What to Know About Enzymes for Respiratory Function

It’s hard to breathe when your body is full of mucus. Gross, yes, but also true! From time to time during the year, it’s normal to experience this annoyance.

Did you know that enzymes can actually help support respiratory function? Enzymes are experts at breaking down nutrients in the foods we eat, but some of them can also work beyond the digestive system. These systemic enzymes can enter the bloodstream, then move to the tissues that need their support.

In the case of your respiratory function, these enzymes help target the proteins in seasonal, outdoor and indoor irritants. And, if those irritants lead to excess mucus, some of the enzymes can help your body get rid of it — so you can breathe easy again!*
