# DIASTASE 50 MG + PEPSIN 10 MG ## SHORT DESCRIPTION **Diastase 50 mg + Pepsin 10 mg** is a digestive enzyme combination used to support the digestion of **carbohydrates and proteins**. Diastase (amylase) helps break down starch and carbohydrates, while pepsin helps digest proteins. This combination may be used to provide relief from digestive discomfort such as **indigestion, bloating, fullness, and post-meal digestive discomfort** when these symptoms are associated with inadequate digestive enzyme activity. --- ## KEY BENEFITS * **Supports Digestion:** Helps the digestive system break down carbohydrates and proteins. * **Supports Carbohydrate Digestion:** Diastase helps convert starches into smaller, more easily absorbed sugars. * **Supports Protein Digestion:** Pepsin breaks down dietary proteins into smaller peptides. * **May Reduce Post-Meal Discomfort:** Can help support digestion-related symptoms such as fullness and bloating. * **Supports Nutrient Utilization:** Proper digestion helps make nutrients from food available for absorption. --- ## USES / INDICATIONS Diastase + Pepsin may be used as a digestive enzyme supplement to help with: * Indigestion (dyspepsia) * Bloating after meals * Feeling of fullness * Post-meal digestive discomfort * Difficulty digesting heavy meals * Digestive discomfort associated with reduced digestive enzyme activity The underlying cause of persistent digestive symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. --- ## HOW IT WORKS ### Diastase Diastase is an enzyme with **amylase activity**. It helps break down complex carbohydrates and starches into smaller sugars that can be more readily processed by the digestive system. ### Pepsin Pepsin is a **proteolytic digestive enzyme** that works in the acidic environment of the stomach. It breaks dietary proteins into smaller peptides, helping support normal protein digestion. ### Combined Action Together, diastase and pepsin support the digestion of two major food components: **Carbohydrates → Diastase → Smaller sugars** **Proteins → Pepsin → Smaller peptides** --- ## DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION **Take Diastase 50 mg + Pepsin 10 mg according to the product label or your healthcare professional's instructions.** * Take the recommended dose orally. * It is generally taken **with or shortly after meals**, depending on the specific formulation. * Swallow the tablet/capsule with sufficient water if applicable. * Do not exceed the recommended dose. * Follow the instructions provided with your specific product. ### Missed Dose If you miss a dose, take it when remembered if appropriate.
