Pepsin

A Primary Gastric Enzyme for Efficient Protein Breakdown

Pepsin is a naturally occurring gastric protease responsible for initiating the digestion of dietary proteins in the stomach. Activated in acidic environments, Pepsin breaks down complex proteins into smaller peptides, facilitating improved nutrient absorption and digestive efficiency.

Commonly used in digestive support supplements, Pepsin is particularly beneficial in formulations targeting low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria), protein malabsorption, and post-meal heaviness. It is often combined with Betaine HCl or other digestive enzymes to enhance gastric function and overall digestive performance.

Standardized in USP units of activity, Pepsin ensures consistent enzymatic potency and predictable formulation performance. Its acid-stable nature allows it to function optimally within gastric pH conditions.

Our high-quality Pepsin Powder is manufactured under stringent quality controls to ensure stable enzymatic activity, low microbial levels, and consistent batch-to-batch purity, making it suitable for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications.
