Amylase

Amylase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down starch molecules into simple sugars. It

 is secreted by the salivary glandsan d pancreas. Amylase has anti-inflammatory

properties. Salivary amylase initiates digestion of starch and helps break down starch-

containing debris around the teeth and interacts specifically with some oral bacterial

 species and may play a role in modulating the adhesion of those organisms to teeth.

 Amylase (as well as papain, bromelain and protease) supports healthy digestion and

helps prevent indigestion from occurring as it helps to ensure the efficient breakdown of

 food. See Next Body System: Hormones
