What Are Enzymes?

Enzymes are biological catalysts that are essential for the breakdown of proteins, fats,
and carbohydrates into smaller pieces in order to facilitate absorption by the body.

How Do Enzymes Work?

Enzymes are essential for healthy digestion.

    1
  • Physical (chewing) and chemical (enzymes) breakdown begins in the mouth
    2
  • Hydrochloric acid and enzymes such as pepsin and gastric lipase break down proteins and fats to aid the digestive process
    3
  • Pancreatic enzymes released into the small intestine aid in the digestion of carbohydrates in addition to the breakdown of protein and fats
    4
  • Digestion culminates with the absorption of important nutritional building blocks in the small intestine

Choosing the Right Enzyme

We offer a wide range of enzymes.
