Enzymes

All biochemical processes causing the condition of the body, carried out with the participation of enzymes, which act as biological catalysts. As catalysts enzymes reduce the activation energy barriers biochemical processes. Their specificity applies to both the reacting molecules and the chemical reaction itself.

Enzymes used in medical practice in origin divided into plant protease (Papain, Bromelain), and animal nature (Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Pancreatin, amylase, lipase). Each substance is used for its intended action: Amylase - breaks down carbohydrate compounds, the lipase - is involved in lipid metabolism, protease - is involved in protein metabolism.

There are various pharmacological agents, such as - Pancreatin, Festal, Festalum, Digistal, Panzinorm in which a combination of enzymes and their dosage are out that the drug performs the role of substitution in case of insufficiency of the pancreas, stomach, intestines, liver, gall bladder; help digest food when it is abundant (for example, when training on muscle volume). Trypsin, Chymotrypsin are widely used in trauma, postoperative, providing faster recovery.

Systemic enzyme therapy is a modern method of treatment, based on a comprehensive action purposefully composed mixture of hydrolytic enzymes in key physiological and pathophysiological processes primarily through non-specific and specific immune mechanisms.

Polyenzyme drugs are effective means of broad spectrum anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous, fibrinolytic, immunomodulatory and secondary analgesic effect. Preparations Wobenzym, Phlogenzym, Wobe-mugos are already been successfully used for many years in clinical and sports practice in some countries.

The composition of the preparations:

- Wobenzym - Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Bromelain, Papain, Amylase, Lipase, Pancreatin, Rutin.

- Phlogenzym - Trypsin, Bromelain, Rutin.

-Wobe-mugos E - Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Papain.

The composition is selected in such a way that all the Pathogenetic links enzymatic processes were covered by their action.

You can pay attention to Phenotropil.

All systemic enzyme therapy drugs have the same contraindications. An absolute contraindication is hypersensitivity to the substances contained in the preparations. Because of side effects at higher doses, sometimes it marked flatulence, and very rarely - a feeling of malaise. This can be avoided by dividing the daily dose into more steps.

Typically, dragees taking fasting for at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after a meal. Drops are not chewed and washed down with plenty of water.

The use of enzymes to withstand the load of increased training volume and intensity, increases the adaptive reserves and the development of near-limit of stress, and promotes faster recovery period, which is confirmed by biochemical and psycho-functional tests.

Improves cerebral circulation.

Marked increase in indicators of psychophysical health. Improving efficiency is accompanied by an increase in psychomotor tone, improvement of activity of the central performance, persistence and vigor. There has been a significant decline in mental tension.

Aftereffect of month course (Wobenzym 3-10 pills 3 times a day) persists for 10-14 days.

The use of enzymes in sports endurance during intense workouts, allowing to maintain the level of hemoglobin, to avoid the loss of potassium and calcium ions, to improve efficiency of energy consumption, to normalize the tone of the arterioles and venules (fade signs of venous outflow). The concentration of lactate during exercise on average decreases slightly.

When sports injuries may use enzyme therapy, taking into account the range of pharmacological effects:

anti-inflammatory, anti, analgesic, thrombolytic, immunomodulatory, and pathological changes in injured muscles, joints, bones and for the treatment of disaster recovery of damaged tissues. The drugs in doses of 3x10 and 3x3 pills pills already on the 2nd day of the application of reduced pain, swelling, tension of the damaged segment of a limb; a week later the swelling subsides, there is a slight pain on palpation, muscle tension disappears, range of motion in the injured limb corresponds to the amplitude of the healthy limb.
