wondering what the real deal is
with enzymes and how beneficial it would
be to invest in enzyme supplements and
what a good brand is.

Hi. Enzymes are an essential part of life
as they speed up chemical reactions within
the body and also help to protect from
disease etc.
In my opinion you will not need to
supplement enzymes because it is very easy
to get them from food. The best foods to
eat is raw fruits and vegetables. Raw
because the heat used during cooking tends
to kill the enzymes, but if you must cook
them, slow cook them on low heats to get
most benefit.
There are 4 different types of enzymes,
food enzymes, metabolic enzymes, digestive
enzymes, and antioxidant enzymes. All
are great for the body and all can be
easily taken from raw fruits and
vegetables as well as other foods (but
these are the best sources).

While it is true that enzymes are
essential to food digestion and also true
that enzyme production reduces with age, I
believe eating enzyme tablets is not a
good idea.
Like the others suggest, I would
re-inforce more raw foods to be eaten.
Fresh fruits and vegetables is the key.
Don't let a day go by where you only eat
processed/cooked food. You will improve
your quality of life with raw foods.
But also, I wouldnt go out and only eat
raw foods as some suggest. A balance of
raw and cooked is important.

What Are the Best Enzymes to Take? Posted: 07-20-04 07:51am
I have been looking for a good enzyme and
am not sure what is the "best" or most
effective ones to take. What factors
affect absorbtion and use in the body?
Do they go bad after extended periods of
time, are their capsules vs. Liquids? I
have found some enzymes on a site I have
purchase from, http://www.Supplementsadvisor.
Com and search for enzymes. There
are a few brands which are similar at th
local gnc. I have heard a compay called
global healthtrax has some too but I think
they are an mlm marketing scheme but not
sure. Could someone please refer a good
brand/type of enzyme for everyone.
Thanks,

First, why do you feel you need an enzyme
supplement?
