How it works
Amylase enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into simpler sugars like maltose within the digestive tract. This action facilitates nutrient absorption and reduces the digestive load on the stomach and intestines.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address bloating, indigestion, irregular bowel movements. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
Avoid / careful
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.

FAQs
Frequently asked
Can Diastase (Amylase) help with gas?
Yes, by improving the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, it can reduce the substrate available for gas-producing bacteria in the gut, potentially alleviating gas and bloating.
How long does it take to see results?
Digestive comfort improvements are typically noticeable within 1 to 4 weeks of consistent use, depending on individual digestive function and dietary habits.
Is this a probiotic?
No, Diastase (Amylase) is an enzyme, not a live microorganism. It works by chemically breaking down food components rather than by colonizing the gut.
