Answer:
Digestive enzymes play a key role in breaking down the food you eat. These proteins speed up chemical reactions that turn nutrients into substances that your digestive tract can absorb.
Your saliva has digestive enzymes in it. Some of your organs, including your pancreas, gallbladder, and liver, also release them. Cells on the surface of your intestines store them, too.
Different types of enzymes target different nutrients:
Amylase breaks down carbs and starches
Protease works on proteins
Lipase handles fats
