All living things contain enzymes. Our bodies use about 75,000 of them to help perform tasks like breathing and digesting. We have harnessed these enzymes to break down food, grease and almost any other organic material. Enzymes act as a biological catalyst to increase the rate organic material is broken down. the natural bio enzymatic process does most of the work, which is why we say, let the worm do the work. And when the task is completed, no harsh chemical residues are left behind.
