About Enzymes & Unleash

Enzymes are found in all cells and fluids in the body. They are specialized protein substances that speed up and help create chemical reactions to sustain life.

Many enzymes are killed above 118 degrees Fahrenheit so are not in abundance in commercial dog food. Enzymes are also needed for all kinds of digestion, particularly for correct functioning of the stomach and the pancreas. Pepsin is the stomach's protein-splitting enzyme and rennin, only present in puppies, causes milk to coagulate, changing its protein casein into a usable form. Enzymes control, promote and guide life's vital processes including the action of muscles, storage of energy, breathing, digestion and reproduction.

Cooked foods also rob the stomach, salivary glands and intestines of enzymes, of which there seems to be a finite reservoir in the body. If various organs and glands are continually robbed of their own enzymes, which must be used to digest food, then body breakdown will occur prematurely.

Studies from the Center for the Advancement of Cancer Education have shown that pancreatic enzymes selectively destroy cancer cells. If the pancreas is provided with correct enzymes through the feeding of a correct diet, it is believe that those enzymes can protect the body against cancer.

One third of the body's energy is required for the process of digestion. By using enzyme supplements, the time needed for digestion is reduced. Raw foods contain enzymes and therefore actually enhance wellness.

Aging is directly related to enzyme robbing. Enzymes are catalysts, which means they cause an internal action without being destroyed or changed in the process. Each enzyme acts on a specific food and one cannot be substituted for another. Enzyme deficiencies often mean the difference between health and sickness.

Unleash starts working in the stomach to make sure food is broken down correctly before reaching the small intestine. This is particularly suited to animals whose breath smells and who cannot put on weight. It works throughout the digestive tract ensuring food is correctly broken down, absorbed and used.

You can also use Unleash if you have a breed that is predisposed to bloat or cancer. Other signs that show a need for enzymes include production of too much gas in the intestines, poor skin and hair coat, reproductive difficulties, changes in vision, fatigue, depression, muscle pains, cramps in chest and back, change in the texture of the hair, brittle nails and all early cancer signs.
