This formula contains amylase, the enzyme that digests starches and sugars. Amylase may help digest histamines in the bloodstream and therefore may be helpful for symptomatic relief from minor symptoms of allergies. In addition, it is helpful for those who have trouble digesting starches and have sugar cravings. Amylase may also help those who have gas and bloating from yeast overgrowth or poor starch digestion. Some studies show that low amylase levels may be associated with metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetics.*
