Protease

Protease is an enzyme that helps break down proteins into smaller parts called amino acids. These enzymes are essential for digestion, allowing your body to absorb nutrients from the food you eat. Proteases are found throughout your body, including your stomach and pancreas, and they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as immune function and cell regulation. By breaking down proteins, proteases help keep your body's systems running smoothly and ensure that nutrients are available for repair and growth.
