What Is An Enzyme?
An enzyme is a type of complex protein that catalyses chemical reactions so that they would occur speedily. Enzymes are involved in every process of the body. It is vital in maintaining normal body functions such as digestion of food, removal of wastes and toxins, purification of blood, and repairing of cells. The importance of enzyme in our body is reflected by a variety of diseases that are now known to be associated with deficiencies or malfunctions of enzymes.

Where Can We Find Enzymes?
There are approximately a few thousands types of enzymes in our body, yet each one has a specific function. Examples are digestive enzymes which play a vital role in the digestion of food. The human body also produces enzymes, for food digestion and metabolism. When food is cooked and heated above 48 C or 118 F, all food-enzymes are destroyed. For those who do not or seldom take raw food, a good alternative way of ensuring sufficient level of enzymes in the body is by consuming enzyme supplements.

Why Do We Need Enzyme Supplementation?
Human body's digestive system is equipped to secrete enzymes that help to break down fats, proteins and carbohydrates into smaller units that can be easily absorbed into the blood stream. However, it is to be remembered that we inherited an enzyme reserve at birth and this quantity can be decreased as we age by eating an enzyme deficient diet, due to emotional stress and several other factors. The faster we use up this enzyme potential, the shorter our lives are. All of these factors, coupled with insufficient intake of dietary enzymes, the body has to continously utilise the enzyme reserve from organs and tissues, thus slowing down the process of metabolism. The foods that do not get digested properly can cause toxic reactions, leading to overloading of organs of the digestive system and development of illnesses.

It would be wiser to conserve enzymes and get enzyme reinforments from the outside to cut down the secretion of digestive enzymes and allow the body to make enough metabolic enzymes to promote regeneration of damaged cells.

When Do You Need Enzyme Supplementation?
Have you ever experienced symptoms like bloating, stomach discomfort, lethargy, gas in the stomach, or even heartburn? If the answer is `yes', your body may be short of enzymes.

What Is BioZymes?
BioZymes is a unique enzyme formula by Japan containing multiple digestive enzymes such as Papain, Bromelain, Lipase, Glucoamlyse and Cellulase. This combination of enzymes helps to maintain body's vital digestive functions, relieve constipation, promote metabolism, and relieve toxin accumulation caused by inadequate digestion. It is especially suitable for busy working adults.

Papain and Bromelain are enzyme derived from papaya and pineapple respectively. Both of these enzymes function as a proteolytic enzymes(proteases) that assist in the break down of proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Other than being a digestive aid, proteolytic enzymes are also widely used for their anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties.

Lipase helps to digest fats, whereas Glucoamylase and Cellulase will digest carbohydrates and soluble fiber respectively. BioZymes offers a complete range of enzymes that work together effectively to help restore energy, stamina and vitality.

BioZymes is kept fresh using Imo Oligo as base so as to further promote and strengthen the balance of beneficial flora in the gastro-intestinal tract. Imo Oligo can multiple the quantity of BIFUDUS tremendously within weeks up to 100 times which will effectively combat the harmful microorganisms in the gut.

Are Enzyme Preparations Safe?
Enzymes are generally well-tolerated and are not associated with any significant side effects. However, as with most therapeutic agents, allergic reactions may occur. Individuals who are allergic to pineapple, papaya or any of the ingredients should avoid taking this preparations.

Can Taking Enzymes Actually Improve Digestion?
Yes, in fact, using enzyme preparations to support proper digestive function is used commonly in cases like pancreatic insufficiency and cystic fibrosis (a rare inherited disorder). Pancreatic insufficiency is characterized by impaired digestion, malabsorption, nutrient deficiencies and abdominal discomfort.

Who Should Take This Preparations?
Nearly every person can benefit from supplementing with BioZymes. It is especially of value to the following groups of people.

a) Busy working adults: Hectic lifestyle has caused many people unable to have proper diets or regular meals. Enzymes are destroyed by processing, refinement and oxidation. Supplementation is, therefore, an easy way to ensure enough amounts available for the body. Even with sufficient nutrients and vitamins, without enzymes, our body will not function as effectively.

b) Those with indigestion problems: You may have problem of gaining weight regardless of how much you eat. By taking BioZymes, it helps to improve digestion, ensures optimum absorption of nutrients and subsequently conversion of nutrients into energy.

c) Sufferers of chronic disease: Long-term ailments or diseases may lead to digestive disorder or malnutrition. Supplementing enzymes help to solve these problems.

d) Those who are overweight: Supplementing enzymes helps promote metabolic reaction in the body and converts excessive fats into energy.

How Does It Taste Like? Do You Mix In Water, Juice Or Milk?
It can also be mixed with juice, milk or sprinkle onto fruits and foods.
