Enzymes are essential for activating cellular processes and catalyzing thousands of biochemical reactions within the human body. While many people rely on isolated nutrients like Vitamin D3 for deficiency correction or Vitamin C for its antioxidant properties, these isolated chemicals are not the root cause of our health issues. The real problem lies in our diet—specifically, a lack of whole, nutrient-dense foods and our body's diminished ability to assimilate these nutrients.
In today’s world, it’s nearly impossible to obtain all the nutrients we need from food alone—a topic that deserves its own discussion. However, in this blog, I want to focus on two forms of enzyme therapy.
Digestive enzymes are essential are essential unless you eat exclusively from your garden and consume produce within an hour of harvest, ensuring your food contains all the live enzymes needed for proper digestion. Without these enzymes, your body must produce them to break down food, placing a significant burden on your system. Over time, this can lead to enzyme depletion, which in turn can cause deficiencies in the minerals and nutrients required to produce these enzymes.
Proteolytic enzymes, on the other hand, are used therapeutically to reduce inflammation, support injury recovery, and alleviate conditions like GERD (acid reflux). These enzymes help break down proteins, reduce inflammation, and promote healing by improving digestion and reducing the burden on the digestive system. By supplementing with proteolytic enzymes, you can enhance your body’s ability to heal from injuries, reduce inflammation, and manage digestive issues more effectively.
The Key to Efficient Nutrient Absorption
To ensure optimal digestion and nutrient absorption, it's important to customize a digestive aid formula tailored to your unique health challenges and goals. An evaluation can help identify specific digestive needs and areas where support is most needed, such as enzyme deficiencies, sensitivities, or imbalances in gut flora. This personalized approach allows for the creation of a 2-for-1 product that combines digestive enzymes with carefully selected herbs known to support individual health concerns. By targeting specific digestive issues and incorporating herbs that address your unique health goals—whether it's reducing inflammation, enhancing liver function, or boosting immune support—you can optimize nutrient absorption and promote overall well-being more effectively.

Instead of turning to isolated chemicals like synthetic B vitamins, I encourage you to let me help you with your individualized custom diet and nutrition plan and obtaining metabolic balance. I can help you address deficiencies and achieve sustained health through customized Naturopathic care. In the meantime, you can't go wrong with whole food nutrition from Standard Process, you can only do better with an evaluation of priorities.
