1 ENZYMES Presented by Angie Ates BCND, CAHP-BC 1

2 enzymes and their function No plant, animal, or human could exist without enzymes Researchers have identified more than 3,000 kinds of enzymes in the human body Enzyme marker tests are used by doctors via blood panels 2

3 what are Enzymes anyway. Enzymes are protein-based substance found in EVERY cell of EVERY living plant, animal and the human body. They either start chemical reactions or they make them run faster. They are natural catalysts that cause a chemical change WITHOUT themselves being affected. 3

4 found in toothpaste for more cleaning power makes leaves burst into beautiful colors ripens bananas and tomatoes etc cabbage fermented becomes sauerkraut 4

5 The Amino Acid connection Enzymes are composed of amino acids Amino acids are structural units of all protein Enzymes differ in the order and number of amino acids NINE of these amino acids cannot be made by the body and must be obtained through our diet 5

6 Naming the Enzyme Enzymes are named for the substance or substrate that they work on and break down. The suffix ase is then affixed to the end of the word. Example.enzyme that breaks down protein is called protease, fat- or lipid- digesting enzymes are called lipase and etc. 6

7 SIX classes of Enzymes CLASS FUNCTION Hydrolases proteases amylases lipases Break down the peptide bonds in proteins. Break down carbohydrates. Break down fats (lipids). Isomerases Break down the rearrangement of chemical groups within the same molecule. Ligases Catalyze the format of the bond between 2 substrate molecules through the use of an energy source. Lyases Split the double bonds between atoms with the accumulation or dissociation of chemical groups. Oxidoreductases Make oxidation and execution possible. Transferases Transfer chemical groups from one molecule to another. 7

8 2 main Enzyme groups the 2 primary groups of training in this course are 1- Hydrolases- digestive and inflammation support 2- Oxidoredctases -our free radical fighters 8

9 how do enzymes work most work by helping take something (bonds) apart the 3-5% that synthesize instead of breaking apart are closed anabolic enzymes vs the cleaving catabolic enzymes they are very specialized- meaning substrate specific and the are FFAASSSST.. 9

10 all about the Co factors co factors or co enzymes must be present for the Enzymes to function (vitamins and minerals) and yet others inhibit or are competitors for enzyme function 10

11 signs of enzyme deficiency General symptoms of enzyme deficiency include bloating/gas, multiple food sensitivities, depression, fatigue Lipase deficiency: Fat malabsorption, greasy stool, dry skin and hair, high cholesterol, extreme discomfort with high-fat meals, muscle spasms Protease deficiency: Low blood sugar, chronic ear infections, meat fibers in stool, bacterial/viral infections Amylase deficiency: Allergies, cold hands and feet, depression, fatigue, mood swings, neck and shoulder aches, PMS, skin problems (rashes, hives, herpes, canker sores), hot flashes 11

12 Necessary for the breakdown of macronutrients Insufficient enzyme secretion can cause nutrient malabsorption, digestive disturbances Amylase: Carbohydrates Proteases: Proteins Lipases: Fats Cellulase: fiber Brush border enzymes: Simple and complex carbohydrates 12

13 Bottom line - illness is the most obvious sign that one needs more enzymes 13

14 the history there is. biblical perspective - 2 Kings 20:7 Dr John Beard - Scottish physician Dr Max Wolf - father for use as systemic enzyme therapy Dr Edward Howell - father of use as Digestive Enzymes 14

15 Other uses of Enzymes Medical Testing Pulp and Paper Industry Detergents Food Production Animal Feed and more.. 15

16 quick review of the GI tract To extract nutrients from food to digest nutrients into units small enough to be absorbed to eliminate waste products 16

17 the process - MOUTH must chew our food Enzyme ptyalin begins with saliva in the mouth this is amylase breaks down carbs Lysozyme, Kallikrein, Lactoferrin, Peroxidase, Growth factor - all in that same MOUTH saliva 17

18 STOMACH- the sack lining of stomach is loaded with glands supplying hormones, hydrochloric acid, and enzymes hydrochloric acid activates pepsin (inactive form is pepsinogen) and continues to break down food to chyme 18

19 Small Intestine- 3 sections TOP section = duodenum- bile and pancreatic enzymes/hormones enter here Middle section = Jejunum- Fats are absorbed here Last section = ileum - vitamin B12 absorbed here 19

20 Large Intestine Several subsections = ascending /transverse/ descending/ sigmoid colon and rectum MAIN goal - get rid of food wastes and support with balanced intestinal flora 20

21 Enzyme absorption- 3 ways 1- pinocytosis -a method in which whole molecules are engulfed by cells and absorbed 2- transportation to the blood stream by way of the lymphatic system 3- transcellular absorption -via peristalsis 21

22 the Environmental Factor Food mastication brings the enzyme into contact with its substrate Body heat-enzymes work in specific heat ranges Enzymes work in specific ph ranges= Food enzymes = 3.0 to 9.0 / Animal enzymes =

23 Enzyme deficiencies -links Hypochlorhydria - not enough hydrochloric acid Achlorhydria -No hydrochloric is made Pancreatitis / Pancreatic insufficiency Intestinal toxemia Malabsorption 23

24 Enzyme Depleters Cooking/ Canning/ Drying/ Freezing Irradiation/ Food Additives Lifestyle choices - smoking/alcohol/drugs 24

25 free radicals vs antioxidants Free radicals are incomplete, highly unstable, reactive compounds or molecules. Antioxidants protect the body from free- radical damage by helping the body repair cellular damage or intercepting the free radicals before they can do harm 25

26 Enzyme 2 step program Step ONE - eliminate enzyme dead foods and lifestyle deleters Step TWO - maximize your enzyme intake via food and air 26

27 step ONE - eliminate enzyme dead food overwork the body and stress enzyme supply this forces the pancreas and other organs to produce more enzymes in a desperate attempt to digest this creates lack of reserves for maintaining immune system, circulation etc 27

28 step TWO - maximize intake Fresh vegetables and fruits including fiber Fermented foods - kefir/sauerkraut/miso/tempeh Sprouts/ raw honey / rejuvelac 28

29 Enzyme sources Animal Enzymes Plant Enzymes Microbial Enzymes 29

30 Animal Enzymes Enzymes extracted from pancreas, liver or stomach of beef, oxen and pigs Included are proteases, amylases and lipase Best known are trypsin, chymotrypsin pepsin, rennin, and pancreatin (which is combination of enzymes vs a single enzyme) 30

31 Plant Enzymes Pineapple - bromelain Papaya - papain Fig - fiction Barley - malt diastase High Protease content -such as papaya, kiwi, figs, guava and ginger root 31

32 Microbial enzymes a/k/a plant -derived enzymes bacterial and fungal origin-produced through fermentation using microorganisms 32

33 Combination Enzymes Manufacturers combine different types of enzymes to increase absorption and effectiveness. Combining enzymes with nutraceuticals/botanicals which improves the absorption and bioavailability maximizing the enzyme activity and reducing the drain on the body s own digestive enzymes 33

34 used as Digestive Enzymes Typically see improvement within hours Combination enzymes get the best results in digestive use Using enzyme enables the body to not be strained after age 45 the ability to make hcl declines- age 65 almost absolete 34

35 Used as Systemic Therapy a/k/a Proteolytic enzyme use have a fibrinolytic effect- which thins the blood Height, weight, age and condition being addressed will determine dosage considerations 35

36 Systemic/ Metabolic Enzymes Must be absorbed into the blood stream to be effective Absorbed via the small intestine Taken IN BETWEEN meals as not to confuse the body s function as a digestive enzyme 36

37 Common disorders Pancreatitis Inflammation and Infection Decrease scar tissue formation Improve circulation Blood clotting disorder support Stimulate immune system/ lymphatic action Rash/ Hives/ Skin support and MUCH MUCH MUCH more 37

38 side effects changes in color consistency or odor of the stool cleared from body after hours some enzymes will store in white blood cells and liver and be used for later use systemically taking enzymes continuously will support the body to achieve wellness 38

39 bonus Using Functional Numbers when reading blood panels are essential when truly determining the results Blood tests are simply concentrations of dissolved substances Mindful - when there are NO further resources is when the blood panels are finally out of range Enzymes are LIFE 39

40 Stress and MENT All symptoms are caused by stress: M= mechanical E= emotional source N= nutritional/ chemical T= toxin overload 40
