Neopeptine Digestive Enzyme Blend is a palatable preparation of digestive enzymes which is mainly used in reducing gas, colic pain, stomach distension, indigestion, heartburn, and anorexia in adults and children above 1 year. Neopeptine contains digestive enzyme such as Alpha-amylase and a plant protease called Papain. Alpha-amylase is an enzyme that works by breaking down or digesting proteins and carbohydrates. Alpha-amylase in Neopeptine is derived from bacterial source (Bacterial 1:800) which is considered as the best source because of better thermostability, stability in acidic condition (pH tolerance) and is devoid of unpleasant taste and smell. Neopeptine Liquid provides 100% digestion as it contains papain which digests food in stomach 20% & intestine 80% (better than pepsin which acts only in acidic pH: Digests food only in stomach 20%). Papain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes derived from the latex of unripe fruits of Carica papaya. Papain is active over a wide range of pH i.e. 3 to 12 and digests the large protein complexes as well as the smaller peptides. Studies have shown that taking a papaya-based formula may help ease digestive symptoms of IBS, such as constipation and bloating. Hence, this natural combination of Alpha-amylase and Papain provides better relief from digestive problems.
