What are digestive enzymes?
The human body produces numerous enzymes to support a multitude of metabolic processes. Enzymes are special proteins made up of long chain amino acids held together by peptide bonds and are essential in completing every chemical and biological reaction within our cells. Each type of enzyme helps facilitate a different process within the body. All of our body’s cells, organs, bones, and tissue are dependent on enzymes. Digestive Enzymes act as the catalyst for chemical reactions that break down the foods we eat into their basic components and through the process of digestion convert them into energy.
