Fungal Diastase and Pepsin Drops

Lavi Zyme contains two digestive enzymes, namely fungal diastase and pepsin. Fungal diastase is a starch-hydrolyzing enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides, i.e. starch) into simple carbohydrates (monosaccharides, i.e. simple sugar). Promotes digestion in chronic diseases, abdominal fullness, flatulence and indigestion. On the other hand, pepsin is a protein-digesting enzyme that helps break down larger protein molecules into smaller protein units (amino acids). Fungal Diastase and Pepsin Syrup therefore treat indigestion and stomach problems together.
