Digestion Support

Product Description:

This syrup combines fungal diastase, an amylase enzyme produced by Aspergillus fungi, with pepsin, a protein-digesting enzyme from the stomach lining of pigs. Diastase breaks starch into simpler sugars, and pepsin begins protein digestion in the acidic stomach. Enzyme syrups of this type are traditional remedies for indigestion, loss of appetite and a feeling of fullness after meals, and remain popular in South Asia.

Healthy people produce these enzymes in far greater quantities than a syrup provides, and there is little controlled evidence that supplementing them relieves dyspepsia. They are not a substitute for pancreatic enzyme replacement in genuine pancreatic insufficiency, which needs prescription pancrelipase at much higher doses. Persistent indigestion, weight loss or difficulty swallowing need medical assessment. The product is generally well tolerated.

Sourcing notes. Pepsin is of porcine origin, which matters for halal and kosher markets and must be declared. Enzyme activity must be expressed in defined units and maintained through shelf life, because enzymes lose activity in liquid formulations, especially with heat. Syrups often contain sugar and sometimes alcohol, both of which regulators and buyers increasingly scrutinise. Buyers should specify the composition and enzyme activity required when enquiring.
