To quote Dr. Edward Howell, the father of enzyme research, "The length of life is inversely proportional to the rate of exhaustion of the enzyme potential of an organism." Simply put, without enzymes the body will die. Enzymes are the secret to your longevity! Enzymes are the key components of life and found prevalent in all living tissue. Inside the cells enzymes perform their actions by mobilizing electrons, protons, atoms and molecules for all the miraculous living processes they direct.
To get down to some basics, an enzyme is essentially a protein molecule that magically speeds up all kinds of chemical reactions. Without enzymes, chemical reactions would happen so slowly that life as we know it would not be possible. As a matter of fact it wouldn't exist at all, as it takes life to create life.
There are six major functions to systemic enzymes. They reduce inflammation with no side effect. They have an anti-fibrotic capability. They help modulate the immune system. They are crucial in cleaning the blood. Enzymes provide powerful antioxidant protection for the body. And enzymes have the ability to fend off viruses and other microbes.
Our formula All Xymatic Relief is using an active delivery system based on the gate mechanisms that exist within the small intestines. The delivery requires the knowledge and understanding of the energetic environment, as well as the chemical environment which includes the cofactors and co-enzymes as well as pH, fatty acids and hormones to get the enzymes into your circulatory system. Unlike digestive enzymes, enzymes used for systemic purposes must be absorbed into the bloodstream in order to be effective.
One of the most fascinating properties of enzymes is their ability to work with each other to form cooperative complexes when necessary, and to continually exchange information with other enzyme cooperative complexes. The equilibrium of all systems is maintained by a mutual effort toward a common goal, one of the many extraordinary and positive properties of enzymes.
The comprehension of this cooperative function of all enzymes for the common good should inspire us. Enzymes when combined properly work consecutively in steps one after another, in so-called enzyme cascades, in order to perform important, complex tasks within the body and thus maintain the system in an ideal state between excess and deficiency. Because of the sequencing in the body, the timing goes along with the body's energy systems similar to what we see and understand in Chinese medicine with the body clock and the organ correlations and the associations with time and energy.
Although enzymes stimulate a variety of chemical reactions, they can do so only in association with smaller molecules called co-enzymes and co-factors. Co-factors are inorganic substances that must be present for an enzyme to function. Minerals such as zinc, magnesium, calcium and boron are some of these factors. And co-enzymes are vitamins like B Vitamins and Vitamin C. When the enzymes combine with the co-enzymes and co-factors, they form nearly 100,000 various chemicals. And this is what allows us to see, hear, feel, move, digest and think. So all the processes in the body require enzymes.
We get the right combination of cofactors and co-enzymes when we take the Mind and Body Tonic, the EFA Complete with the All Xymatic Relief on a daily basis. We get all the complementary components to orchestrate the magic of enzymes.
