A co-enzyme helps some enzymes function (not all enzymes have co-enzymes). Various vitamins and minerals also act as co-enzymes. Magnesium is an example. It activates many, many reactions. If it is not available to the enzyme, the enzyme cannot work.Also, not all enzymes are for digestion. There are lots of metabolic enzymes but they do other jobs besides food breakdown. CoQ10 is a co-enzyme and antioxidant. Here are some references: HealthNews - Although CoQ10 might be beneficial, if you want something to break down foods, assist with gut healing, and provide the other health benefits of digestive enzymes, you will need to look at true digestive enzymes see Supplements

Enzymes have been around a very long time. Hopefully this site will help reduce the learning curve. Ideas, comments, and questions are welcome. ![]() |
