Weight Control with Enzymes

Structure of Enzymes

Enzymes are somewhat of a controversy because most patients take them orally rather than by injection. When taken orally, they do degrade in the stomach and intestines, so scientists aren’t totally sold on their efficacy. From what I have seen in the clinic, enzymes are a powerful ally.

There are basically 3 “kinds” of enzymes; digestive, metabolic and food enzymes, and because enzymes are involved in literally every physiological process there is much overlap between the three categories.

Enzymes are necessary in the breakdown of food in the gut. If you lack the enzymes to break your food down, undigested food will pass into the intestines, where it will rot and fester. It is extremely important to have the cleanest gut possible! Having rotten food in your body produces toxins, which in turn are absorbed into the blood stream, where they can settle in joint tissue, attack individual organs, and worse! For weight control, enzymes are the “gate keepers” that allow muscle and fat production and destruction, as well as insulin production and absorption. So, not having the enzymes needed for your diet will directly influence the number of fat cells in your body versus muscle cells!

Lack of enzymes also influence appetite. If you cannot digest your food because of an enzyme deficiency, your body becomes malnourished, and thinks that it is starving, so you may experience cravings for certain types of food, usually very rich foods. Supplementing with enzymes can scratch that itch too.

Raw foods are rich in food enzymes. Once foods are heated, the enzymes are degraded, and are much less effective. Increasing your intake of raw foods will increase the amount of enzymes in your body, which will assist in weight control (amoung 100′s of other things).

Enzymes also open up the metabolic pathways, especially if combined with L-Carnatine. So, if you are interested in supplementing with ezymes to help lose weight, stay healthy and slow the again process, here is what I recommend:

Amino Acid Synergy- Targets metabolism (click here…)

(Vitamin B6,  Histidine, Leucine,  Alpha-Ketoglutarate, Arginine, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Valine,  Isoleucine,  Methionine, Threonine.)

Digestzymes- Targets digestion (click here…)

(Betaine HCI, Pancreatin, Proteas,  Amylase,  Lipase,  Pepsin, Bile Extract, BioCore Carbo, Amylase,  Glucoamylase,  Invertase,  Diastase.)

(optional) Natto-Serrazime- open circulation & cleans the blood (click here…)
