Systemic Enzymes By William Wong N.D., Ph.D.
Why are Enzymes Important?
Many of us are familiar with the
digestive enzymes found in the
stomach and intestines; they
process the various foods we
eat. However, other types of
enzymes are reaction-causing
agents which make breathing,
growth, healing and other body
functions possible.
Enzymes more than just sustain
life, they are catalysts for
virtually every biological and
chemical reaction in the body.
Without enzymes, life itself
could not exist. As we age
however, our own enzyme
production significantly
diminishes. The enzymes we need
to maintain healthy joints, a
strong immune system, good
circulation and overall balanced
well-being are less available.
As we begin to mature and these
enzyme levels decline, we become
subject to enzyme deficiency.
This can lead to wide variety of
health problems, including
unhealthy amounts of fibrin
accumulating in our joints, our
blood and veins and throughout
our system. [See Picture]
Trevinol ES™ contains
100% vegetable derived enzymes
which are readily bioavailable
and therefore, chemically more
effective than our bodies own
natural enzymes.
Systemic enzymes attack fibrin and
may reduce the impact of fibrin
buildup associated with
arthritic and inflammatory
conditions, plaque build up
within the arteries, scar
tissue, production of C-Reactive
Protein (CRP) and Fibrosis.
What are "Systemic Enzymes"?
Systemic enzymes operate
throughout every system and
organ in our body. Unlike
digestive enzymes found in the
gastrointestinal tract, systemic
enzymes create or accelerate
biochemical reactions.
Basically, they are “agents of
change”.
Unlike the digestive enzymes
found in the stomach and
intestines which are responsible
for processing food. Systemic
Enzymes are reaction-causing
agents allowing cells to
regenerate, enable breathing,
healing and make other body
functions possible. Trevinol ES™
contains plant-derived enzymes,
which pass easily through the
stomach and digestive tract and
are rapidly absorbed into the
bloodstream. These enzymes work
"systemically" or throughout the
entire body. Trevinol employs a
clinically proven delivery
system that ensures that these
enzymes are distributed within
your body and organs while in
their most active state.
Proteolytic Enzymes
Proteolytic enzymes (meaning
"protein-dissolving") often in
the form of Serrapeptase are
ubiquitous in nature. They are
found in animals, plants,
bacteria, and fungi. Human
beings produce enzymes to help
digest our food, but we also
produce numerous other types,
which act to control virtually
every regulatory mechanism in
our bodies. These complex
enzymes breakdown and digest
proteins into fragments. Recent
scientific evidence supports the
use of proteolytic enzyme
supplements for enhancing
digestive function and for
speeding recovery from
injury/surgery and reducing
swelling and inflammation.
Protease is one form of
proteolytic enzyme which
demonstrates such an ability.
Its role is critical as
incomplete protein digestion
creates problems for the body
including the development of
allergies and the formation of
toxins. Undigested proteins have
been linked to many health
concerns, including foreign
invaders in the intestinal
tract. Some of these foreign
invaders are parasites. Protease
is largely responsible for
keeping the small intestines
free from parasites. A lack of
protease increases the risk of
intestinal infection including
an overgrowth of the yeast
Candida. Protease also delivers
the specific nutrients necessary
to promote healthy muscle tissue
and vibrant immune system
function.
Commonly recognized benefits
of Proteolytic Enzymes:
Reduce inflammation:
Inflammation is a natural
response of the body to injury.
However, excessive inflammation
can result in painful swelling
and slow the healing process.
Proteolytic enzymes reduce
inflammation by neutralizing the
bio-chemicals of inflammation (bradykinins
and pro-inflammatory eicosanoids)
to levels where the synthesis,
repair and regeneration of
injured tissues can take place.
Reducing inflammation can have
immediate impact on improved
heart health, arthritis,
surgical recuperation and sports
injury prevention and recovery.
Enzymes can be very useful for
managing sprains, strains,
fractures, bruises and
contusions.
Blood Cleansing:
Proteolytic enzymes are the
primary tools the body uses to
"digest" organic debris in the
circulatory and lymph systems.
This process of cleansing the
blood of debris can
significantly improve blood
pressure, circulation and reduce
cardio risk factors.
Dissolving Fibrin:
Excess fibrin in the blood can
result in blockages and the risk
of clots. Certain specialized
proteases such as nattokinase
are extremely effective at
improving the "quality" of blood
cells, optimizing the ability of
blood to flow through the
circulatory system, and reducing
the risk of clots. This is
extremely important in reducing
the risk of stroke. Many
patients now use proteolytic
enzymes during long plane
flights to minimize the
potential of blood clots in the
legs.
Strengthen immune system:
The primary vehicle the immune
system uses for destroying
invaders is enzymes.
Supplementation with the proper
types of enzymes may
significantly improve the
ability of your immune system to
perform its tasks. Macrophages,
for example, literally digest
invaders with proteolytic
enzymes.
Reduction of Bacteria Viruses
and Fungi:
Bacteria, viruses, molds, and
fungi are protein/amino acid
based. Proteolytic enzymes,
always most effective when taken
between meals, can enter the
bloodstream and digest these
invaders.
Elimination of autoimmune
diseases:
Large undigested proteins can
make their way into the
bloodstream and form Circulating
Immune Complexes (known as CIC’s)
which trigger allergies and
autoimmune diseases.
Supplementation with proteolytic
enzymes may remove these
potentially dangerous CICs from
the body, thereby reducing
allergies and autoimmune
conditions. This may also kelp
with sinusitis and asthma
conditions.
Dissolving of scar tissue:
Scar tissue is made of protein.
Proteolytic enzymes have the
unique ability to effectively
"digest" dead cellular matter
and scar tissue, while leaving
active, living cells intact.
This is particularly true in the
circulatory system.
Enzymes and Current Research
The medical use of enzymes as
anti-inflammatory agents goes
back many years. In the early
1950s it was discovered that
certain enzymes could relieve
the symptoms of many different
inflammatory conditions,
including rheumatoid arthritis,
ulcerative colitis, and atypical
viral pneumonia. Subsequently
the use of special enzymes were
found to be beneficial in
counteracting post-surgical
swelling (edema), treating
thrombophlebitis and lower back
strain, and rapidly healing
bruises caused by sports
injuries.
Today, there is mounting
evidence of the value of
Proteolytic enzymes in reducing
inflammation which can lead to
circulatory problems, coronary
heart disease and stroke.
Recently, American Heart
Association and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
published a joint scientific
statement supporting the use of
inflammatory markers in clinical
and public health practice. Most
studies show that the higher the
C-Reactive Protein levels,
(known as "CRP”), the higher the
risk of developing heart attack.
Recent scientific studies have
found that the risk for heart
attack in people in the upper
third of CRP levels is twice
that of those whose CRP is in
the lower third.
Maintaining a strong and
efficient cardiovascular system
is central to living a long and
productive life. According to
the Heart Lung Vascular
Institute at the University of
Tennessee, Heart Disease is
the leading cause of death in
men and women in the United
States, and it's not just a
result of aging. Certain
lifestyle habits and genetic
factors lead to the heart and
the body's network of blood
vessels to become overworked and
damaged, often due to
inflammation.
Healthy Lifestyle Strategies
As we age, our body’s produce
less enzymes which may lead to
serious health conditions,
including the buildup of fibrin
in our joints, veins and
throughout our system.
Trevinol ES was developed to
reduce fibrin levels, promote
enhanced circulation, restore
joint health and mobility, boost
immune strength and reduce
inflammation and scar tissue.
Recent studies have shown the
correlation between elevated
vascular inflammation, LDL (bad)
Cholesterol and increased risk
of heart disease. Trevinol
contains key nutrients
formulated to reduces levels of
vascular inflammation, arterial
plaque and bad cholesterol.
We believe that with regular
professional healthcare, a
healthy diet, low in cholesterol
and saturated fats, proper
exercise and an enzyme
supplement, such as Trevinol ES,
you can help maintain your
normal enzyme levels and live a
healthier lifestyle.
