Vitazyme Capsule is used to treat the digestive disorder and proper digestion of starch or carbohydrate in the diet 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 burping. It can also relieve other digestive disorders like pancreatic insufficiency (inability to produce pancreatic enzymes) and abdominal discomfort. It breaks down the starch into simple sugars (maltose) for easy digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It also supports the growth of friendly bacteria in the intestine, maintaining a healthy balance of microflora in the gut environment. It may cause side effects such as feeling of sickness, skin rash, painful urination, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Vitazyme Capsule

Vitazyme Capsule is a digestive aid primarily used to treat the digestive disorder and proper digestion of starch or carbohydrate in the diet 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). Vitazyme Capsule can also 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 a sour stomach and gas formation with mild pain/discomfort in the stomach.

Vitazyme Capsule contains two digestive enzymes, namely: Fungal diastase and Lactic acid bacillus. Fungal diastase is a starch hydrolyzing or amylolytic enzyme that breaks down the starch into simple sugars (maltose) for easy digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Lactic acid bacillus is a beneficial lactic acid-producing bacteria (good bacteria) that supports the growth of friendly bacteria in the intestine, maintaining a healthy balance of microflora in the gut environment. Lactic acid bacillus prevents the loss of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. Thus, together Vitazyme Capsule aids digestive disorders and gastric problems. 

Vitazyme Capsule should be taken as recommended it. Vitazyme Capsule is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like a feeling of sickness, skin rash, painful urination, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting. Although not everyone experiences these side effects, please seek medical attention if they occur.

Inform your doctor if you have any allergic reactions to pork protein before starting Vitazyme Capsule . If you have a history of inflammation/swelling of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis), let your doctor know about it. Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended if you suffer from indigestion. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Vitazyme Capsule with proper consultation and caution.
