The many benefits of enzyme supplements are the focus of various on-going clinical studies. One of the most important studies is the use of enzyme supplements in the fight against carcinogenic free radicals.
The importance of the activity of enzymes in terms of protecting the immune system can never be overlooked. While digestive enzymes break down the nutrients in food, metabolic enzymes ensure those nutrients travel effectively into the bloodstream. With age, this process is adversely affected by a natural reduction in the production of enzymes. Diet becomes even more important to ensure the correct amounts of nutrients are digested but, where this isn’t possible, an enzyme supplement is beneficial. 
This is hugely important because without the correct level of enzymes in the body, it is at risk to free radicals that can potentially cause illness and cancer. Because nearly all pathogens, including cancer cells are covered by a protective layer of protein based coating – known as fibrin – it is difficult for the immune system to identify and destroy them. This coating can be up to 15 times thicker than the coating on a normal cell.
This is where enzymes come into play. The specific function of metabolic enzymes is to breakdown proteins. If these pathogens are exposed to enzymes, they can be broken down and exposed to the immune system, thereby preventing the growth of cancer cells. The vast majority of metabolic enzymes are produced by the pancreas, but this organ can be seriously overworked, which is why an enzyme supplement is so effective in supporting this organ.
Unlike digestive enzymes, metabolic enzymes should be taken on an empty stomach to ensure their immediate release into the bloodstream. Metabolic enzymes have actually been used for decades in the fight against carcinogenic free radicals and have been proven to be very effective. While enzymes are not yet prescribed for the treatment of such ailments, the results of various trials have to been too good to ignore their amazing antioxidant properties.
