The enteric coating is derived directly from the sprout. During sprouting, all seeds naturally develop increased levels of antioxidant enzymes. WheatZymes tablet contains more than a quart of natural, sprouts with an excess of one million biological units of antioxidant enzymes. WheatZymes also contains three important nutrients, selenium and vitamins B12 and E. Selenium is a component of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which protects cells from free radical damage. Vitamin B12 is needed for carbohydrate and fat metabolism and plays an important role in the nervous system.
Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant.
The enzyme connection Within any given cell, an enzyme often exists in an inactive state known as a zymogen. In essence, it is the antecedent of the active enzyme. The body may convert the zymogen into an active enzyme within the cell, or the zymogen may become active when the body secretes it and it comes into contact with some other substance. In either case, the body must have a ready supply of the parts it needs to complete the construction of the active enzyme. Young, newly sprouted plants are a rich source of the materials that our bodies need to create enzymes.
