digestive fluid
Gut breakdown liquid
Digestive fluid is any liquid the body produces to break down food.
Saliva, gastric acid, bile, and pancreatic juice are all digestive fluids.
Each contains enzymes or chemicals that dissolve specific nutrients—proteins, fats, or carbohydrates—so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
