What does it do?

Diastase and protease are digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates and proteins, respectively. These ingredients are used in medications to help digest food when digestive function is weakened. They are primarily effective for indigestion or decreased gastric function.

Diastase breaks down complex carbohydrates such as starch into simple sugars, making digestion easier. Protease breaks down proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids, aiding absorption. As a result, food is better digested and the burden on the stomach is reduced.

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

Good to know

Diastase and protease are digestive enzymes derived from nature that directly break down the main components of food, unlike artificial digestive aids. This combination provides a broader digestive action than a single enzyme, helping to digest a variety of foods.
