Role of active ingredients:
Fungal diastase or Fungal Alpha Amylase is a potent, powerful enzyme complex, obtained from controlled fermentation of Fungi (Aspergillus oryzae).Fungal diastase is used as effective digestive aid, and digests (or breakdown) carbohydrates.
Pepsin is an enzyme whose precursor form is released by the chief cells in the stomach and that degrades food proteins into peptides.
It helps in digestive disturbance and as a result impaired production of gastric juice, used as digestive enzyme in heart burn, acid indigestion and sour stomach, and used for increasing appetite.
Digipen Syrup is used as appetite stimulants and helps in digestive disturbance & impaired production of gastric juice.
It is used for gastrointestinal purposes as digestive aid, for the treatment of indigestion, flatulence, hyperacidity, bloating, stomach cramps and various other types of digestion related problems.
