DIGEPLEX 120ML SYP

Diastase-Pepsin syrup/suspension combines the effects of two enzymes, diastase and pepsin. Diastase, also known as amylase, breaks down complex carbohydrates like starch and glycogen into simpler sugars, primarily maltose. This enzymatic action occurs through the hydrolysis of alpha-1,4-glycosidic bonds in the starch molecules, facilitating digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. Pepsin, on the other hand, is a proteolytic enzyme that plays a crucial role in protein digestion. It cleaves peptide bonds in proteins, breaking them down into smaller peptides and amino acids, which are more easily absorbed by the body. By supplementing with Diastase-Pepsin syrup/suspension, the combined action of these enzymes enhances the digestive process, aiding in the efficient breakdown and absorption of both carbohydrates and proteins.
