A Plant / Fruit Enzyme complex is one of the twenty two ingredients contained in SenSatiaFruit.

Enzymes are fundamental to all living processes in the body, necessary for every chemical reaction and the normal activity of our organs, tissues, fluids, and cells. There are hundreds of thousands of these "workers of Nature." All the vitamins, minerals, and hormones we rely on, need enzymes to work. Enzymes move our muscles, stimulate our nerves, make our heart beat, and keep us breathing. Enzymes are specialized living proteins that enable your body to digest and assimilate proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and plant fibers.

There are three classes of enzymes. These include plant or food enzymes, found in all raw foods, which start food digestion; digestive enzymes, which are secreted by the pancreas to digest our food; and metabolic enzymes, produced in the cells to run all body processes. However, "only plant enzymes initiate digestion in the stomach, which is why when you take plant enzymes it spares the pancreas from doing all of your digestion." Unlike conventional drugs that control body chemistry, plant enzymes enhance nourishment, so that the body can control itself.

Even though all of the 16 fruits used in SenSatiaFruit contain their own natural enzymes, we choose to fortify SenSatiaFruit with this special Plant / Fruit Enzyme complex.

This was done to assist the body with digestion and utilization of the fruit nutrients as quickly as possible.
