Enzyme

Enzymes - improve your digestion and metabolism

Did you know that good health starts with properly functioning digestion and that good digestion relies on having the right enzymes in the right amounts and in the right place at the right time? Enzymes help the body to digest food and absorb nutrients from proteins, carbohydrates, fats and plant fibres. Our body needs enzymes to function properly. We need them not only for healthy digestion, but for all metabolic processes. Without enzymes, we would not be able to live. And every time the enzyme balance is disturbed in the long term, a disease develops.

Enzymes are also involved in every metabolic reaction in the human body. Without enzymes, neither vitamins nor minerals or hormones can fulfil their task. Our body, with all its billions of cells, is controlled by metabolic enzymes. The more energy we need for digestion, the less energy we have available for the systemic metabolic processes, the metabolic tasks. It is therefore understandable that many health problems can be traced back to a lack of enzymatic activity.

Vital substances

Vital substances are also known as micronutrients. These are substances that the human body needs for a well-functioning metabolism.

Vital substances (lat. vita = life) are essential substances that are contained in plant or animal foods.

Vital substances include

- Vitamins

- Minerals/trace elements

- Secondary plant substances

Many vital substances are taken in with food, as the body cannot produce them itself, or only to an insufficient extent. While nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, protein) are energy suppliers and must be consumed in large quantities, the body only needs small amounts of vital substances. However, this does not make them any less important, as they are involved in numerous metabolic processes.
