Amylase; Cellulase; Lipase; Protease
Indications: Dyspepsia
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY:
Diminution of secretions from exocrine glands is often a result of the normal aging process. Amylase; cellulase; lipase; protease provides a balanced combination of natural proteolytic, amylolytic, cellulolytic and lipolytic enzymes to enhance digestion of proteins, starch and fat in the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes do not exert any systemic pharmacologic effects. Amylase; cellulase; lipase; protease should be considered an enzyme supplement and not an enzyme replacement therapy. Enzymes in amylase; cellulase; lipase; protease are basically derived from fungal and plant sources and possess a broad spectrum of pH activity. Enzymes are promptly released from the capsules and are bioavailable for digestion of food in the stomach and intestines.
