What are enzymes?
E3Enzymes are plant-derived endogenous enzymes found in foods that digest themselves. Enzymes are proteins acting as an organic catalyst in a specific biochemical reaction without the need for an external energy source. Lipase food enzymes digest fats, amylase food enzymes digest carbohydrates, and protease digest proteins in the diet. E3Enzymes contain proteolytic enzymes such as amylase, protease, lactase, lipase, and celulase.
Why should I use enzymes?
Cooked food is devoid of digestive enzymes and therefore stimulates our body's internal enzyme secretion. This puts a tremendous strain on other digestive organs, enlarges the liver and the pancreas, and sets the stage for degenerative diseases that work quietly over many years. Uncooked food is rich in digestive enzymes and only stimulates a small amount of your body's enzyme secretion. Since less stomach acid is secreted, raw food remains longer and digests better in the upper stomach. Rather than giving up cooked foods however, we strongly recommend taking a plant-based enzyme before each meal. Some of the plant-based enzymes that are not used up while assisting digestion are able to pass through the intestinal mucosa and enter the blood stream. Once there, they can help by chemically digesting circulating proteins that the immune system considers to be invaders. This takes an enormous strain off the immune system, allowing it to deal with the other invaders that do pose a threat.
Is there a difference between powder and capsules?
The enzymes in our capsules are the same as our powder form. Some find taking capsules more convenient than mixing in water or sprinkling the powder on their food. We recommend the powder for faster action. Our vegetable capsules take about 20 minutes to break down before the enzymes are released.
What enzymes are in E3 Enzymes Supreme and what can they help with?
Protease Blend - Blend of 5 proteolytic enzymes including peptidase, which aid in the digestion and utilization of dietary proteins. Helps deliver the specific nutrients necessary for muscle and tissue repair, as well as for vibrant immune system function.
Amylase - digests starch and carbohydrates. Acts in concert with Protease to stimulate immune system function. Acts in association with lipase to digest fragments of viruses and reduce inflammation and infections.
Lipase - digests fats, thereby aiding in weight control, maintaining and enhancing cardiovascular health, and helping maintain proper gall bladder function.
Cellulase - digests fiber cellulose into smaller units which include D-glucose. Helps remedy digestive problems such as malabsorption. Cellulase is a very important enzyme because the human body cannot produce it on its own.
Malt Diastase (Maltase) - digests maltose, malt and grain sugars. May help relieve environmental sensitivities and allergies.
Invertase (Sucrase) - digests sugars. Beneficial in helping prevent gastrointestinal problems and discomfort.
Alpha-Galactosidase - aids in the digestion of difficult to digest foods such as beans, legumes and cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower
Lactase - digests the milk sugar lactose. Extremely useful for individuals suffering from lactose intolerance. May be beneficial for those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive disorders in which a high percentage are adversely affected by dairy products.
Hemicellulase - breaks down carbohydrates called hemi-celluloses, which are found in plant foods.
Bromelain - an enzyme from the stem of pineapples, breaks down protein and fights inflammation and reduces swelling. May speed the recovery of injuries and swelling resulting from athletics, childbirth and surgery
