Try Proteolytic Enzymes

Proteolytic enzymes help regulate protein functions. Your body produces these enzymes naturally, but production slows as you age. Some of the food you eat – cooked or processed meat, for example – causes the enzymes to be diverted from their main role to help digest the food. Proteolytic enzymes also combat inflammation by neutralizing biochemicals associated with the problem. Between the body’s natural slowdown in enzyme production and diversion of the enzymes for digestion, you are losing a soldier, so to speak, in the battle against inflammation caused by free radical damage. Supplements work well in replacing those lost enzymes. You can find proteolytic enzyme supplements at any health food store.
