LAXAFLOW CARBON COOL

Laxaflow Carbon Cool is a three-in-one digestive tablet. It is designed for the very common problem of a heavy, gassy, bloated stomach after eating. Each ingredient does a different job:

1. Fungal Diastase (100 mg). Fungal diastase is an amylase enzyme, usually obtained from the mould Aspergillus oryzae. It breaks down starch (from rice, roti, potatoes, bread) into simpler sugars. This matters in India, where meals are often carbohydrate-heavy. When starch is not digested well, it ferments in the gut and produces gas.

2. Papain (60 mg). Papain is a protein-digesting enzyme that comes from raw papaya. It helps break down proteins (dal, paneer, eggs, meat) into smaller peptides and amino acids, and it has been used for many years in traditional and modern digestive preparations.

3. Activated Charcoal (75 mg). Activated charcoal is a highly porous material with a very large surface area. Inside the gut, it adsorbs (surface-binds) gas molecules and some irritating substances, which can reduce bloating and the feeling of pressure. It is not absorbed into the body and passes out in the stool.

Why combine them? A heavy meal can leave you with two problems: food that is not fully broken down, and gas that is trapped in the intestines. The enzymes work on the first problem, while the charcoal works on the second. Together, they aim to make meals easier to digest and reduce the "stuffed, gassy" feeling.

Product Information 

Why Is a Fungal Diastase, Papain and Activated Charcoal Combination Important?

Indigestion, gas, and bloating are among the most common complaints heard by Indian doctors and pharmacists. Festive foods, oily and spicy meals, late dinners, eating in a hurry, irregular meal timing, stress, and long hours of sitting all add to the problem. For many people, it is not a disease, but it does affect comfort, appetite, sleep, and work.

This combination is important for five reasons:

1. It supports digestion of a carbohydrate-heavy diet. Fungal diastase directly helps with the starch that dominates most Indian meals.
2. It supports protein digestion. Papain helps with dal, paneer, egg, and meat-based dishes.
3. It targets gas as well as digestion. Activated charcoal addresses the trapped gas that makes people uncomfortable.
4. It works quickly for occasional symptoms. A tablet after a heavy meal is a simple, practical step.
5. It fits a wide range of adults. Many people who have an occasional heavy meal can benefit, provided they have no contraindications.

Steris Healthcare manufactures Laxaflow Carbon Cool under WHO-GMP and ISO-certified quality systems, so doctors, pharmacists, and distributors get consistent quality.

Precautions Before Taking 

Tell your doctor or pharmacist your full medical history before starting this medicine.

Do not use if:

• You are allergic to papain, papaya, fungal enzymes, Aspergillus moulds, charcoal, or any ingredient in the tablet
• You have a known or suspected intestinal obstruction, paralytic ileus, or severe slowing of gut movement. Charcoal can worsen these.
• You have gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, or an acute abdomen (sudden severe belly pain)
• You have active severe ulcers or severe gut inflammation unless your doctor specifically approves

Use with caution and talk to your doctor if:

• You are allergic to latex. Papain and latex allergies can cross-react in some people.
• You have asthma or a known allergy to inhaled enzymes. Enzyme dust can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people.
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding. Papain is generally avoided in large amounts during pregnancy, so use only on a doctor's advice.
• You have constipation, slow bowel movements, or a history of bowel surgery
• You take blood thinners (such as warfarin) or have a bleeding disorder. Papain may have a mild effect on clotting in some people.

• You are due for surgery. Tell your surgeon about all enzyme and supplement use.
