According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), “Enzymes are protein molecules that are present in all living things. They speed up and target chemical reactions, in many cases increasing the rate of reaction millions of times. For example, they aid digestion, metabolize and eliminate waste in humans and animals, and play a crucial role in muscle contraction.”
