Lipase Formula - Digestive enzymes that aid in fat digestion. It may be beneficial for chronic inflammatory conditions, cardiovascular conditions and for people lacking a gall bladder.
Dr Edward Howell who passed on in 1988 at the age of 90 spent over 50 years studying food enzymes. His research suggested that at birth we have an enzyme potential. If allowed to become deficient, we are at risk of degenerative diseases. This enzyme potential must be preserved at all costs and not wasted by forcing the metabolic enzymes that carry out the chemical reactions in our bodies to be diverted into the task of digestion, because of poor foods choices that contain no digestive enzymes.
What
Are Enzymes?
Enzymes
are complex molecules, vital catalysts that are needed for every
chemical reaction in the body. There are two
major types of enzymes – metabolic and digestive. Metabolic
enzymes help build body structure. Digestive
enzymes work to break down large food molecules into smaller, readily
absorbable building blocks the body requires. Naturally
grown foods contain the enzymes necessary to break the food down to the
essential nutrients the body needs. Nature
provides enzymes in food to aid in the digestion process so that the
body doesn’t have to use its enzyme reserves to do all the work. But when we process, refine, heat, or microwave our
food, most if not all enzymes are rendered useless. At
a temperature above 118 degrees Fahrenheit, all enzyme activity is
destroyed. When we consume cooked or highly
processed foods, our digestive system has to produce the enzymes
necessary to digest what was eaten.
Our
Digestive System
The
purpose of our digestive tract is to extract and absorb the essential
nutrients contained in our food. Consuming cooked
foods can cause our body to take enzymes from the liver, pancreas, and
other organs to use in the digestion process. Over
time, this can cause these organs to be stressed, which can weaken our
immune system and slow down our metabolism.
When
we consume enzyme-deficient food, the food sits in the upper portion of
the stomach putrefying instead of being predigested (due to a lack of
enzymes). The body reacts by increasing the white
blood cell count as the immune system begins to treat the undigested
food as a foreign substance. The body further
stresses itself to produce extra digestive enzymes to digest this
putrefying material, reducing its ability to produce metabolic enzymes
for cellular activity. If stomach acids are not
able to complete their work before the food moves into the small
intestine, the food particles can enter the blood system undigested!
This
putrefied material coats the small and large intestines, reducing the
absorption of nutrients and hindering the expulsion of toxins through
the intestinal wall. Bacteria and viruses feed
and multiply, causing the body to become susceptible to infection,
fatigue, and degenerative disease.
Suggested dosage:
For usual adult dosage, take two to four capsules between meals.
Caution: As with any product, discontinue immediately if adverse effects occur.
