Data from over sixty years revealed that there has not been one report of side effects from enzyme consumption. More long term studies may be needed.

From Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-3-R (American Psychiatric Association, 1987): Basically, overdosing on caffeine will probably be very very unpleasant but not kill or deliver permanent damage. However, People do die from it. Toxic dose The LD_50 of caffeine (that is the lethal dosage reported to kill 50% of the population) is estimated at 10 grams for oral administration. As it is usually the case, lethal dosage varies from individual to individual according to weight. See similar questions...

Heroin slows down breathing, and can stop it altogether. Most heroin overdoses occur when heroin is combined with other drugs with a depressant effect, particularly alcohol and sleeping pills like Valium or Normison. While overdoses caused by a single high IV dose of pure heroin may cause immediate death, many overdose victims do not fall into an immediate coma as is often the portrayal of OD in popular culture.

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

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. See similar questions...

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] See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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] See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

No. Essences are non-toxic as there is no physically active constituent in an essence. Even the quantity of alcohol used to preserve the essence would be minimal if consumed in large quantities. See similar questions...

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). See similar questions...

No, CellFood is a nutritional supplement made from natural substances. The body only uses what it needs, and eliminates the rest through the normal channels of elimination. See similar questions...
