By enzymatically cleaving the toxic carbohydrate portion of gliadin, plant amylase preparations render grains like wheat and rye virtually harmless to individuals with gluten enteropathy.16, 17 With the prevalence and wide range of documented research, it is obvious that plant enzymes benefit specific conditions in the body. Much of this research has gone unrecognized by some health care professionals, particularly the research dealing with the intact absorption of food substrates. This research proves undoubtedly that non-digested food substrates do enter the blood and that plant enzymes can greatly benefit the bloodstream by breaking down different food substrates that otherwise would be passed into the blood without being fully digested. This research supports and is confirmed by the findings of the live blood tests before and after taking Vital Produx's pure plant enzymes. Macromolecules can and do pass intact from the human gut into the bloodstream under normal conditions.11, 25 This has been described as the "leaky bowel" phenomenon and may help to explain the apparent effectiveness of plant enzyme therapy in the nutritional management of conditions, including food allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, immune dysfunction and certain inflammatory disorders.18, 19, 35-43 > Plant Enzyme Therapy continued Home | Product Line | Endorsements | FAQs | Research | Order Products VITAL PRODUX™ 1350 Beverly Rd, Suite 115-193 McLean, Virginia  22101-3633  USA 1-888-668-2241 – FAX: 540-752-4765 E-mail: [email protected] Copyright © 1996-1999, Direct Marketers International.
