Injury is a common problem with all those who are athletic -
especially professionals and Olympians. Sports medicine doctors
know that they can’t prevent injuries, so they look for
methods to heal players as quickly as possible.
Karate fighters experience considerable injuries so doctors
chose them as a test group for a double-blind study using oral
enzymes and placebos. Those taking enzymes three times a day
before the events healed 50% quicker than those taking the
placebos.
The German Olympic team doctors conducted similar tests with
all types of athletes. The results were comparable for 82% of the
players, and soreness from strenuous events was considerably
less.
Athletic Injuries and Surgery
Professor Raas of the University of Innsbruck, who is
responsible for the health of Austrian athletes in the Winter
Olympic games, also confirmed those findings. He stated a good
portion of the success achieved by the athletes under his care
would not have been possible without enzyme preparations.
He advises even casual athletes to take enzymes daily to
lessen the effects of potential injury. Another benefit of
enzymes is that they regulate your metabolism. The less enzymes
in your body, the lower your energy level. Those with chronic
fatigue can improve with enzyme supplementation.
Doctors elsewhere have found that oral enzymes taken before
surgery accelerate healing, and allow patients to be discharged
from hospitals quicker and resume their daily routines sooner.
