Enzymes do over 25,000 different functions in the human body: everything from thinking to blinking. 😮 Edwards Howell, author of Enzyme Nutrition, theorized that humans have an enzyme bank account that gets depleted as we get older. This makes sense when we correlate it to the increase in digestive issues that come with age. Having fewer enzymes and less HCL (stomach acid) all lead to bloating, gas, and other digestive issues. This leads to a negative cycle of effects. 😔 First, this leads to less protein breakdown which means the body gets fewer amino acids. Amino acids are the key building blocks from all the 20,000 proteins and 7,000 peptides your body assembles to make you rock and roll. Eventually, certain functions in the body decline and then cease. Then this creates another negative cascade of events that can lead to serious health issues. 😳 That’s why we’re such big proponents of enzymes and other digestive aids. They are some of the biggest game-changers anyone can consume to improve their healthspan and lifespan. We also believe that consuming lots of proteolytic enzymes on an empty stomach is a powerful anti-aging solution for various reasons. 😀 First, they will break down undigested proteins in your digestive tract and blood. They can start breaking down protein which is accumulating in your cells and disrupting intercellular communication and functions. They can also help reduce inflammation, heal injuries faster, and speed up autophagy. 🙏🏻 We believe that MassZymes is the most potent proteolytic enzyme formula on the market.
