Enzymes

Enzymes are biologically active substances created by glands of a digestive system. They are important in chemical process of nutrition digestion.

They work as accelerators resolving big food molecules (proteins, fats, sugars) to small units (amino acids, fatty acids, glucose), which organism can absorb. According to that resolving of molecules we part them to proteolytic, lipolytic and sacharolytic. Proteolytic enzymes resolve food proteins to peptides and individual amino acids and insure their digestion and use in organism.

An absent of any enzymes unresolved proteins goes to the colon, where a rot and present digestive problems (flatulency, diarrhea). Lipolytic enzymes resolve fat molecules (lipids), saccharolytic enzymes resolve sugar molecules (sugar).
