About Sanizym Syrup

Sanizym Syrup is a digestive aid primarily used to treat the digestive disorder and proper digestion of starch or carbohydrate in the die into a simpler form of sugar/carbohydrate. It is also an appetite stimulant (increases hunger) that effectively treats acid indigestion (heartburn), flatulence (gas), epigastric distress (upper abdominal pain), and eructation (burping). Sanizym Syrup can also be used to relieve other digestive disorders like pancreatic insufficiency (inability to produce pancreatic enzymes) and abdominal discomfort. Indigestion is the inability to digest the complex form of food associated with the sour stomach, gas formation with mild pain/discomfort in the stomach.

Sanizym Syrup contains two digestive enzymes, namely: Diastase and Pepsin. Diastase is a starch hydrolysing enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrate (polysaccharides, i.e. starch) into simple carbohydrates (monosaccharides, i.e. simple sugar). It promotes digestion in cases of chronic illness, stomach fullness, flatulence, and indigestion. On the other hand, Pepsin is a protein-digesting enzyme that helps break down larger protein molecules into smaller units of protein (amino acids). Thus together, Sanizym Syrup aid digestive disorder and gastric problems.

Medicinal Benefits

Sanizym Syrup helps in relieving digestive disorders like indigestion, heartburn, gas, and abdominal discomfort. It contains two digestive enzymes, namely: Diastase and Pepsin. Fungal diastase is a starch hydrolysing or amylolytic enzyme that breaks down the starch into simple sugars (maltose) for easy digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting) that breaks down larger protein molecules into smaller proteins (amino acids). Thus, Sanizym Syrup promotes the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins and helps absorb the intestine's essential nutrients.
