In order to have the amino acids available to the body, these enzymes have to break down the proteins to free them, and this important compound is also being used in therapies such as oncology, inflammation conditions and immune control.

It is also valuable in assisting the body to fight infections and onslaughts from viruses, fungi, parasite and bacteria. Protease from aspergillis (Aspergillus Niger / Aspergillus oryzae) may also be able to assist in breaking down dietary proteins and polypeptides which have leaked into the bloodstream as food antigens.
Deficiency indications

A deficiency of this compound can cause anxiety and insomnia, since it will affect the blood alkaline level, and since it is involved in carrying protein-bound calcium in the bloodstream a deficiency may also influence the susceptibility for arthritis, osteoporosis and calcium related diseases.

Since protein conversion is necessary for glucose in the body, a problem with protein digestion can lead to hypoglycemia, irritability as well as mood swings.

It is used in clearing debris from the blood as well as certain viruses and bacteria, and a shortage of it may result in compromising your immune system or at best decrease your immunity. Symptoms of a shortage can include a variety of symptoms such as constipation, parasites, gingivitis, hearing problems, problems with your back, high blood pressure, gum disorders, insomnia etc.
