FUNGAL DIASTASE+PAPAIN+ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

About

FUNGAL DIASTASE+PAPAIN+ACTIVATED CHARCOAL is a digestive aid. It is indicated as symptomatic relief of functional dyspepsia and other gastrointestinal disorders, which usually manifest with bloating, belching, flatulence, abdominal discomfort or feeling of abdominal fullness.

FUNGAL DIASTASE+PAPAIN+ACTIVATED CHARCOAL combines Fungal Diastase, Papain, and Activated charcoal. Papain is an enzyme that digests protein and catalyses the breakdown of proteins by hydrolysis. It is sparingly soluble in water. Fungal Diastase is a starch-degrading enzyme. It helps digest starch and carbohydrates from the diet into simple polysaccharides and sugar. On the other hand, activated charcoal is a gas adsorbent of high capacity, and it reduces the volume of intestinal gas, providing relief of symptoms and reducing or eliminating flatulence.
