Enzymes are divided into two groups:


    • endogenous (those produced within our bodies),

    • exogenous (those provided from outside the body)



    Endogenous:


    Most people think of enzymes as relating only to digestion.
    However, they are actually involved in every metabolic process.
    The enzymes involved in these processes are known as metabolic
    enzymes, and are produced within the body.



    Although the body does produce digestive enzymes as well,
    the majority of endogenous enzymes are metabolic,
    and most are produced in the pancreas.



    They are then transported all around the body to perform
    their specific tasks - from allowing neurotransmitters in the
    brain to produce thoughts and emotions, to facilitating every
    beat of our heart and every breath of air we depend on.
