Enzymes

Good morning!!!
A lovely weekend of traveling north to Little Sand Bay and camping, in the comfort of our motor home, has rejuvenated me!

Just a question: Is it beneficial to take enzymes in capsule form? There is a company, Enzymedica, that claims that many benefits can come from supplementing with their enzyme formulas. Oh. How nice that would be! However, there is a place for health skepticism. Their web site is: http://www.enzymedica.com/. It is a very informative site and their 888 number is, in my view, even better. You can call it and ask for the training part, and then listen to their approximately 15 minute long recorded 'educational' messages about digestive enzymes and theraputic enzymes.
As time goes by, people's bodies produce fewer and fewer enzymes. This is one reason our bodies do not work as well as we age.
The difference, I think, between digestive enzymes and theraputic enzymes is when you take them. If you take them with a meal, then they are digestive ezymes and will help with digestion. But if you take the enzymes 2 hours after a meal or 30 minutes before a meal they will pass into the bloodstream and do their busy work to cure what ails you. Enzymes, I am told, are the workers in your body in comparison to nutrients which are the building blocks.  So I will follow up on this blog and say how it goes as I have purchased enzymes that are supposed to help my husband's allergies and my inflamation in my heal and foot!! We are going to give it a try with the careful use of one bottle each. I don't know if we have wasted the money or not. Each bottle is about $30 dollars. So it is not cheap.
