GOZYME‑PLUS Digestive Enzymes, Simethicone & Charcoal is a combination product designed to support healthy digestion and relieve symptoms related to indigestion, gas, and bloating. Here is a detailed product description based on the available information for similar formulations:
Composition:
Digestive Enzymes (Pancreatin): These are natural enzymes that help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in food, supporting the digestive process and enhancing nutrient absorption.
Simethicone: An antiflatulent agent that works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, allowing gas to be expelled more easily and reducing discomfort from bloating and pressure.
Activated Charcoal: Helps to trap and remove excess gas from the digestive tract, further relieving bloating and flatulence. It can also assist in absorbing toxins and other substances in the gut.
