LUPIZYME PLUS DIGESTIVE ENZYMES

🧪 Alpha Amylase + Pepsin Syrup – Digestive Enzyme Support

What is Alpha Amylase + Pepsin Syrup?

Alpha Amylase + Pepsin Syrup is a digestive enzyme supplement used to help improve digestion in individuals with indigestion, bloating, flatulence, or digestive enzyme deficiency. It combines Alpha Amylase, an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates, and Pepsin, an enzyme that digests proteins in the stomach.

This syrup is especially helpful for people with dyspepsia, post-meal heaviness, or slow digestion due to gastrointestinal disorders or poor dietary habits.

Composition / Ingredients

Each 5ml of syrup typically contains:

• Alpha Amylase (from fungal or bacterial source): Helps digest starch into simpler sugars

• Pepsin (from porcine or fungal source): Assists in breaking down dietary proteins into peptides

Other common ingredients include:

• Sorbitol solution

• Methylparaben

• Propylparaben

• Flavoring agents

• Purified water

Note: Formulations may vary slightly by brand.

How to Use
