Is human saliva made up of cells?

No, it is not. While it may contain some epithelial cells from the inside of your mouth, it is made up of primarily of water. Mixed in with the water are several other substances. These include mucins, which lubricate your food, salivary amylase, which breaks starches down into simpler sugars, and lysozyme, which acts as an antibacterial agent.
