Recently, friends in Weibo are crazy about Amway, a Japanese enzyme fruit, yeast powder and so on. It is said that many female friends are eager to lose weight. But what is an enzyme? Can enzymes really lose weight?

What is an enzyme?

1. Simply put, enzymes are the general name of thousands of enzymes that undertake the most basic life activities of human beings.

In organisms, enzymes help organisms break down various substances and carry out metabolism. No matter animals or plants, as long as there is life, there must be enzymes. Enzymes are closely related to the synthesis, decomposition, transportation, excretion, energy supply and maintenance of the most basic life activities in organisms. Without enzymes, living things can't survive. The amount of enzymes in the body is closely related to the youth, health, disease and aging of organisms.

2. In Japanese, enzymes are called enzymes. Taiwan Province Province copied the word Japanese, while the mainland copied Taiwan Province Province. The enzyme is protein, which will denature or even decompose under the action of protease in gastric acid and digestive juice after oral administration, so it has no biological activity. This is the mystery of enzymes. It sounds that "enzyme" is more foreign than "enzyme".

Can enzymes lose weight?

1, the enzyme is an enzyme, and the enzyme is protein. Can protein detoxify? It is meaningless to say that enzymes can detoxify and defecate.

2. If the enzymes "fat removal" and "detoxification" are really effective, then it can only be suspected that some ingredients have been illegally added. Detoxification is a very general concept and cannot be evaluated. Enzymes introduced in the market mainly remove toxins from the body, promote metabolism, remove wastes from the body and maintain the function of intestinal probiotics. Some of them are amazing, saying that they can promote cell regeneration, purify blood, resist bacteria and inflammation, balance the immune system and fight cancer. It is difficult to measure the concrete effect of these words and to have an accurate definition. It can even be said that most vegetables and fruits have these functions.

3. It is risky to lose weight with homemade enzymes, because it is difficult to control the concentration and intake of such homemade enzymes, but it is easy to consume too much energy. Some enzymes use more sugar than fruit, which must be too sweet. In addition, some methods are fermented by squeezing juice, and this enzyme loses the beneficial dietary fiber in fruits and vegetables.
