Assimilate Your Food More Efficiently...

This blog will tell you a little about the basics for enzyme function in the human body. How do they work? We know that they are catalysts that help speed up chemical reactions in the body, especially aiding in digestion and hormone function. But how do they actually help speed up the reactions? This may be a little bit of science that people aren’t interested in, but for others, it’s fascinating and can really help them understand why and how they should purchase enzymes or blue green algae.

So, what enzymes really do is lower the “activation energy” needed to begin a chemical reaction in the body. It means that your body does not have to expend as much energy on starting those reactions. So, if you are digesting food molecules and you have good enzyme function, you’ll be able to get by with using less energy and will probably, therefore, be less tired and will be able to assimilate your food more efficiently into the blood stream. This can provide energy and can increase the effectiveness of the food you eat. Rather than more content going to waste and taxing your intestines, you’ll be able to harness the energy of good food.

What’s more about enzymes, they do not alter the equilibrium of the reaction. They are not used in the reactions. They only help to begin them. Without enzymes, our bodies would have to perform many difficult reactions and it would take them way longer, even up to millions of times longer to complete. It goes without saying, then, that you’ll want to check that you have good enzyme function and can help your body efficiently do its job!
