Enzymes: The Unsung Heroes of Health
Enzymes are essential proteins that act as catalysts for countless biochemical reactions within your body. They're involved in everything from digestion and energy production to immune function and cellular repair. Our enzyme products complement the body’s own digestive enzymes to support more thorough breakdown of foods.

Understanding Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that help reactions to occur quickly in the body. The kind of enzymes Houston Enzymes produces are highly purified from fungal or fruit sources and are mainly for digestion.
Enzymes work as catalysts of biochemical reactions. A catalyst increases or accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction. Digestive enzymes break down proteins, carbohydrates or fats.
The nice thing about enzymes is that if the particular molecule they work on is not present, the enzyme does nothing. For example, if you take the enzyme lactase and the lactose it works on is not present, the enzyme has no job and does nothing. It will get passed on in the gastrointestinal tract as food protein.
Digestion starts in the mouth and moves through the gastrointestinal tract, ending in the small intestine. Along the way, enzymes break food down into smaller particles for nutrient absorption.
Enzymes are not the same as probiotics. Enzymes enhance the digestion of foods by breaking them down. Probiotics don't contribute much to the breakdown of foods, and mainly help support the immune functions of the gut. Another difference is enzymes start working quickly to break down foods, while probiotics need time to multiply and get established in the gut.
