Enzyme Choices
"Dynamic Amylase": Assists in digestion of carbohydrates / polysaccharides into smaller disaccharide units, eventually converting them into monosaccharides such as glucose. "Dynamic Lipase": Assists in digestion of fat and fat-soluble vitamins. "Dynamic Protease Broad Spectrum": Assists in protein digestion. "DynamicZyme": Multiple Enzyme Formula with Protease. For optimum health, use a multiple enzyme formula daily with your meals. Health NOTE: Individuals with extreme cases of Gastritis, Gastric or Duodenal Ulcers should begin their Enzyme Supplementation with a multiple enzyme formula WITHOUT Protease. A gradual transition to a formula with Protease is possible in about a four-week period of time. This is due to the situation that Protease may temporarily have a burning sensation, for individuals with these situations. "Gastric-EEZ": Multiple Enzyme Formula WITHOUT PROTEASE. A Multiple Enzyme Formula without protease provides nutritional support for individuals with numerous gastrointestinal issues including indigestion and bloating, and is therefore suitable for those individuals with gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Enzymes assist in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Enzymes are extremely important in our diets for proper breakdown of our food so we can eventually absorb this nutrition through our intestinal walls. Without enzymes, our life would cease. The trouble with enzymes is, because they are living, they are easily destroyed with heat. All fresh foods contain enzymes within that food, but when we cook, preserve, pasteurize or process our foods, those enzymes are killed. There are no living enzymes in cooked foods. If you want the best chance of ingesting live enzymes, you will need to consume your food raw. The practice of taking digestive enzymes with our foods is very sound. Different enzymes help to digest different types of foods. Enzymes are recommended for anyone who has trouble digesting their foods. Everyone’s digestive systems are not created equal. Some people will have a more difficult time digesting fats while others will have a harder time digestion proteins. Specific enzymes can assist in these cases. For help in determining your body type and help in determining which enzymes might be better suited for your body type, refer to the "Body Typing" section at: HealthCareAnalysis.com Multiple Enzyme Formula Information: 1. A multiple enzyme formula is considered optimum for health. It is recommended by some physicians to use a multiple formula enzyme on a daily basis with your meals. There is some thought amongst the medical community that the pancreas may have a "preprogrammed" ability to produce a certain amount of enzymes in a lifetime. This is especially important for patients that are more prone to diabetes. Regular use of a quality multiple formula enzyme supplement may possibly lesson the demands on your pancreas over your lifetime, which may therefore prolong the ability of your pancreas to continuing working strongly into old age. This has not been proven, but is considered a reasonable explanation why some older people have a harder time digesting foods. 2. Individuals with extreme cases of Gastritis, Gastric or Duodenal Ulcers should begin their Enzyme Supplementation with a formula void of Protease and gradually transition over to a formula with Protease in about 4 weeks. This is due to the situation that Protease may temporarily have a burning sensation for individuals with these situations. 3. There is evidence that a good quality multiple formula enzyme, taken on a daily basis, provides nutritional support for Most digestive disorders, Prevention of malabsorption, Food allergies, Gallbladder stress, Sugar intolerance, Dairy intolerance, and Intestinal disorders. Supportive Information for all Enzymes: Enzymes are responsible for every activity of life. Each and every chemical reaction that takes place within the human body requires enzymes. Our digestive processes are dependent on adequate levels and functioning of digestive enzymes. Raw food has intact enzymes that assist in digestion. Mother nature intended us to obtain these enzymes from our food sources. Most individuals, though, ingest high amounts of cooked food devoid of such enzymes. As our own body’s enzyme function likely diminishes with age, failure of proper digestion can result. This may evolve into a lack of adequate nutrition and the development of a number of chronic medical conditions. TeraForma Health supplies a complete array of high enzymatic activity premium plant based digestive enzymes to support your health. There are two classes of enzymes recognized: 1. Metabolic enzymes - These are responsible for repair, formation and function of each cell within each and every tissue of the body. Over the course of time, these enzymes "wear out" and require replenishment by the body. 2. Digestive enzymes - These include proteases, amylases and lipases which are involved in the breakdown of ingested proteins, carbohydrates and lipids (fats) respectively. Proper breakdown of these ingested foods is necessary to allow proper absorption of the nutrients to occur. The current use of metabolic enzymes is limited to specific medical situations such as clot dissolution through intravenous use. Digestive enzymes, though, have been used and are available in supplemental form to assist in numerous digestive disorders. There is extensive evidence that supports the use of digestive enzymes for a wide range of Gastrointestinal illness including malabsorption, pancreatic insufficiency, celiac disease and lactose intolerance. There are at least two studies that have shown benefit in food allergies with the use of enzymes. Conventional physicians frequently recommend enzymes for all of these aforementioned situations. Heartburn and indigestion also frequently may respond to enzyme nutritional support. Additional uses: European literature recognizes additional uses for plant based proteolytic enzymes such as those found within Teraforma Health’s Enzyme Products. These compounds have demonstrated anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic (blood thinning) and anti-tumor properties in a number of animal experiments. A study in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases showed benefit in individuals with arthritis. 556 people with various forms of arthritis were studied. 283 had good to excellent improvement and 219 showed mild to moderate improvement. The specific enzyme Bromelain, found within TeraForma’s DynamicZyme™, has been used successfully in Europe as an anti-inflammatory in diverse conditions such as allergic rhinitis and minor trauma including sprains and strains. TeraForma Health’s Enzyme formulas thus have a broad range of applicability from improvement in digestion and gastrointestinal disorders, to enhancement of blood flow in individuals with circulatory disorders, to lessening of allergic and arthritis symptoms. Side Effects: Individuals with gastric or duodenal ulcers should avoid Protease, which may cause gastric burning. After 4 weeks gradually transition over to a formula with Protease. There are no other known side effects with the recommended use of these supplements. Drug Interactions: There is a theoretic concern for the use of Coumadin and proteases (found within these formulas) due to the fibrinolytic properties of these enzymes. No human studies have addressed this though. References:
