Benefits
- Supports protein digestion
- Enhances amino acid absorption
- Reduces digestive discomfort from protein
- May support muscle recovery
- Helps break down dietary proteins
- Supports overall digestive health
Specific Properties
- Active in acidic stomach environment (pH 1.5-4.0)
- Begins protein breakdown early in digestion
- Stable in low pH conditions
- Mimics natural pepsin activity
- Usually derived from Aspergillus niger
Safety Notes
Generally safe for most individuals. May cause digestive upset if taken in excessive amounts. Those with peptic ulcers or taking blood-thinning medications should consult healthcare providers.
