Protease enzymes can digest proteins, but supplementing digestive enzymes can also shut down your body's own production of digestive enzymes. I prefer using bitters to stimulate the release of enzymes.

Also remember to supplement with some vitamin C and silica sources as these work with the amino acids to form collagen.

You can also use certain herbs to help stimulate collagen formation. Gotu kola is probably the easiest to find.
