Types of Enzymes

In this post we will learn about the types of enzymes and their functions.

We have three main categories of enzymes:

1)      Metabolic Enzymes

2)      Digestive Enzymes

3)      Food Enzymes

Metabolic Enzymes: These metabolic enzymes are responsible for the smooth running of the body, tissues and organs. They help us in the overall growth of cells , repair and maintenance of the body’s organs and tissues.

Digestive Enzymes: Digestive enzymes are responsible in the digestion of food and the absorption and delivery of nutrients throughout the body.. Each enzyme is specific to a particular compound which it breaks or synthesizes

Food Enzymes: Food enzymes are derived solely from raw fruits, vegetables, and supplemental sources. Like digestive enzymes, they enable the body to digest the food by breaking down the various nutrients -- proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and vitamins and minerals - into smallest compounds that the body can absorb. They are absolutely essential in maintaining optimal health.
