Types of Degestive Enzymes
- A variety of proteases, including Papain (to aid in the digestion of protein). Papain, which comes from papaya, is so effective in digesting proteins that it is often used as a meat tenderizer.
- Amylase (for the digestion of starches and carbohydrates).
- Lipase (to digest fats).
- Cellulase (invaluable in breaking down fiber cellulose into smaller units).
- Lactase (which works in the digestion of dairy products).
- Bromelain, which comes from pineapple, is a miracle enzyme. It digests protein. It burns 900 times its weight in fat. And it's amazingly beneficial for the body as a whole once it gets into the bloodstream -- particularly in terms of reducing inflammation and swelling in joints.
- Pancreatin
- Pepsin
