Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Enzymes are basically protein molecules. The body produces several thousand of these enzymes each day as well as getting them from the plants and animals that we eat. These molecules function basically as a catalyst; this means that they help the chemical reactions in our bodies to proceed faster. These enzymes fuel many different reactions in our bodies. They are responsible for digestion; they aid in cell growth and help us move substances around the body. Enzymes that assist in the digestive process are produced in the salivary glands of the mouth and in the stomach, pancreas and small intestine and are responsible for the digestion of nutrients as well as their absorption, transportation, metabolism and elimination.http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Taking-a-Digestive-Supplement-Can-Lead-to-Better-Overall-Health & id=4273255 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
