doTERRA TerraZyme

doTERRA TerraZyme Whole-Food Enzyme Support Copied to clipboard Share doTERRA TerraZyme doTERRA TerraZyme Digestive Enzyme Complex is a proprietary blend of active whole-food enzymes and supporting cofactors that are often deficient in cooked, processed, and preservative-laden foods. These powerful digestive enzymes support the body’s constant production of enzymes that are critical for healthy biochemical functions, including efficient digestion of food nutrients and cellular metabolism of nutrients into energy.* doTERRA TerraZyme includes a variety of whole-food enzymes that help with digesting proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, and fiber. doTERRA TerraZyme is safe and effective and can be taken with every meal. It includes the doTERRA tummy tamer blend of peppermint, ginger, and caraway seed extracts to promote gastrointestinal comfort. The tummy tamer blend is especially helpful for those needing targeted digestive health, such as with protein, fat, and carbohydrate intolerances (like lactose).* Enzymes Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as catalysts in almost all cellular functions and chemical reactions in the body. Enzymes play a critical role in growth, healing, and reproduction. They’re also necessary for breathing, thinking, immune function, hormone regulation, detoxification, food nutrients digestion, and conversion of nutrients into energy in cells, among many other functions.* Enzymes can originate inside and outside the body. Endogenous enzymes are produced in the body and can be classified as metabolic enzymes and digestive enzymes. Metabolic enzymes are active in blood, tissues, and organs. Digestive enzymes are produced in the mouth, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. The liver produces bile salts bilirubin, bile acids, and phospholipids that aid in fat digestion. Together, they help the body convert food to usable nutrients. Exogenous enzymes originate outside the body and are classified as food enzymes. Food enzymes are found in raw, unprocessed foods and break down nutrients during digestion.* The body’s ability to constantly produce metabolic and digestive enzymes is limited by raw material availability and production capacity. If your diet doesn’t include sufficient food enzymes to break down the food you eat, your body’s endogenous enzyme resources must be directed toward producing digestive enzymes to speed conversion of food to bioavailable nutrients. Production capacity directed toward digestive enzymes is capacity that isn’t available for producing important metabolic enzymes. The body’s constant need to produce digestive enzymes can result in decreased levels of metabolic enzymes that are critical for optimal health and cell function. One important metabolic enzyme is superoxide dismutase (SOD), which protects cells from free radicals. Metabolic enzymes are also necessary for energy production, tissue growth and repair, and management of toxic waste products. When you eat foods that are ric
