What does it do?

Protease is an enzyme that breaks down proteins and is used to facilitate protein digestion in the digestive system. It is an auxiliary enzyme used in cases of indigestion or protein digestion disorders.

Protease helps digest food proteins by breaking them down into smaller peptides or amino acids. The broken-down proteins are then easily absorbed in the intestines and utilized as necessary nutrients by the body.
