Lipases

Lipases are enzymes, which are natural proteins that help facilitate biochemical reactions. Specifically, lipases break down lipids (fats) in your body into smaller molecules like fatty acids and glycerol. This process is essential for digesting dietary fats so your body can absorb and use them for energy, cell growth, and other functions. Lipases are produced mainly by the pancreas and work in the digestive system, especially in the small intestine. They play a crucial role in maintaining healthy fat metabolism and ensuring that fats are properly processed and utilized by the body.
