Enzymes

Definition of Enzymes

Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in chemical reactions within living organisms. These molecules accelerate chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for them to occur.

Enzymes are highly specific, meaning each one is designed to catalyze a particular chemical reaction.

Additionally, enzymes can be regulated, allowing them to adjust their activity in response to the body's needs.

They are essential for the proper functioning of metabolic processes and play a crucial role in digestion, molecule synthesis, and many other biological functions.

When you have a leaky gut, these digestive enzymes may not be sufficient, which is why we often recommend supplementing them to support digestion and nutrient absorption.
