There are three major classes of enzymes:

(1) metabolic enzymes (enzymes which work in blood, tissues, and organs),
(2) food enzymes from raw food, and
(3) digestive enzymes.

Nature has placed enzymes in food to digest everything you eat: starches, fats, protein, fiber, sugars, and dairy foods - instead of forcing the enzymes secreted in our bodies to do all of the work.

There are seven categories of food enzymes:

(1) Lipase, which serves to break down fat;
(2) Protease, which works to break down protein;
(3) Cellulase, which assists to break down fibers;
(4) Amylase to break down starch;
(5) Lactase to break down dairy foods;
(6) Sucrase to break down sugars; and
(7) Maltase to break down grains.

There are two ways to preserve and replenish our enzyme level: by eating raw food and by taking enzyme supplements.
