The main function of the stomach is digestion. The stomach stores the food we eat and produces acids and enzymes that break down the food into energy and nutrients that the body needs for nourishment. Therefore, ensuring optimal stomach functions is crucial for overall health and well-being.
Stomach-HPK assists in normal digestive functions such as:
Proper enzymatic digestion of proteins and fats
Limiting absorption of water, alcohol, and some drugs
Efficient functioning of small intestines

Papaya Leaf contains a remarkable protein-dissolving enzyme. As a natural digestive aid, Papaya Leaf stimulates digestive acids and the production of bile, which may also lead to a healthier liver and pancreas, and is also used to stimulate appetite.
Amylase is an enzyme that converts starches into sugars. It is an integral part of the digestive process through its production in the salivary glands and pancreas. Amylase can be used in coordination with other enzymes to aid digestion during episodes of occassional heartburn or indigestion. It may also be taken before each meal to reduce one’s appetite.
Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins (i.e., it is a proteolytic enzyme, also referred to as a protease). These enzymes enter the digestive system and passes through the stomach or intestines to enter the circulatory system and travel throughout the body.
Lipase is an enzyme made by the pancreas. When one eats, lipase is released into the digestive tract to aid in the breakdown of fats. Lipase also functions to increase cell permeability, which allows vital nutrients and wastes to flow across the cell wall to provide nourishment for the cells.
The chief component of the body's stomach fluids, pepsin is a digestive enzyme that is produced from a precursor substance called pepsiongen. Pepsin is produced in the cells of stomach lining and excreted in response to food entering the digestive tract. The body produces pepsin in various forms, with the most active form being pepsin A.
