An enzyme deficiency is genetic condition characterized by inability to produce an enzyme or underproduction of that enzyme, leading to health problems caused by problems with the metabolism
Although you may be eating healthy foods and exercising, other factors can overrun your body's ability to produce a high enough enzyme level to maintain good health. Some of these factors include environmental stressors, such as air or electromagnetic pollution; emotional stress, such as job loss, loss of a loved one, or a chronic relationship conflict; lack of raw foods in the diet; other lifestyle stress, such as frequent business travel, lack of sleep, or job and family demands. All of these conditions either inhibit the body's ability to produce enzymes, or put the body into stress because normal levels of enzymes are being used up and not sufficiently replaced.
Here are some indicators to look for that may point to a enzyme deficiency.
Protease Deficiency:
Protease digests protein. Acidity is created through the digestion of protein. Therefore a protease deficiency results in an alkaline excess in the blood. This alkaline environment can cause anxiety and insomnia. In addition, since protein is required to carry protein-bound calcium in the blood, a protease deficiency lays the foundation for arthritis, osteoporosis and other calcium-deficient diseases.
And because protein is converted to glucose upon demand, inadequate protein digestion leads to hypoglycemia, resulting in moodiness, mood swings and irritability.
Protease also has an ability to digest unwanted debris in the blood including certain bacteria and viruses. Therefore, protease deficient people are immune compromised, making them susceptible to bacterial, viral and yeast infections and a general decrease in immunity.
Amylase Deficiency:
Amylase digests carbohydrates along with dead white blood cells. When you are low in amylase you are a candidate for abscesses. An Amylase deficiency can result in skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema, hives, allergic reactions to bee and bug stings, atopic dermatitis, and all types of herpes. Asthma and emphysema may also be exacerbated by an amylase deficiency.
Lipase Deficiency:
Lipase digests fat and fat-soluble vitamins, lipase deficient people can be expected to have a tendency toward high cholesterol, high triglycerides, difficulty losing weight and diabetes. Lipase deficient people also have decreased cell permeability, meaning nutrients cannot get in and the waste cannot get out.
Cellulase Deficiency Conditions:
Cellulase breaks down the fiber in our diet. Because our body does not produce cellulase, this food enzyme is essential. ONLY RAW FOODS contain cellulase. Of all the enzymes, this deficiency carries with it the most categories of problems.
The symptoms of cellulase deficiency can best be described as malabsorption of nutrients, vitamins, or minerals from the diet by the lining of the small intestine. Malabsorption has many symptoms including lower abdominal gas, pain, bloating and problems associated with the jejunum and pancreas.
What would happen if we do not have enough enzymes? The fact is an enzyme deficiency can manifest itself as a variety of conditions. Here is a brief look at causes and symptoms.
Sucrase, Lactase & Maltase Deficiency:
People who have malabsorption syndrome and cellulase deficiency also have a tendency towards sugar (sucrose, lactose, and maltose) and/or gluten intolerance.
Sucrose intolerant people cannot split the sucrose disaccharide into twin partners, two units of glucose. And glucose is a primary brain food, so expect mental and emotional problems in people who cannot get glucose into the brain. Symptoms include depression, moodiness, panic attacks, manic and schizophrenic behaviour and severe mood swings.
Lactose intolerant people also have classic symptoms which include abdominal cramps and diarrhea and other allergic symptoms,, ie: asthma.
Maltose intolerant people are generally sensitive to environmental conditions. Gluten intolerance is associated with Celiac Disease and Malabsorption Syndrome. It is also associated with Crohn’s Disease. When gluten intolerant people eat gluten containing foods, the brush borders of the jejunum are injured and thus unable to secrete the disaccharides (sucrase, lactase, and maltase) leading to sugar intolerance.

So what does enzyme do?
6 Key functions of enzymes
ECoordinating body’s internal environment
ENZYME is able to reduce blood acidity and make the blood weakly alkaline, eliminate foreign substances in the body, maintain the balance of intestinal flora, strengthen the cells, enhance digestion, increase body immunity, normalize hormone balance and maintain equilibrium in the body generally.
Anti-Inflammation
Bacteria nesting and growing on wounded cells cause inflammation. Enzymes on their own do not heal inflammation; however, they transport and enhance the function of leucocytes, which provide the power for the wound cells to heal.
Anti-Bacteria
Apart from assisting leucocytes to eliminate bacteria, ENZYME has its own anti-bacteria property to kill bacteria. It also stimulates the regeneration of new cells to achieve the objective of complete cure.
Disintegrating Capability
ENZYME helps to disintegrate metabolic waste accumulated at infected body parts or in blood vessels, thus helping the body to regain its usual function. It helps to enhance food digestion and absorption of nutrients into our bloodstream to replenish nutrients and alleviate fatigue.
Blood Cleansing
ENZYME eliminates metabolic waste in blood, disintegrates inflammatory virus and cholesterol in acidic blood and maintains blood in low alkaline level for smoother blood circulation.

G6PD deficiency ;
is a genetic disorder that is passed down on the X chromosome. A person who has this diagnosis cannot get rid of it. However, the enzyme levels can fluctuate in people and certain illnesses, exposures, and stresses can make the symptoms of the disease appear when these enzyme levels drop low. So you may not have symptoms of the disease, even though you still have the diagnosis.
