DigestZen TerraZyme® Digestive Enzyme Complex is a proprietary blend of active whole-food enzymes and supporting cofactors that are often absent from cooked, processed, and preservative-laden foods. The powerful combination of digestive enzymes in DigestZen TerraZyme supports the continued production of enzymes that are critical to healthy biochemical functions, including the healthy digestion of nutrients and the cellular metabolism of nutrients to energy. DigestZen TerraZyme contains a variety of whole-food enzymes that aid in the digestion of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, and fiber.

Enzymes are specialized proteins that act as catalysts in almost all cell functions and chemical reactions throughout the body. Enzymes play a vital role in growth, healing, and reproduction. They are also necessary for breathing, thinking, immune function, hormone regulation, detoxification, and thousands of other biochemical functions. Enzymes are also necessary for the digestion of food nutrients and the conversion of nutrients into energy in cells.

Enzymes can be created inside and outside the body. Endogenous enzymes are produced in the body and can be classified as metabolic enzymes and digestive enzymes. Metabolic enzymes are active in blood, tissues and organs. Digestive enzymes are excreted by the liver and pancreas and help the body convert food into usable nutrients. Exogenous enzymes are enzymes that originate outside the body and are classified as food enzymes. Food enzymes are found in raw, unprocessed foods and help break down nutrients during digestion.
