F. Internal enzymes are damaged by factors, such as chlorine in drinking water, certain medicines, air pollution and chemical additives. The more enzymes which are in the foods our birds eat, the less digestive work must be done by their digestive organs. Metabolic enzymes run all of our birds' cells, tissues, and organs. Metabolic enzymes work to assist and regulate proper function of the many systems of the body, such as the endocrine system, immune system and so forth and maintain proper function of the lungs, kidneys, heart and other organs, repair damage and heal illness. The enzymes in our bird's immune system attack waste materials and poisons in their blood.
Enzymes regulate hormonal function, keep the body's metabolism normal and so on.
As we know, enzymes from food and the digestive organs digest all of our bird's food and break it down into simpler particles so they can pass through the tiny pores of the small intestines and into the bloodstream. Then the enzymes in the blood take the digested food and regenerate cells, build and maintain bones, muscles, nerves, tissues, organs and glands. In food digestion, enzymes perform the task of digesting specific substances. Food enzymes do a portion of this laborious job of pre-digestion, thereby leaving our bird's body a sufficient supply of metabolic enzymes to draw on for maintaining and strengthening the many other bodily systems. As a result, the immune system, digestive system, hormonal glands and organs are in their optimum working order.
