Enzymes :
Lipase is the enzyme to digest fats. Lipase works throughout the digestive process to break down the fats and lipids (fatty acids) in our diet to make them easier to absorb. Fats are the most difficult component of the diet to digest. Fats are also a major source of fuel for the heart muscle. In addition, our body relies on certain essential fatty acids that can only be derived from food.
Amylase is an enzyme found in our saliva and functions primarily as a starch-dissolving enzyme. Amylase is the first enzyme to take starch in our food and break it down into simple sugars which can be more easily absorbed. Starch refers to carbohydrates found in plants (grains). Amylase is the digestive enzyme needed to digest carbohydrates. Carbohydrates in food are an important and immediate source of energy for the body.
Protease is the general term for an enzyme that breaks down proteins. Proteins are molecules that make up much of our living tissue, including our muscles and our internal systemic enzymes. Certain proteins can only be provided through our food. If we have an inadequate means of breaking these down with proteases, we would suffer from what is known as protein malnutrition. Much of our body wouldn't be able to function properly without essential amino acids from absorbable protein.
Cellulase is an enzyme, which breaks down non-digestible fiber found in fruits & vegetables. Many minerals found in the fiber of fruits, vegetables and grains can be absorbed better with the addition of cellulose.
