Enzymes are protenaceous catalysts of biological activities.They generaly lie dormant until activated to fullfill there purpose.When activated by juiceing,blending or eating the reaction begins.As catalysts,enzymes are capable of increasing the rate and effectivness of a reaction without being CONSUMED in the process.Thus the reaction continues until purpose is fullfilled.Enzymes are not living but are found in all living things!Enzymes dont die they become inactive when there purpose is fullfilled or become denatured by extremes of temp. or ph.There are over 700 differant enzymes that have been studied of millions.And what is a super-fantastic equalizing phoneomena?!
