Enzymes (Function (Enzymes function as a biological catalyst for the body,…

- - - - lactase – breaks down lactose (milk sugars)
      - • diastase – digests vegetable starch
      - • sucrase – digests complex sugars and starches
      - • maltase – digests disaccharides to monosaccharides (malt sugars)
      - • invertase – breaks down sucrose (table sugar)
      - • glucoamylase – breaks down starch to glucose
      - • alpha-glactosidase – facilitates digestion of beans, legumes, seeds,
      - roots, soy products, and underground stems
    - - • pepsin – breaks down proteins into peptides
        
        • peptidase – breaks down small peptide proteins to amino acids
        
        • trypsin – derived from animal pancreas, breaks down proteins
        
        • alpha – chymotrypsin, an animal-derived enzyme, breaks down proteins
        
        • bromelain – derived from pineapple, breaks down a broad spectrum of proteins, has anti-inflammatory properties, effective over very wide pH range
        
        • papain – derived from raw papaya, broad range of substrates and pH, works well breaking down small and large proteins
