Pharmacology
Suzyme 325 is made from an extract of the pancreas and contains three main enzymes: Amylase, Protease, and Lipase. These enzymes work in the small intestine to break down food. Amylase breaks down starch into sugars, Protease helps break down proteins into amino acids, and Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and monoglycerides. Suzyme 325 is very effective in breaking down starch and proteins quickly.
