Medicine Description gestin
Gestin 20 Capsules is a medication that contains papain, a proteolytic enzyme derived from the papaya fruit. Papain aids in the breakdown of proteins and assists in the digestive process. By facilitating the digestion of food, it helps mitigate symptoms such as gas and bloating. When ingested, papain acts on the proteins in the gastrointestinal tract, promoting their breakdown into smaller peptides and amino acids. This enzymatic action reduces the formation of gas and alleviates discomfort associated with indigestion. Consequently, it assists in the overall digestive process, allowing for more efficient nutrient absorption and reducing the sensation of fullness and abdominal pain.
