ABOUT PHYTOGENICS




THE PHYTOGENICS EDGE!
Phytogenics has created a range of 100% natural herbal co enzyme blends that contain vitamins, minerals and trace elements to assist in the binding of enzymes. Many years of research has been invested in the development of the Phytogenics range. This is to ensure that each product has been specifically formulated to support and balance certain dis-ease processes in the body, which are due to a deficiency in certain co-enzymes.
ENZYMES AND COENZYMES
Most biochemical reactions in the body are regulated by enzymes. An enzyme is a biological macromolecule made up of proteins. The main function of an enzyme is to catalyze a specific biochemical reaction inside the cell at body temperature and pH. Enzymes are the biological catalysts on which all biological systems depend on and therefore play a critical role in the maintenance of life. Coenzymes are organic compounds that facilitate the action of enzymes and can bind temporarily or permanently to an enzyme which allows for an enzyme or protein to function efficiently.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMO’s) AND THE EFFECT ON OUR BODIES
A significant percentage of processed foods purchased today contain some genetically engineered (GE) food products. As a result, each day, tens of millions of infants, children and adults around the world eat genetically engineered foods without their knowledge.
The process of Genetic engineering, removes essential coenzymes and allows, foreign genes, bacterial and viral vectors, viral promoters and antibiotic marker systems to be engineered into food, by adding a specific stretch of DNA into the plant's genome, which in turn creates a protein with new or different characteristics, which now lacks vital coenzymes.
These new or different proteins can have very harmful effects on the human body and may produce unpredictable allergenic effects and toxicity in the body, as the body is unable to process the genetically modified plants due to the break down of coenzymes in the plants.
Six Potential Human Health risks posed by genetic engineering:
-
Toxicity
-
Allergic Reactions
-
Antibiotic Resistance
-
Immuno-suppression
-
Cancer
-
Loss of Nutrition
