Have you heard of digestive enzymes? doTERRA has one called Terrazyme.
Fresh, raw foods naturally contain sufficient enzymes for proper digestion in the body. However, when food is cooked and processed, these naturally occurring food enzymes can be destroyed.
The pasteurization, sterilization, radiation, preservation, freezing, and microwaving of our modern food supply can render food enzymes inactive or alter their structure so much that they become useless to the body. Food processing can also remove important vitamin and mineral cofactors of enzymatic chemistry in the body.
We can reduce the internal demand for production of digestive enzymes in our body by increasing the amounts of fresh, raw foods in our diets. Some experts suggest a healthy diet would include at
least 60 percent of food nutrients coming from fresh, raw foods—a good goal but not always practical in our modern lifestyles. Using a wholefood supplement of food enzymes is a more convenient way to guarantee sufficient enzymes in the foods we eat.
DigestZen Terrazyme is a proprietary blend of 10 active whole-food enzymes that are often deficient in cooked, processed, and preservative-laden foods. DigestZen Terrazyme includes a variety of whole-food enzymes that help with digestion of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, and other food nutrients.
The powerful combination of whole-food enzymes in DigestZen Terrazyme supports optimal health by promoting more efficient digestion of food nutrients and by reducing the demand for internal production of digestive nutrients, thus freeing resources for optimal levels of metabolic enzyme production and activity. DigestZen Terrazyme can also be used as targeted support for specific food intolerances of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, such as lactose.
I do this fun experiment to see how quickly Terrazyme gets to work on food and starts breaking it down. Use some porridge that doesn’t have enough water and is all sticky, open a capsule of Terrazyme and pour it on it, start stirring and it magically becomes more watery!
Terrazyme for the win!
