The Friendly Enzymes are measured using measurements established by the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC). The FCC is published by the National Academy Press which is funded by the Food and Nutritional Board of the National Research Council (an appendage of the FDA).

Yes, there is a Body Measurements Journal where you can record your measurements for your: Chest, Waist, Hips/Buttocks, Bicep, Forearm, Thigh, and Calf. You can also record your body fat percentage, by having the program calculate it for you or by entering your own measured value.

Enzymes are added to coagulate the milk in the cheese production process. We use microbial-based enzymes.

The Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) regulates enzymes. The FCC is published by the National Academy Press, which is funded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council. The FCC establishes the standards for food and food substances used in food processing. It is the only national standard for the evaluation of fungal enzymes. Not all enzyme manufacturers use FCC units and are not required to do so by law.

Enzymes are one of the most essential elements in our body. They are responsible for constructing, synthesizing, carrying, dispensing, delivering, and eliminating the many ingredients and chemicals our body uses in its daily business of living. Digestive enzymes break down the food we eat, releasing nutrients for energy production and cell growth and repair. [back to top]

The reason we are running out of enzymes is a LIFESTYLE PROBLEM. Research has shown that older people and people with chronic disease have fewer enzymes in their saliva, urine and tissues. Our poor dietary habits require excessive amounts of enzymes to digest our foods. Stress kills and damages cells, resulting in our enzyme-making machinery having to work overtime to help rebuild and replace them.

When speaking about digestive enzyme formulas, no. As active protein molecules, the enzymes do not accumulate in the body. They impart enzymatic activity that lasts anywhere from one to four hours and then they are eliminated from the body or the proteins are broken down and the amino acids are used for other purposes. As with any herbal or nutritional supplement, evaluation of amounts and over consumption should be determined on an individual basis. [back to top]

Enzymes are substances, which make life possible. They are proteins needed for every chemical reaction that occurs in the body, functioning as catalysts that either start chemical reactions or make them run faster. Without enzymes, no activity at all would take place. Vitamins, minerals and hormones could do no work - without enzymes.

Friendly fire is one of the most dangerous types. It is when friends or allies mistake you for enemy and shoot at you, or when your own or allied artillery make a mistake about location and drop shells on you or when supporting aircraft make a position error and drop napalm or bombs on you. In any event you wind up dead or injured by the actions of your 'friends'. The famous American Civil War General "Stonewall" Jackson was killed by 'friendly fire'.

Do not take the measurements yourself. Ask a friend to help you or have your measurements taken by a professional tailor or seamstress. Make sure to measure yourself (with undergarments only) and compare to the dress measurements listed with the gown. Keep in mind that Evening/Bridal dresses usually run differently (usually 1-2 sizes smaller) than daywear. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are always glad to help. Please see our How to Measure page for more details.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) - SEO is not a secret. SEO is preformed by having knowledge of Google Guidelines and going beyond them. SEO Firms - Services that SEO firms would charge ($1,000 USD - $5,000 USD) on a monthly basis are included with the membership of Shopping Cart Elite.

Some have wondered whether enzyme products can replace a casein-free, gluten-free diet. Enzymes are not a one-to-one equivalent for food elimination because enzymes accomplish much more than a restrictive diet. Remember that enzymes are specific to the foods they break down, so you need to have the right enzymes for the corresponding food type. If using enzymes instead of a restrictive diet is your goal, you need to look for a product specific and effective enough for this purpose.
