Why would a person need these enzymes, i.e. shouldn't the body naturally produced the needed enzymes?

I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery (genetics are too blame) Being that I have no gallbladder enzymes are essential to be able to process foods properly. It's just a matter of taking supplements daily, during meals is best.

As a person ages less of their own enzymes are excreted. Those with compromised immune systems, leaky gut syndrome, etc...benefit from the extra enzymes. Also taken on an empty stomach, these enzymes get into the circulatory system and break down undigested food particles and potential allergans that may cause inflammation.

I am not a medical professional nor nutritionist, but because my gut is apparently not digesting my food properly, I began taking these enzymes, and they have helped a great deal.

Because most people don't eat enough of the right foods in the right combinations to support and maintain the proper functioning of their digestive system. And the processed foods that are so easily accessible to most of us on a daily basis are actually doing daily damage to our digestive systems. I mostly agree with the question though. Our bodies are designed to be highly efficient and should produce whatever we need ASSUMING we prepare and cook our own meals from whole foods not pre-packaged foods so that we know exactly what we are putting in our bodies. But how many of us consistently do that? Because most people don't eat enough of the right foods in the right combinations to support and maintain the proper functioning of their digestive system.

The body DOES produce what you need...but for those of us without gallbladders (specifically), we need help regulating our digestive systems after surgery. These enzymes have helped me tremendously.

I have Sjogren's disease (autoimmune) which attacks my salivary glands. They no longer produce the enzymes they should for most people. So amylase is an improvement for digesting starch. (Tooth decay is also a problem from low salivary enzymes).

Raw but likely they have been irradiated which kills them and the enzymes. Thanks to a law the FDA passed a year or so ago to supposedly protect us :-(

I am quite sure it is from an animal source. It is often recommended to vegetarians and vegans because it is important to many bodily functions. I just know for sure that it is critical to cardiovascular health.

You are not running you glucose often enough. I bought it I don't sell it best check with seller.

This is something you should ask a medical professional! Though the ingredients are all natural, you just don't know.

Although there are numerous health benefits commonly associated with taking systemic enzymes, including Catalase, we would not want to make the claim that one would experience less graying hair. Thanks

Deep nutrition. Like the previous two reviewers said, it supports many areas in the body. The body is either breaking down or building up. This is one of the things that helps with building up. My focus is on gut health. If the gut is healthy, other systems can begin to build. I use a Tablespoon every day. Either in stew, soups or sauces, or in my tea or coffee. I use no sugar but lots of Raw Cream so I do not notice it changing the flavor at all.

Digistive enzymes is not the same as probiotics. Digistive enzymes are use to to break down food in smaller pieces to help food absorb in the blood stream.It optimizies digestion of fat,carbs,proteins,dairy and other difficult foods to digest. Its also helps the body building blocks needed for growth and maintenance. Breaks down indigestible fibre or fat that causes gas and bloating. Regulates bowel movements by improving metabolism. Probiotics are organisms such as bacteria or yeast to help with immune system. It helps with some digestive disorder. It helps to balance the bacteria in the intestine.

I don't think so. It's an enzymatic cleaner so you have to saturate the area(s) & let it dry overnight so the enzymes can work correctly. You could probably steam clean it after that.

Its more for oxygen to the cells. To help them function properly and detoxify properly.. It makes you feel awesome. I notice an immidiate spike i energy and clarity.

Cholesterol is needed to make hormones. Without it we would not produce estrogen, progesterone or testosterone. It is vital for the functioning of nerve synapses and provides the structural integrity for our cell membranes. Cholesterol is used by the skin to help prevent water evaporation and to make our skin waterproof. Vitamin D is synthesized from cholesterol. And bile, used for fat digestion, consists mostly of cholesterol. The liver produces about 90 percent of the cholesterol in our bodies; only 10 percent comes from diet. If we eat too much cholesterol, the liver decreases the output of cholesterol. Cholesterol is a naturally occurring lipid. This means it is a type of fat or oil and it is in fact an essential component in creating and sustaining the membranes of the cells of all bodily tissues. So this alone means we need cholesterol to survive! Most of the cholesterol that is found in our bodies is actually naturally manufactured within our own cells. However there is also an additional contribution that we get from external 'nutritional' sources - the foods we consume. In a typical diet providing around 400mg of cholesterol per day from food sources, about half to two-thirds of this amount is actually absorbed through the process of digestion. The body will normally secrete about a gram (1000mg) of cholesterol per day into the bile via the ducts, and approximately three-fifths of this is then re-absorbed. There is a lot of controversy whether or not there really is good and bad cholesterol. Most of this was copied from an article I read from preventdisease.com

Hi Raylene - I cannot answer this. What I can tell you is that Wobenzym essentially operates through your digestive system to help direct, optimize and neutralize (if necessary) the essential ingredients of everything you consume everyday. I never understood the relationship between food and the body growing up, but I certainly respect it today - a regulator like Wobenzym is critical to helping blood pressure, cholesterol levels, skin conditions, and the immune system, especially in people under stress or with a "stressful" nature. It has made a huge difference in my life, beyond question, and I am religious about taking it 3 times a day. Hope this helps. Hi Raylene - I cannot answer this.

Some people are lactose intolerant and can't use butter. It isn't always a preference to use something else but a necessity.

Good question that would require a bit of research since I'm not a chemist. Thanks for sharing.

You should only be concerned if you have PKU (a medical condition which doesn't allow the body to break down phenylalanine). While it is a byproduct of the artificial sweetener aspartame it is also a NATURALLY occurring amino acid found in high protein food sources (meat, eggs, diary, soy, etc.), it's actually an essential amino acid meaning your body can not make it itself and has to be obtained through your diet. Your body needs to have ALL 9 essential amino acids to synthesize protein.
