Transformation of nutrients into forms useable by the metabolism is the job of our digestive system. Improper or incomplete digestion may mean that our digestive system is not extracting the optimum amount of useable nutrients from the food we eat. Moreover, incomplete digestion may cause partially decomposed food to remain in the digestive tract longer than is healthy. There are many factors which could lead to improper digestion including aging, illness, medication, stress, change in habit patterns, or poor diet.

One of the main tools the digestive system uses to break down food is enzymes. Enzymes are active, catalytic proteins that either initiate, or speed up the process of breaking down food into useable components. There are many different kinds of enzymes in the human body, and each one specializes in a certain function. For example, the enzyme pepsin is primarily responsible for the break down of proteins into amino acids in the human body. As digestion is regulated by enzymes, the intake of natural enzymes may help support healthy and more efficient digestion.

Enzymes can be found in the plant world. For example, the tropical fruit papaya is rich in an enzyme called papain, which is very similar to the protein digesting enzyme pepsin.
