Capsule is a combination product containing fungal digestive enzyme
along with the microorganism ÔlactobacillusÕ, which is normal
inhabitant of the intestine and are nonpathogenic used in
viable and acid & antibiotic resistant forms

Actions
Lactic
acid bacteria are unique microorganisms which have several
important properties for better human health. When ingested
these microorganisms cross the gastric acidity and bile in
duodenum undamaged. Within the intestine lactic acid bacteria
germinate in upper digestive tract, become metabolically very
active, degrades carbohydrate with production of lactic acid,
creates an environment of acid pH which inhibits development
of pathogens and helps to restore normal balance of intestinal
flora after antibiotic treatment with potential for prevention
of antibiotic associated gastrointestinal side effects. Further,
lactic acid bacteria produces natural antibiotics within the
system and are believed to be important in inhibiting potential
pathogens. The ability of lactic acid bacteria to produce
lactase enzyme during the fermentation process has led to
its use in cultured dairy foods and nutritionally lactobacilli
is associated with alteration of lactose intolerance, synthesis
of B-vitamins and elaboration of enzymes resulting in partial
hydrolysis of milk protein, fat and lactose.

Fungal
diastase strain in Vitazyme
Capsule 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, e.g. maltase, invertase,
cellulase for rapid and complete digestion of carbohydrate.
(d)
Also supplies potent proteases for digesting casein,
fish, meat, egg albumin and particularly lentil proteins.
Thus combination of lactic
acid bacteria and digestive enzyme fungal diastase in Vitazyme
Capsule ensures
a comprehensive treatment for digestive disorders, prevents
harmful effects of putrefactive organisms and stimulate host
immune system.
Activated Dimethicone, present
in Vitazyme Capsule, helps
relief from flatulence associated with digestive disorder
and antibiotic associated microfloral upset in the intestine.

Impaired
digestion; lactose intolerance; fermentative dyspepsia; as
adjuvant to antibiotic & chemotherapeutic agents; diarrhoea;
constipation when normal gut flora is altered.
Adverse Reactions
No
known significant reactions.
Contraindications
Nil
Dosage
2-3
capsules twice daily or as directed by the physician.
