How Enzymes Prevent Acne

“Enzymes are proteins that facilitate chemical reactions in living organisms. In fact, they are required for every single chemical action that takes place in your body. All of your tissues, muscles, bones, organs, and cells are run by enzymes .

Your digestive system, immune system, bloodstream, liver, kidneys, spleen, and pancreas, as well as your ability to see, think, feel, and breathe, (in fact, the very functioning of each and every cell in your body) all depend on enzymes. All of the minerals and vitamins you eat and all of the hormones your body produces need enzymes in order to work properly. In fact, every single metabolic function in your body is governed by enzymes. Your stamina, your energy level, your ability to utilize vitamins and minerals, your immune system –all governed by enzymes.

The vast majority of metabolic enzymes in the body — the enzymes that regulate everything from liver function to the immune system – are proteases, or proteolytic enzymes –enzymes that regulate protein function in the body.” Now what does all this have to do with acne? Let’s divide enzymes into two groups based on how we use them: digestive and systematic.

As the name indicates, the digestive enzymes break nutrients into smaller molecules that your body can absorb. Without these enzymes the digestive process would come to grinding halt and food would just putrefy inside the digestive track. Your body can’t utilize partially digested food.

Taking digestive enzymes along with your food significantly improves digestion and prevents food from putrefying. Take off the undigested food and you have taken a big step in preventing adult acne.

That would obviously be a major step in curing and preventing acne, but the goods on enzymes don’t stop there. The second group of enzymes is systematic enzymes or, as some people call them, proteolytic enzymes.

Systematic enzymes are not used for digestion, but they enter the bloodstream and are transported all over your body. Having these enzymes floating around your body has a huge number of health benefits, but I’m going to focus on those that have a direct implication on curing and preventing acne.

Let’s use a small metaphor to illustrate a point here. Just for a little while imagine that the immune system is like a big gun that your body uses to fend of bad guys like bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi etc…

Systematic (proteolytic) enzymes are the ammunition for that gun. Bacteria, viruses, molds and fungi are protein/amino acid based, and are literally digested by systematic enzymes.

Can you see how that might help with acne? Systematic enzymes can literally eat away acne-causing bacteria.

Systematic enzymes can also clean your blood and lymph. Systematic enzymes are the primary tools the body uses to “digest” organic debris in the circulatory and lymph systems. What this means is that it takes some of the load off from the liver, giving your liver more time to clean toxins, chemicals and other poisons in your body.
