Fast Facts:
- Enzymes are proteins produced by all living organisms, and, like all proteins, they consist of amino acids.1
- Each type of enzyme has a special function and works in a particular way.1
- Sometimes particular enzymes need certain vitamins and minerals in order to function.1
- Digestive enzymes breakdown the food we eat so it can be used as a source of nutrients and a source of energy.1
