RAW ENZYMES: tech grade

RAW Enzymes are Uncut, Tech Grade Enzymes. Active ingredients are Cellulase, Xylanase, and Beta-Glucanase. No Fillers, No Dyes. RAW Enzymes are soluble and compatible with all nutrient programs, from hobby to professional, soil to hydroponics.

Enzymes are specialized proteins that soil microbes use to make nutrients available for microbial and plant uptake, by breaking down organic material into small enough molecules for plants to absorb through their cell wall.

Soil contains enzymes that interact with the surrounding soil constituents. These include minerals, nutrients and rhizosphere among numerous others. Enzymes are biocatalysts that speed up essential biochemical reactions for plants and rhizobacteria while stabilizing the soil by degrading wastes and contributing to nutrient recycling.

Introducing enzymes to the soil promotes rhizobacteria that promote plant growth while reducing dependence on harmful chemical fertilizers and improving crop yield at the same time.

Internally, enzymes in plants are used for processes such at photosynthesis. Externally, plant roots naturally express enzymes to assist with nutrient uptake. There are other garden uses for enzymes as well.

For example, some enzymes will act as insecticides, dissolving the insect’s waxy protective coating known as its cuticle and exposing its exoskeleton. Others can help protect plants from molds and bacteria.

While most enzymes will only accept a particular set of molecules to act on, they can occasionally be fooled by similarly shaped molecules. For example, glyphosate is an herbicide that kills by binding to needed enzymes, interfering with their function. Since the glyphosate is bound to the enzyme molecules, they cannot bind normally to other molecules, inhibiting chemical reaction.

Other factors that can be used to inhibit enzyme function are temperature (enzymes cannot tolerate the high temperatures used in cooking, which begins to explain the raw food diet movement in humans) and pH. Fortunately, enzymes can tolerate a broad pH range of 3.0 to 9.0).

Soil enzymes also play a crucial role in the remediation of soil. Soil gets polluted in many ways and through impurities like heavy metals, polyphosphate rocks, urea, starch and cellulose residues. Contrary to popular belief the animal and plant fats are also not easily absorbed by plants either. Enzymes and selected microbes synergistically break down these residuals into compost, quickly making the soil fertile. These nutrients are now readily available for the plants as nutrition.
