Inflammation: Inflammation is often a matter of circulation. The capillaries are small blood vessels responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing waste. After an injury, some of these capillaries may be damaged, making them incapable of carrying blood to and from the damaged tissue. The result is pain, swelling, redness, heat and loss of function. By repairing the capillaries, the bruises, swelling and pain disappear. Proteolytic enzymes (enzymes that have the ability to break down protein) have been shown to increase blood flow in the damaged capillary, improve circulation and speed healing. Once in the blood stream proteolytic enzymes hydrolyze (digest) the protein responsible for impeding blood flow. Additionally, these same proteases have been shown to support immune function and accelerate elimination of free radicals and waste materials by way of the lymphatic system. Recovery: In a recent study, runners were given protease supplements or a placebo four times a day for three days. This consisted of 24 hours before and 48 hours after running. The participants were evaluated for mood, muscle soreness and pain threshold 24 and 48 hours after running 30 minutes at about 7 miles per hour. The result was less soreness, improved pain threshold and no mood change with those taking the proteolytic supplements over the group who took the placebo. This is not new.
