Aristozyme Syrup: Digestive Enzyme Supplement for Indigestion and Malabsorption

Aristozyme syrup contains fungal diastase (amylase), pepsin, and sometimes lipase/cellulase to aid digestion.

Indications

• Functional dyspepsia (bloating, early satiety, discomfort).
• Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) – adjunct to prescription PERT.
• Post-gastrectomy, elderly with reduced digestive capacity.
• Anorexia, convalescence.

Mechanism

• Amylase → starches to maltose/glucose.
• Pepsin (acid-activated) → proteins to peptides.
• Lipase → fats to fatty acids/monoglycerides.

Dosage & Administration

• Adults: 10–15 mL (2–3 tsp) after meals, 3×/day.
• Children: 5 mL (1 tsp) after meals, 3×/day.
• Shake well. Do not heat (denatures enzymes).

Precautions

• Not a substitute for prescription pancreatic enzymes (Creon, Zenpep) in confirmed EPI.
• Pepsin requires gastric acid; PPIs may reduce efficacy.
• Diabetics: monitor sugar (maltose from starch hydrolysis).
• Pregnancy/lactation: consult doctor.
