proteolytic enzyme therapy

Proteolytic enzyme therapy involves using specific enzymes to help break down proteins in the body. These enzymes, naturally produced by the pancreas, assist in digestion by degrading food proteins. In therapeutic settings, supplemental proteolytic enzymes are taken to reduce inflammation, improve immune response, and support tissue repair. They can be used for conditions like inflammation, pain, or immune system support. The therapy aims to enhance the body's natural healing processes by ensuring proteins and damaged tissue are efficiently broken down and removed, promoting overall recovery and health.
