Pepsin 7.5mg and Fungal Diastase Enzyme 12.5mg Syrup per 5ml (Mix Fruit Flavour) Uses
This syrup is an enzyme preparation used to aid digestion. It is commonly recommended for individuals who experience indigestion, bloating, or a feeling of fullness after meals. The combination of pepsin and fungal diastase helps break down proteins and carbohydrates, making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients. It is often used in conditions like dyspepsia, flatulence, and loss of appetite.
How Pepsin and Fungal Diastase Syrup Works
Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides, while fungal diastase (a type of amylase) breaks down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars. Together, they mimic the natural digestive enzymes produced by the stomach and pancreas, supporting the digestive process. This helps reduce symptoms like heaviness, gas, and discomfort after eating.
