There are three possible places an enzyme manufacturer can get enzymes: plants (like bromelain), microbes (like the fungus-derived enzymes) and animals (usually cattle or pigs).

You’ll see many labels listing trypsin, chymotrypsin and pancreatin. These are all animal-derived enzymes.
Animal enzymes — such as those from a hog pancreas — most resemble human digestive enzymes. You might think they’re the best choice for supplements, and sometimes they are — but not always.

This is because animal digestive enzymes may or may not survive the acid in your stomach. As noted above, our own pancreas secretes most of our enzymes in the small intestine, after the food has left the stomach. The stomach has an acid environment, but the small intestine has an alkaline environment. The pancreatic enzymes — whether yours or a pig’s — were never meant to be in the stomach.

The information I’ve been able to uncover is somewhat conflicting. If you take an enzyme extracted from hog pancreas, for example, some sources say most or all of it will survive the stomach and make it into the small intestine where it goes to work.

Other sources say animal enzymes are merely inactivated, not destroyed (denatured), while in the stomach. When they get out of the stomach they become active.

You might also see labels that just list protease, amylase and lipase. That’s easy enough to understand. It means you’re getting enzymes to digest proteins, carbs and fats — a good mix that covers most of the food you eat.

When the ingredients are actually labeled “protease, amylase and lipase” it usually means the enzymes are made from a certain type of fungus called Aspergillus.

Should you be concerned about the safety of fungus-derived enzymes if you’re allergic to mold? Probably not. The enzymes are thoroughly purified and contain no whole , identifiable fungus particles that might set off an immune system reaction. If you’re extremely allergic to mold, you might want to be cautious anyway. It’s your call. But assuming you’re not allergic to fungi, this type of enzyme may be the best choice. An enzyme supplement combining bromelain, papain and Aspergillus-derived amylase, lipase and protease can be a better choice than enzymes from animals like oxen and pigs. Here’s why…

There are three main types of digestive enzymes: protein-eating enzymes (proteases or proteolytic enzymes); carbohydrate-eating enzymes (amylases); and fat-eating enzymes (lipases). A balanced enzyme formula will typically contain all three. But you can buy them separately; and, as you’ll see in a moment, sometimes there’s good reason to do that.

Within each of the big three categories you’ll find MANY different kinds of enzymes. For example, bromelain (from pineapple) and papain (from papaya) are both protein-eating enzymes or proteases. They’re very common and are in a great many enzyme supplements. They’re safe and have been used by hundreds of thousands of people for years.

Bromelain and papain are an excellent way to start on enzymes. As proteases, they belong to the most important and beneficial enzyme category for all-around good health. They’re even common in meat tenderizers, because they break down protein.

The foregoing means you’ve got two choices for increasing your enzyme intake: food and supplements. Raw, wholesome foods are by far the best choice, and the following chapter gives you some tips. But in the real world, most of us are going to take enzyme supplements rather than eat all the raw foods we should. So what’s the best way to get started?

If you read the labels on enzyme supplements, you’ll discover a long list of ingredients. Find out what the jargon means in our next post.

The third type of enzyme is metabolic enzymes. There are thousands of different kinds of metabolic enzymes in our bodies. In fact, almost nothing can happen in the human body without the help of one enzyme or another.

But metabolic enzymes are of limited interest as far as this report is concerned. To my knowledge, no manufacturer makes metabolic enzymes or urges consumers to supplement with them. Your body must make them for itself, and it will, if you’re healthy.

So this report focuses on the things you can do in the way of food and supplements. These dietary enzymes promote the health of your own pancreas and digestive system — plus your immune system . Get those right, and all the thousands of metabolic enzymes will take care of themselves.

Your pancreas is the organ that produces most of your digestive enzymes. The pancreatic enzymes are secreted into your small intestine and go to work only after your food has left the stomach and entered the first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum.

Your pancreas is Grand Central Station for enzymes. It’s a vital organ whose loss or failure will kill you. Students of enzyme therapy believe our enzyme-poor diets place a huge stress on the pancreas, thereby setting the stage for premature aging and disease.

In other words, we lack the Type One enzymes we should get from raw food so our pancreases have to do nearly all the work with Type Two enzymes, the ones we make ourselves. We wear out our pancreases, and strain our immune systems in the bargain.

By now you know enzymes can improve your health in an amazing number of ways. The next step is to decide which ones are right for you. There are three types of enzymes.

The first type is found in almost any food you eat provided it hasn’t been cooked or over-processed. Any given raw food might contain 40% to 60% of the enzymes you actually need to digest it.

Digestive enzymes are the second type. Every animal needs to digest food, and we’re no exception. Our bodies produce digestive enzymes to do the job. Scientists have identified at least 22 in humans.
As soon as you take a bite, digestion begins with enzymes in your saliva. Then, your stomach continues digestion with an enzyme called pepsin.

We’re now in the early stages of what may be an exciting breakthrough in treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. We don’t know everything we’d like to know about how enzymes control these diseases. But we know enough about the safety and efficacy of enzymes to start helping patients today, without delay.

We DO know that enzyme therapy effectively reduces the pain and immobility of both types of arthritis, speeds up healing of athletic injuries, hastens recovery after surgery, reduces the severity of MS symptoms, benefits heart and artery disease patients, and helps control cancer.

And enzymes are safe, natural foods. But you need to know what experts say about which enzymes to tak e, how and when to take them, what you can expect in terms of healing and side effects, and a few safety considerations. You’ll find it all in the next chapter.

The evidence for enzymes is vast and growing

http://www.takebackyourhealth.com

If you read the previous chapter you’re already sold on the connections among autism, food intolerances and digestive complaints. You also know enzyme therapy can be amazingly effective. Researchers also see deficient enzyme levels in patients who have cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and other diseases associated with aging and physical degeneration.

It’s a statistical fact that your risk of all these diseases goes up as you age. They’re nutritional deficiency diseases, at least in part, just as surely as scurvy is a deficiency disease caused by lack of vitamin C.
If you’ve read this far, you’ve encountered a wealth of clinical evidence that proves enzymes can slow or even reverse these diseases of age and degeneration.

Enzymes belong in your supplement cabinet, along with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and the growing number of plant compounds and chemicals that science has proven to promote good health.

Give your immune system a break

http://www.takebackyourhealth.com

Enzymes help the immune system by breaking down food particles and removing waste, thereby getting rid of the invaders that set off an inflammatory reaction.

Immune system cells also come to the rescue and digest food when we don’t have the digestive enzymes we need to do the job. Poor digestion forces our immune system to work harder in many different ways.
Enzyme supplements relieve this strain on the immune system and free up your body’s limited supply of immune cells and enzymes for more important work than digesting the hamburger you just ate.
If you don’t take enzymes, you bankrupt your enzyme budget, stretch your immune system to the limit, and put yourself at greater risk of disease.

DeFelice cites many studies that show enzyme therapy also increases white blood cell size and activity. Enzyme therapy also raises our T-cell count (another immune system cell), and helps regulate the immune system in general.

You give your immune system a major break when you supplement with enzymes or eat raw, unprocessed foods that are enzyme-rich.
