Protease
Protease is a digestive enzyme that aids in the digestion of proteins.
From anti aging viewpoint, it has been suggested that the compound has interesting immune system defence enhancing behavior.
This is because invading organisms may wrap themselves in a large protein shells that the body would view as being "normal".
Now, protease may help to remove this protein shell, and allow the body's defense mechanisms can go into action.
In same regard, some suggest that protease helps in the healing and recovery from cancer by dissolving the fibrin coating on cancer cells, and thereby allowing immune system to act on the cells.
