Digestive Enzyme (PP, Kampot, Sihanoukville or online)

Post by tonken »

Where can i buy digestive enzymes? I've been to several different pharmacies with no luck. Currently in Phnom Penh until 26th Nov, then Kampot and after that Sihanoukville before heading to Koh Rong. So it would be nice to find it somewhere before Koh Rong. Any webshop where I can order? Have tried to google but can't find anything.
Thanks in advance

May be of interest!

Gianluca Ianiro et al. Digestive Enzyme Supplementation in Gastrointestinal Diseases. Current Drug Metabolism 2016

This review, performed through a non-systematic search of the available literature, will provide an overview of the current knowledge of digestive enzyme supplementation in gastrointestinal disorders, discussion of the use of pancreatic enzymes, lactase (β-galactosidase) and conjugated bile acids, and also exploring the future perspective of digestive enzyme supplementation.

Conclusion:
New frontiers of enzyme replacement are being evaluated also in the treatment of diseases not specifically related to enzyme deficiency, whereas the combination of different enzymes might constitute an intriguing therapeutic option in the future.

Try to go to the pharmacies with a bunch of product names I guess. Just asking for digestive enzyme might leave the vendors a bit confused.

Suggest you go to a UCare pharmacy in PP with the name of the enzyme you want or a French drug brand name.

Pharmacie de la Gare in PP also stocks a large range. overwhelming number of probiotic cocktails they have in either one.
the thai fruit flavored drinking yoghurts seen in most mini marts advertise as being probiotic with live culture.
not sure if any of that fits what you want.
