What does it do?

Hamdang Pepsin is a component that combines sugar with the digestive enzyme pepsin to stabilize it, assisting in the breakdown of proteins in the gastrointestinal tract. It is primarily used in medications to promote digestion in cases of indigestion or reduced stomach function.

Hamdang Pepsin supports the activity of the pepsin enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach, facilitating the digestion of food. As a result, the digestive process in the stomach is enhanced, and symptoms of indigestion are alleviated.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike simple pepsin, Hamdang Pepsin combines with sugar, increasing its stability and making it less susceptible to breakdown by stomach acid. This is characteristic of its sustained digestive-promoting effects.
