Digizyme

Digizyme is a digestive enzyme combination therapy primarily used to manage functional dyspepsia and other digestive insufficiencies. It typically contains fungal diastase, an amylolytic enzyme derived from *Aspergillus oryzae*, and pepsin, a proteolytic enzyme. Fungal diastase facilitates the breakdown of complex carbohydrates and starch into maltose, while pepsin aids in the digestion of proteins by cleaving them into smaller peptides. This dual action helps alleviate symptoms of indigestion, such as bloating, flatulence, and abdominal discomfort, by supplementing the body's endogenous digestive capacity. It is widely available in syrup and tablet formulations for oral administration and is frequently utilized in cases of pancreatic insufficiency or general digestive distress following heavy meals.
