But enzymes generally do not get absorbed into your bloodstream, even if they survive the digestion process. The enzymes in your own cells are produced from scratch from building blocks like amino acids and essential minerals. Ensuring sufficient intake of these nutrients is obviously important, but they probably do not have to be consumed as whole enzymes.
pg14.
Previously it was thought that enzymes (whether in foods or supplement form) could not be absorbed intact and instead were completely broken down into their smaller parts (such as amino acids) before being absorbed from the small intestine into the circulatory system. Today, we know this is untrue. Growing amounts of research by a number of highly respected scientists has shown that a significant amount of enzymes are, in fact, absorbed intact. The primary method of absorption is pinocytosis, a method in which whole molecules are engulfed by cells and absorbed.

A second method of absorption is transportation to the blood stream by way of the lymphatic system.

A third method is transcellular absorption (persorption)

Your comment seems to represent generally accepted conventional dogma, and may be true in general, as perhaps only small amounts are absorbed, but remember one of the primary functions of "enzymes" in the body is to aid digestion. Another point is that while enzymes are proteins, they generally not altered by the reactions they facilitate. Enzyme therapy has been documented to dissolve blood clots, fight back pain, decrease swelling, speed up healing, fight wrinkles, ease hindered breathing, stimulate the immune system and help fight cancer (THE COMPLETE BOOK OF ENZYME THERAPY, Anthony J Cichoke, 1999)pg14.

I would recommend both of Dr. Nicholas J. Gonzalez's new books, TROPHOBLAST and ONE MAN ALONE as excellent proof that enzymes are not only absorbed, but can have a strong anti-cancer effect. One of the points that Gonzalez makes, using plenty of citations, is that the pancreas does not produce all the enzymes we require all the time. Instead, the pancreatic enzymes are recycled, reabsorbed and reused by the body.
