Enzymes are molecules
that speed up chemical reactions in all living things. Without
enzymes, these reactions would occur too slowly or not at all,
and no life  would
be possible. Enzymes serve as a catalysts, making things happen,
and can perform their entire function a million times a minute.
The human body has thousands of kinds of enzymes with each kind
doing a specific job. Without them a person could not breathe,
see, move or digest food.
All food has enzymes
to help with digestion, but enzymes are destroyed by heat, so
the body must use up its own enzymes to digest processed, pasteurized
 and
cooked food. As we get older, our body produces less enzymes
and this causes us to start slowing down. LIFE QUEST HERBS'
OVER FIFTY SUPPORT combination is designed to supply some
of these enzymes and help to stimulate the body. The herbs contained
in OVER FIFTY SUPPORT are those that encourage enzymatic
action. The herbs used in LIFE QUEST HERBS' formulas
are not heated, irradiated or processed, and therefor still
contain all the vital enzymes.
White poplar holds
a high position in herbal medicine as a universal tonic,  given
freely whenever a tonic is needed. It is probably one of the
best tonics for old age or when a person is constitutionally
weak from disease. When there is headache related to poor digestion
- and many, many headaches are so related - white poplar is
very good to relieve it. It contains the natural compounds that
have been synthesized into the main ingredient for aspirin,
and although it is not as immediate as aspirin, its tonic effects
are much more healing.
