Presence or absence of enzyme activity. Restoring proper enzyme activity to cells has been termed "biochemical CPR to the cell." It is the first and foremost step in any properly designed nutritional program, a necessary step on the road to health and energy. Dr. Edward Howell was the first researcher to recognize the importance of food enzymes to human nutrition. In 1946, he wrote the book, The Status of Food Enzymes in Digestion and Metabolism. In his own words, "Enzymes are substances which make life possible. They are needed for every chemical reaction that occurs in the body. Without enzymes, no activity at all would take place. Neither vitamins, minerals or hormones can do any work without enzymes. Think of it this way: Enzymes are the labor force that builds your body, just like construction workers are the labor force that builds your house. You may have all the necessary building materials and lumber, but to build a house you need workers, which represent this vital life element. Similarly, you may have all the nutrients-vitamins, proteins, minerals, etc., for your body — but you still need the enzymes, the life element, to keep the body "alive and well." > Vital Enzymes continued Home | Product Line | Endorsements | FAQs | Research | Order Products VITAL PRODUX™ 44 Mine Rd.
