Dr. Mathew Cooper can’t promise you the perfect protein shake, but he can make your protein shake better. Proper nutrition is crucial for the maintenance of a healthy body. Through the use of digestive enzymes, Dr. Cooper improves absorption of nutrients into an individual’s diet. We use supplements to achieve desired fitness results. However, supplements like protein powder and pre-workout are only effective when our bodies are able to absorb the nutrients and properties they offer.Enzymes are catalysis, meaning they speed up processes in our body. Digestive enzymes help speed up the digestive process and absorption of nutrients. Digestive enzymes are not the only enzymes athletes can take to improve health and performance. Dr. Cooper has over 100 different enzyme formulas that he tailors to individuals based on their nutrient deficiencies and health goals. He believes that an enzyme program is for everybody, but should be individualized to each individual person. Enzymes can be used to increase protein absorption or for endurance by improving iron absorption with different types of proteases and plants.Athletes who take supplements to improve athletic performance often experience problems with gut health. Dr. Cooper explained that this is often because individuals have trouble digesting and absorbing the supplements. Digestive enzymes can help with this and ensure individuals are getting the full and desired effect of the supplement. Additionally, Dr. Cooper uses enzymes for other purposes such as treating patients for inflammation, arthritis, and acute aches and pains.For those interested in adding enzymes to their current diet, Dr. Cooper recommends starting with a digestive enzyme. While you can buy enzymes at health food stores, Dr. Cooper recommends a specialized program to ensure the enzymes you are taking fit your biological profile, diet, and fitness goals. Dr. Cooper uses plant-based enzymes therefore his program can accommodate individuals who are vegan or vegetarian. However, taking enzymes does not replace the importance of a well balanced diet.
