Protease, which acts on protein in food, acts differently in the tissues of the body than it does in the digestive tract. Research shows that proteolytic enzymes taken on an empty stomach can help ease inflammation, help strengthen immunity and help enhance tissue repair. Proteases can also help detoxify the blood and help regulate the effect of hormones, which promotes healthy functioning of all systems throughout the body.

Protease also includes calcium to help prevent the depletion of intracellular calcium that may result from the presence of this highly active blend of proteases in the blood.

While the term “organic” may carry with it a certain perception that anything labeled as such is pure and flawless, cooked and processed organic foods can’t be digested any easier than their non-organic counterparts.

Organic food advocates claim that organically grown foods are healthier because they are not raised with non-organic methods such as pesticides, non-organic fertilizers, antibiotics and hormones. However, during cooking and processing, organic foods lose vitamins and food enzymes, just as non-organic foods do.

Food enzymes, which are natural enzymes that both organic and non-organic raw foods possess, begin the process of breaking down food when you start chewing. When the food reaches the stomach and small intestine, half of the work has already been done, allowing food nutrients to be more easily and completely absorbed. But when food enzymes are cooked and processed out, the body must use more of its own enzyme resources to compensate. Improperly broken down food often leads to indigestion, gas, and bloating. And with the body working overtime, you may also feel fatigued after you finish eating.

To maximize the nutritional value of organic food, supplement your diet with a daily vitamin, probiotics, and a broad-spectrum digestive enzyme supplement, which helps break down any type of food and replace lost food enzymes.
