Enzymes play an important role in our lives. The three major nutrients – carbohydrates, proteins and fats, can be absorbed only after being broken down into simpler ingredients by digestive enzymes which are secreted in the gastrointestinal tract through the wall of the gastrointestinal tract and digestive organs such as the salivary glands, the stomach, the liver and the pancreas. The main digestive enzymes are amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, and lactase. They break down starch, protein, fat, fiber and milk sugar (lactose) respectively. Without digestive enzymes, the body would be poorly nourished because it would not be able to absorb many nutrients. For example, cellulase helps to release the nutrients in dietary fibers of fruits and vegetables.

Enzymes are produced by our body and can be obtained from raw food. The more processed substances in the diet, the less enzymes it contains.

The demand for digestive enzymes increases in the following situations:

- Stress resulting from sudden changes in the way we consume food

- Exposure to environmental pollutants

- Changes in the weather

- Frequent travelling.
