Second, in tests that have compared animal-sourced proteases
against plant-based proteases in the same conditions, the plant-
based enzymes broke down anywhere from 10 to 100 times the
amount of protein as the equivalent measure of animal-sourced
enzymes, depending on the protein. While there may be some
proteins that animal-sourced proteases break down faster, so far the
plant-based ones are the clear champions.
Third, since the rise of certain diseases like mad cow and use of
antibiotics, steroids and other questionable practices have become
common, use of animal-sourced enzymes now introduce more
risk than ever before unless the supplement manufacturer can be
trusted to maintain extremely tight quality control throughout the
process.
Finally, for those who are vegan or follow a vegetarian diet,
avoiding animal-sourced enzymes in favor of plant-based enzymes
is a clear and easy choice.
One area where animal-sourced enzymes may be preferable over
plant-based enzymes may be for the treatment of cancers, as
described earlier in this report.
