Pepsin is one of three enzymes that help the body in the breakdown of proteins.
Pepsin is produced and secreted in the stomach wall into the stomach as food to enter the stomach.
People who can not produce enough pepsin need to take supplements to increase the amount of pepsin in order to digest protein properly.
Here are 3 ways to activate pepsin:
1. Eating foods high in protein such as eggs, meat or cheese.
Pepsin is a natural enzyme designed to break down protein. Once the protein is present, immediately issued gastric pepsin from the stomach wall.
2. Take pepsin supplements as prescribed by your doctor.
3. Continue eating foods high in protein.
Supplements pepsin and hydrochloric acid in the stomach activates pepsin that was removed from the walls of the stomach to aid in digestion of proteins.
