We have dealt with internal destruction of supplemental enzymes once they enterrepparttar 113870 acid environment of our stomach. It’s nice to know that vegetable-based enzymes, such as those found in Bio88+ (Plus), actually thrive in our stomach and intestines. But…can proteases be dangerous?

Used appropriately, these enzymes pose no danger torepparttar 113871 consumer. The biggest problem with enzymes isrepparttar 113872 inhalation of large quantities of enzyme dust by people who work around enzymes a great deal, or getting large quantities on one’s skin, such as in manufacturing plants. In both circumstances, enzymes can cause irritation, itching, and discomfort. It is rarely a problem with normal digestive use.

Well, how about will enzymes digest my mouth, stomach or intestines?

If this were true,repparttar 113873 enzymes produced by your own body would have already digested you away. These enzymes much preferrepparttar 113874 denatured (cooked or damaged) proteins found in foods. Most proteins, in their healthy state, are coiled and globular in structure. This preventsrepparttar 113875 enzymes from having access to cleavage sites. When heated or in extremes of pH (like stomach acid),repparttar 113876 proteins uncoil, exposing sites whererepparttar 113877 enzyme can bind and cleave.

Also,repparttar 113878 cells of our bodies andrepparttar 113879 mucosal lining ofrepparttar 113880 gastrointestinal tract contain protease inhibitors that inactivate certain protease enzymes. The mucosal layer acts as a physical barrier to proteolytic activity on living cells. The pancreas exposes your small intestine to a barrage of enzymes every time you eat, andrepparttar 113881 enzymes do not break downrepparttar 113882 intestine. If enzyme powder remains onrepparttar 113883 lips or gums for a prolonged time, it may break down some ofrepparttar 113884 layer of dead cells that covers our mouth and throat (the whitish_colored layer). Whenrepparttar 113885 fresh, raw layer of tissue comes into contact with saliva,repparttar 113886 person may feel slight irritation. If you open a capsule to mix it with food, make sure you drink something afterwards to wash any enzyme residue down. Because amylase is in saliva, you have a constant supply of enzymes in your mouth allrepparttar 113887 time anyway.

Enzymes, Can I Become Dependent

We have learned that Proteases and Enzymes are not dangerous to our health and well-being, but rather, essential to our overall health and well-being. It’s nice to know that vegetable-based enzymes, such as those found in Bio88+ (Plus), actually thrive in our stomach and intestines and are good for us. But…

If I use supplemental oral enzymes will I become “hooked” (dependent) upon oral enzymes or enzyme supplements? And will they “shut down” my pancreas?

No. Research has shown some adaptability ofrepparttar 113869 pancreas in animals; giving oral enzymes resulted in a slight decrease in pancreatic enzyme output that quickly returned to normal once supplementing with enzymes stopped. The pancreas does not stop functioning.

One ofrepparttar 113870 “neat tricks” you can play upon yourself if you are feeling “acid indigestion” is to take a teaspoon of vinegar…and see what happens to your “acid indigestion”! If you get relief in a short period of time (it usually does) then you really had a lack of enzymes or enzyme activity in your stomach and not an “acid” stomach. And you probably “need” an enzyme supplement in order to return your stomach and intestines to proper balance and functioning.
