• Protein Enzymes(Protease)
    • Pepsin – Breaks proteins into peptides(smaller protein “chains”).
    • Trypsin – Created by the pancreas, it too helps break down proteins into peptides.
    • Peptidase – Breaks peptides into amino acids(building blocks for proteins).
    • Bromelain – Does not occur normally in animals. It comes from pineapple & breaks down proteins. It has anti-flammatory qualities.
    • Papain – Similar to Bromelain except derived from the Papaya fruit.
  • Starch & Sugar Enzymes(Amylase)
    • Lactase – Breaks down milk sugar(i.e lactose).
    • Diastase – Breaks down vegetable starches.
    • Sucrase – Breaks down sugars & starches.
    • Maltase – Breaks down malt sugars.
  • Lipase – Breaks down fats.
  • Cellulase – Breaks down mainly plant fibers
