All of our organs and tissues are run by metabolic enzymes. These enzyme workers take proteins, fats and carbohydrates (starches, sugars, etc.), and structure them into healthy, properly working bodies. Every organ and tissue has its own particular metabolic enzymes to do specialized work. one authority made an investigation and found 98 distinct enzymes working in the arteries, each with a particular job to do. The liver has numerous different enzymes working. No one has ever investigated how many specific enzymes are needed to run the heart, brain, lungs, kidneys, etc. Since good health depends on all of these metabolic enzymes doing an excellent job, we must be sure that nothing interferes with the body making enough of them. A shortage could cause serious trouble, many times serious. Modern research is implicating enzymes in all of our activities. Even thinking involves some enzyme activity. In 1930, 80 enzymes were known; in 1947, 200; in 1957 660; in 1962, 850 and by 1968, scientists had identified 1300 of them. Today more than 5,000 metabolic enzymes have been identified that run the body chemistry and are involved in all body processes including breathing, talking, movement, behavior and maintaining the immune system. > Enzymes continued Home | Product Line | Endorsements | FAQs | Research | Order Products VITAL PRODUX™ 44 Mine Rd.
