Are You Choosing the Right Enzyme?
Serrapeptase is a key ingredient to consider when choosing the right enzyme. To ensure maximum absorbancy without activity loss, an enteric coated delivery system is essential.
This website was created to provide information to consumers and health care professionals about enzymes, their functions, their processing in the body, and the different features and benefits of various enzyme supplements, and how they enhance and maintain health.
What Are Enzymes?
Enzymes are protein molecules, composed of long chains of amino acids. Enzymes are the biocatalysts necessary for the chemical reactions associated with breathing, growth, reproducing, digestion, and all other metabolic functions. For most people under the age of 25, enzymes are efficiently produced by the body to maintain optimal health. As we age, our body’s production of enzymes decreases. This reduction of enzyme levels may reduce the efficiency of our normal body functions. These enzymes are needed to maintain a healthy immune system, healthy joints, good circulation, and an overall balanced reaction to injury. The older we get, our need for enzyme production increases, while the amount of usable enzymes in our body is gradually depleted. Enzyme deficiency can lead to a wide variety of health problems.
What Are "Digestive" Enzymes?
Digestive enzymes work in the digestive tract where they help break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins for improved digestive function and nutrient absorption.
What Are "Systemic" Enzymes?
Systemic enzymes are those that operate throughout the body in every system and organ. Following their resorption from the gastrointestinal tract, enzymes travel to their "site of action" in the body via the bloodstream, where they ultimately become effective. This is known as the "systemic effect". The term "systemic" indicates that the agent (in this case the enzymes) is distributed throughout the entire body.
Anti-inflammatory Options When Choosing a Systemic Enzyme
| Serrapeptase | Trypsin | Chymotrypsin |
| Non-animal derived | Animal derived | Animal derived |
| Purification from culture of Serratia E-15 | Pancreatin | Pancreatin |
Serrapeptase is a naturally occurring, physiological agent with no inhibitory effects on prostaglandins and is devoid of gastrointestinal side effects. It is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the micro-organism Serratia E15. This enzyme is naturally processed commercially today through fermentation.
Serrapeptase digests non-living tissue, blood clots, cysts, and arterial plaque and inflammation in all forms. The late German physician, Dr. Hans Nieper, used Serrapeptase to treat arterial blockage in his coronary patients. Serrapeptase protects against stroke and is reportedly more effective and quicker than EDTA Chelation treatments in removing arterial plaque. He also reports that Serrapeptase dissolves blood clots and causes varicose veins to shrink or diminish.
Trypsin is a serine protease found in the digestive system of many vertebrates. Trypsin is produced in the pancreas as the inactive proenzyme trypsinogen.
Chymotrypsin is an animal derived enzyme that helps break down proteins.
