Enzymes & Weight Gain

Enzymes are ‘proteins’ that facilitate various chemical reactions in the body: digesting, absorbing, and metabolising food, as well as discharging what is unnecessary.

Enzymes decrease steadily with age, however – so even if we consume the same amount of food, weight gain will occur because the amount of enzymes decreases. This explains metabolism decline.

Fruit and plant extracts help the body from accumulating fat on the intestinal level. They promote digestion and break down proteins, fats and sugars. They also promote peristalsis of the colon and soften hard faeces.

Cactus enzymes, in particular, are known for their ability to bind dietary fat. The pink-coloured cactus species from Penghu Island, Taiwan has high SOD content that helps revitalise aged intestines – a ground-breaking discovery in the fight against body fat.
