PYLODIGEST

PYLODIGEST is a capsule containing a blend of alpha galactosidase, lipase, alpha amylase, protease and lactase, marketed in India by Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.

Each enzyme has a specific job, and together they cover the main components of a typical meal:

1. Alpha amylase breaks down starches (rice, roti, potatoes, bread) into simpler sugars.
2. Protease breaks down proteins (dal, paneer, eggs, meat, fish) into amino acids and smaller peptides.
3. Lipase breaks down fats (ghee, oil, butter, fried foods) into fatty acids and glycerol.
4. Lactase breaks down lactose, the natural sugar in milk and milk products.
5. Alpha galactosidase breaks down complex sugars (galacto-oligosaccharides) found in beans, lentils, cabbage, cauliflower and other gas-producing vegetables, which human enzymes cannot digest well on their own.

By supporting the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, lactose and legume sugars, this combination aims to reduce the undigested food that ferments in the gut and causes gas and bloating.

Product Information

Why Is a Digestive Enzyme Combination Important?

1. It supports digestion of a complete meal: Meals are rarely made of one nutrient. A plate of rice, dal, sabzi, paneer and ghee contains starch, protein, fat, lactose and legume sugars at once. A multi-enzyme formula addresses all of these together instead of just one.

2. It helps reduce gas and bloating: Gas often forms when undigested carbohydrates reach the large intestine and are fermented by gut bacteria. Enzymes such as alpha galactosidase and lactase help break these sugars down earlier, which may reduce that fermentation.

3. It may help people with lactose sensitivity: Many adults in India have some degree of lactose intolerance, with symptoms such as bloating, cramps and loose stools after milk, curd-based sweets or ice cream. Lactase supplementation can help the body handle lactose better.

4. It supports comfort after rich or heavy meals: Festive foods, restaurant meals and fried snacks are high in fat and take longer to digest. Lipase helps the body process fats more smoothly.

5. It can help when natural enzyme production is reduced: Enzyme output can fall with age, in certain digestive or pancreatic conditions, or after some surgeries. In such cases, enzyme support under medical guidance may be useful.

6. It supports nutrient absorption: When food is broken down properly, the body has a better chance of absorbing the nutrients it contains.

Key Benefits 

• Complete enzyme coverage: Targets carbohydrates, proteins, fats, lactose and legume sugars in a single capsule.
• Eases bloating and gas: Helps reduce the fermentation of undigested food in the gut.
• Relief from indigestion and fullness: Helps with that heavy, sluggish feeling after meals.
• Supports lactose tolerance: Lactase assists with milk and dairy digestion.
• Makes beans and lentils more comfortable: Alpha galactosidase is specifically useful for dal, rajma, chana and cruciferous vegetables.
• Convenient capsule form: Easy to swallow, discreet and portable for work, travel and restaurant meals.
• Taken only when needed: Often used around meals rather than as a long-term daily medicine, unless a doctor advises.
• Supports better nutrient absorption: Efficient breakdown of food helps the body make the most of what you eat.

Precautions: What You Should Know Before Using It

Share your medical history with your doctor or pharmacist before using digestive enzymes.

Do not use if

• You are allergic to any of the enzymes or any ingredient in the capsule.
• You have a known allergy to pork or certain animal proteins, if the enzyme source is animal-derived (check the label for the source).
• You have acute pancreatitis or a sudden flare-up of chronic pancreatitis, unless your doctor specifically prescribes enzymes.

Use with caution and medical supervision if

• You have a chronic pancreatic condition, cystic fibrosis or have had pancreatic or stomach surgery.
• You have diabetes. Better digestion of starch may affect how quickly sugars are absorbed, so monitor blood sugar as your doctor advises.
• You have gout or high uric acid levels, as some enzyme products contain purine-related compounds in certain forms. Ask your doctor.
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor first.
• You have a bowel obstruction or severe abdominal pain of unknown cause. Seek medical care instead.
• You are on regular medicines. Enzymes may interact with some drugs, such as certain diabetes or blood-thinning medicines, so ask your pharmacist.
• The patient is a child. Give it only if a paediatrician advises.
