Intestinal juice (also intestinal secretion or succus entericus) is an enzyme-rich secretion produced in the intestine by the intestinal glands . The intestinal juice is used for digestion by digesting the food . The most important components of the intestinal juice are amylase , erepsin , lipase and maltase .
