Enzymes

 Enzymes turn the food animals and humans eat into energy. Food enzymes are introduced to the body through raw foods and the consumption of supplemental enzyme fortifiers. Raw foods contain beneficial amounts of digestive enzymes when ingested. However, raw food manifests only enough enzymes to digest that particular food, not enough to be stored in the body for later use. The cooking and processing of food destroys all of its enzymes, which is why the addition of enzymes is recommended for supplementation to your pet's commercial or home-cooked meals.
