How Vitazyme Works
How Vitazyme Works
The Secret is Improved Symbiosis
All plants that grow in soils develop an intimate relationship between the roots and the organisms that populate the root zone. The teeming billions of bacteria, fungi, algae, cyanobacteria, protozoa, and other organisms that grow along the root surfaces–the Rhizosphere–are much more plentiful than in the bulk of the soil. This is because roots feed the organisms with dead root epidermal cells as well as compounds exuded from the roots themselves. The plant may inject up to 25% or more of its energy, fixed in the leaves as carbohydrates, amino acids, and other compounds, into the root zone to feed these organisms…for a very good purpose.
The microorganisms which feed on these exuded carbon compounds along the root surfaces benefit the plant in many ways…a beautiful symbiotic relationship. The plant feeds the bacteria, fungi, algae, and other microbial species in the rhizosphere, which in turn secrete enzymes, organic acids, antibiotics, growth regulators, hormones, and other substances which are absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves. The acids help dissolve essential minerals, and reduced iron releases anionic elements. A few important microbe groups are listed below.
Important Microbe Groups
Mycorrhizae, especially vesicular-arbuscular (VAM) types, form “arbuscules” within root cortical cells and extend thread-like hyphae into the soil, increasing the root feeding surface by ten times or more. They are a major means for uptake of phosphorous, copper, zinc, and other less mobile elements. They also can extract water under much drier conditions than can plant roots.
Cyanobacteria fix carbon (they photosythesize), and also fix nitrogen from the air for plant use.
Phosphate-dissolving bacteria excrete acids that dissolve minerals and release hard-to-get phosphorous.
Azotobacter species live on exudates and other carbon sources while fixing nitrogen.
Actinomycetes generate a variety of pathogen-fighting antibiotics.
The Symbiotic Cycle
Cyanobacteria fix carbon (they photosythesize), and also fix nitrogen from the air for plant use. Vitazyme contains “metabolic triggers” that stimulate the plant to photosynthesize better, fixing more sunlight energy in the form of carbon compounds to increase the transfer of carbohyrdates, proteins, and other growth substances into the root zone. These active agents may enter the plant through either the leaves or the roots. Root growth and exudation are both enhanced. This enhancement activates the metabolism of the teeming population of rhizosphere organisms to a higher level, triggering a greater synthesis of growth-benefiting compounds and a faster release of minerals for plant uptake. The plant microbial symbiosis is stimulated.
The Enzyme Cascade Effect
In short, Vitazyme enables the plant to better express its genetic potential by reducing the stresses that repress that expression.
