Enzymes - The Fountain of Life

Enzymes, the biological catalysts, have aptly been called "Fountain of Life". Enzymes, ubiquitously found in nature, are responsible for the myriad reactions taking place in our bodies. Not only do they orchestrate the break down of complex molecules into simple molecules, they also regulate and control each and every process that keeps the body functioning harmoniously. Consequently, their therapeutic applications are varied and far-reaching.

Enzymes have a central importance in ensuring the equilibrium-between activation and inhibition-of the reactions of the immune system, which leads to tissue damage in almost every disease. Mechanism of action of enzymes in these conditions is by enzymatic interruption of the complement cascade, breakdown of pathogenic immune complexes and activation of macrophages.
