I often recommend enzymes over any other type of pain reliever because they work so well and are very safe. Technically, an enzyme is any of various types of proteins which act as catalysts to speed up the body s biochemical processes. Without enzymes, life cannot exist. Enzymes are the tools that create life. All living material contains enzymes.
Enzymes control the chemical reactions of all organisms, big or small.
Enzymes act as catalysts. They work in a lock and key manner to change the structure of molecules by splitting them or combining them. More than three thousand different enzymes have been identified in the human body. They build new proteins, cells, tissues, and organs. Enzymes such as bromelain and papain are derived from plants, particularly pineapples and papayas.
