Handok's 5-Complex Digestive Enzyme Supplement 'Festal Superzyme'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Chunhee] Handok announced on the 6th that it will launch ‘Festal Superzyme,’ a five-complex digestive enzyme supplement enhanced for fat and protein digestion, reflecting modern dietary habits.

Festal Superzyme is a five-complex digestive enzyme supplement developed as an over-the-counter comprehensive digestive aid for patients with various complex indigestion symptoms. It contains ▲digestive enzymes (which act directly on digestion to improve indigestion) ▲stomach tonics (to promote stomach function and maintain comfort) ▲antacids (to neutralize stomach acid and protect the stomach) ▲mucosal protectants (to protect the gastric mucosa) ▲and gas removers (to eliminate gas caused by indigestion). It is effective for diverse and complex symptoms such as overeating, indigestion, dyspepsia, epigastric discomfort, and heartburn.

The digestive power, indicated by the enzyme activity value, is high, meaning it has fast and powerful digestion from the stomach to the intestines. Also, considering the increase in the vegan population, non-animal fermented digestive enzymes such as lipase, prozyme, diastase, protease, and cellulase were used.

Festal Superzyme is a tablet-type digestive aid to be taken three times a day; adults should take 1 to 2 tablets per dose, and children aged 8 to under 15 should take 1 tablet per dose with water. Additionally, to prevent misuse of the medicine by visually impaired individuals, the product packaging includes Braille markings, and a system is applied that provides product information via voice when the barcode is scanned with a smartphone.

Kim Miyeon, Executive Director of Handok’s OTC Business Division, said, “Festal Superzyme is a new product confidently introduced by Festal, a steady seller consistently loved in the digestive aid market. Reflecting changes in modern dietary habits and developed based on feedback from consumers as well as experts such as doctors and pharmacists, it will further solidify the Festal brand’s position in the tablet-type digestive aid market.”
