What is Pepsin?
Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the stomach lining of pigs or other animals. It is classified as a digestive enzyme and is commonly included in dietary supplements aimed at supporting digestive processes. Pepsin is used in products marketed for gut health, often combined with other enzymes such as amylase and lipase. Its role in formulations is to aid in the breakdown of proteins during digestion, making it a frequent component in digestive enzyme blends and supplements targeting overall digestive comfort.
