What does it do?

Malt Extract is an herbal ingredient derived from barley sprouts, used in pharmaceuticals for the purpose of improving digestive function. It primarily promotes gastric motility and aids digestion.

Malt Extract helps in the breakdown of food by promoting the secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach and activating gastric motility, thereby facilitating the digestive process. This alleviates symptoms of indigestion or reduced gastric function.
