Enzymes are energised protein molecules and play an essential role in virtually all of the biochemical activities that go on in the bodyThey are essential for digesting food, for stimulating the brain, for providing cellular energy and for repairing all tissues, organs and cellsLife as we know it could not exist without the action of enzymes, We need enzymes to surviveEven in the presence of sufficient amounts of vitamins, minerals, water and other nutrients.
In their primary role enzymes are catalysts, substances behind the hundreds of thousands of biochemical reactions in the body controlling life’s processes
Each individual enzyme has a specific function in the bodyDigestive enzymes break down food particles for storage in the liver or musclesEnzymes in the blood help coagulation to stop bleedingUricolytic enzymes catalyse the conversion of uric acid into ureaRespiratory enzymes facilitate carbon dioxide elimination from the lungsEnzymes also assist the kidneys, liver, lungs, colon and skin in removing wastes and toxins from the body
Enzymes use ingested nutrients to construct new tissue, cells, bone and skinThey also promote the oxidation of glucose creating energy for the cells and protecting the blood from dangerous waste products by converting these toxins to substances that are easily eliminatedIndeed, the sheer number of enzymes and their functions are so many and so diverse it would be impossible to name them all here.
