Systemic Enzymes used Against Uterine Fibroids

Many women suffer from the growth of uterine fibroids, benign tumors that develop in the womb. This common problem is one of the most common causes of their having hysterectomies. But surgery can be avoided if the fibroids are reduced or dissolved. Removing these growths, which consist of a protein called fibrin, is one of the applications of enzymes.

Enzymes, of which the body makes a wide variety, are catalysts, causing actions of many kinds. Many are active in the digestive tract. Others reduce scar tissue and remove deposits in the blood vessels. Systemic enzymes can be taken by mouth as they are carried throughout the body and become active where they are needed.
Fibrinolytic (fibrin eating) enzymes and cofactors are selected to attack excess fibrin build-up, the main components of fibroids, non-cancerous growths in the uterus. Correcting hormonal levels until they are in balance can significantly reduce the speed and intensity at which fibroids can grow. This allows the enzymes to soften, break-up and eventually dissolve abnormal tissue.
The female hormone estrogen stimulates tissue growth especially in the estrogen-sensitive reproductive organs. The other female hormone, progesterone, makes tissue more fertile and helps to control the effect of estrogen. When a woman’s estrogen and progesterone production are in balance, normal menstrual cycles continue until menopause. Imbalance in natural hormone levels, as well as exposure to hormone-like substances, from pharmaceuticals and the environment, can cause disturbance, which may trigger abnormal tissue growth. This can lead to the development of fibroids. Progesterone naturally diminishes with age and supplementing dietary components will restore hormonal equilibrium.
