Description

Vitazyme is an oral multienzyme preparation to help digest carbohydrate and protein with powerful and effective diastatic and peptic activity. 

Composition Each 10 ml contains :      Fungal Diastase IP (1:2000)  (Derived from Aspergillus oryzae ) 40 mg Cinnamon Oil  B P 250 µg  Caraway Oil . B P  500 µg  Cardamom Oil  B P   500 µg  in a flavoured glycerol sorbitol base Extra enzymes added to compensate probable loss on storage

Actions

The diastase in Vitazyme is a potent, dependable, powerful enzyme complex, obtained from Aspergillus oryzae, comprising important amylases and proteases as its principal components.

This diastase strain provides :

(a)   alpha-amylaseÑthat accelerates starch digestion.

(b)   gluco-amylaseÑfor complete carbohydrate breakdown into glucose molecules resulting in its proper absorption and assimilation.

       It is also an established fact that combined action of both alpha and gluco amylases causes the extent of hydrolysis of carbohydrate greater than that produced by alpha-amylase alone. It is also known that gluco-amylase helps to produce more amount of glucose than pancreatic amylase in the same amount of time.

(c)   Other essential disaccharidases, eg. maltase, invertase, cellulase for rapid and complete digestion of carbohydrate.

Vitazyme  also supplies potent proteases which are superior to pepsin, trypsin and papain in digesting casein, fish, meat, egg albumin and particularly lentil proteins.

Patients with digestive disorders develop symptoms of distension and flatulence with bacterial fermentation of indigested nutrients. Carminative oils, added to the formulation, help achieving instant relief of such symptoms as these carminatives help to generate a belch or passage of the flatus, possibly due to their irritant action on the gastrointestinal tract through which they stimulate movements and relax sphincters.
Vitazyme has a powerful digestive index-each 5 ml digesting 40 g of cooked starch. In a state of digestive disordersVitazyme offers improved digestion, better absorption and increased assimilation.

Indications

Impaired digestion, fermentative dyspepsia, heartburn, sense of fullness after food intake, loss of appetite, as nutritional aid during convalescence and in chronic illness; as supportive therapy in cardiac ailments, digestive problems in old age and childhood; also useful during pregnancy and in smokers.

Dose

10-15 ml (2-3 teaspoonfuls approx.) twice daily during or immediately after meals, or as directed by the physician.
