When you eat, your body uses most of its enzymes for digestion. Fasting while taking high-dose enzymes may redirect that capacity elsewhere, speeding detoxification and other functions. The BiOptimizers co-founders explain their approach using protease-heavy formulations.
A large amount of our enzyme production is diverted to digestion.
I'm still fascinated by this whole concept of fasting and taking large amounts of enzymes.
If you've got, say 100 units capacity of making enzymes in your body and 80 of those are being used up because you have to augment your digestive process, you only have an availability of 20% of your enzymatic production to perform all of these other functions. Well, if that's true, then if I take a mega dosage of enzymes while I'm fasting, can I accelerate the benefits and the results or alleviate some of the liabilities of extended fasts? I felt better. The detoxification was accelerated. So I think that's what accelerates the mechanism of fasting is the freeing up of your natural enzymatic production. So what we're doing is we're augmenting it through exogenous enzymes. Mass times particularly that focuses on a high amount of protease because we feel that's the most bang for your buck.
