      The article presents information about digestive enzymes that break down proteins, carbohydrates, fats and help the body in extracting nutrients from foods. Some of the common protein-digesting enzymes are bromelain, papain, pepsin, peptidase, and protease. Carbohydrate-digesting enzymes include alpha-galactosidase, invertase and lactase.
