消化 Digestion 消化：分解我們所吃的食物並轉化為適合人體吸收 和同化的物質。 消化兩大類： 1. 機械 - 咀嚼食物，胃的蠕動 2. 化學 - 消化酵素，膽汁 Digestion: break down the food we eat into a substance suitable for absorption and assimilation into the body. Two Major Types of Digestion: 1. Mechanical – chewing food, churning of the stomach 2. Chemical – digestive enzymes, bile

什麼是酵素？ What is Enzyme? 酵素是生物催化劑。它們加快大多數生物作用，否則這些作用 將過於緩慢。 Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up most of the reactions in the body which would otherwise be far too slow.

什麼是酵素？ What is Enzyme? 主要由蛋白質組成，對熱、酸鹼�敏感為酵素的 特徵。 Enzymes are made of protein, a sensitive substance whose structure is altered easily by temperature or p. H.

生活中的酵素 Enzymes in everyday life • 酵素洗衣粉 • 隱形眼鏡的清洗酵素 • 蔬果等食物 • Enzymatic laundry detergents • Enzymatic contact lens cleaners • Fruits and vegetables

什麼是消化酵素？ What is Digestive Enzymes? 消化酵素分解大分子為小分子，直至細小到足以穿過腸壁。 Digestive enzymes break down large molecules into ones small enough to pass through the intestine wall.

為什麼要補充消化酵素？ Why take supplement ? 當酵素不是在適當的水平，營養缺乏症或會發生。 當食物不能正確地代謝和吸收，消化問題可能惡化。 When enzymes are not at adequate levels, nutrient deficiencies may occur. When food is not well metabolized and absorbed, digestive issues can be worsen.

一項雙盲研究… A Double-Blind Study…

• 90骨關節炎疼痛患者 • 菠蘿酵素組 (N=45) – 雙�芬酸 組 (N=45) • 90 patients with painful osteoarthritis – Bromelain Enzymes group (N=45) – diclofenac group (N=45) Klein G, Kullich W, Schnitker J, Schwann H. Efficacy and tolerance of an oral enzyme combination in painful osteoarthritis of the hip. A double-blind, randomised study comparing oral enzymes with non -steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2006 Jan-Feb; 24(1): 25 -30.

• 6週觀察期 • 疼痛，關節僵硬和關節功能 • 6 weeks observation period • Pain, Joint stiffness and Function

結果：菠蘿酵素和雙�芬酸一樣有效減少疼痛， 僵硬和關節功能，卻比雙�芬酸有更好的耐受性 Results: Bromelain was as effective as diclofenac in standard scales of pain, stiffness and physical function, and better tolerated than the drug comparator.

症狀持續時間 Duration of symptoms 只用菠蘿酵素治療的病人比其他組的病人恢復得更快 • 菠蘿酵素： 6. 66天 • 菠蘿酵素+標準療法： 9. 06天 • 標準療法： 7. 95天 Patients treated with bromelain alone experienced a recovery that was significantly faster than patients in any of the other groups. • Bromelain: 6. 66 days • Bromelain and standard therapies: 9. 06 days • Standard therapies: 7. 95 days

白柳皮 White Willow Bark 柳樹皮成分包括類黃� 、單寧酸和水楊酸。柳樹 皮的活性成分被認為是水楊苷。在體內，水楊苷 被代謝為水楊醇，再轉化成水楊酸。白柳皮已被 證實可支持正常的血液流動。 Willow bark constituents include flavonoids, tannins and salicylates. The active constituent of willow bark is thought to be salicin. In the body, salicin is metabolized to salicyl alcohol and then to salicylic acid. White willow bark has been shown to support normal blood flow.
