Can enzymes help with musculoskeletal pain, swelling and inflammation?
Enzymes have been medically validated as a natural healing agent that can help to relive musculoskeletal pain, swelling and inflammation. Enzymes work by breaking up what medical scientists call circulating immune complexes (CICs) that are at the root of inflammation. Chronic pain conditions almost always involve CICs. These circulating complexes of damaged proteins made up of cellular antibodies, antigens, and diseased tissue-accumulate in body parts such as the blood vessels, joints, and other tissues where they become systemic irritants, causing inflammation, and delaying the healing process. Enzymes, with their proteolic capabilities, help to breakup and destroy these bad proteins and immune complexes, helping the immune system to do its job better by removing inflammatory substances.
