Pancreatin 4x, U.S.P.

Pancreatin is a mixture of digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the pancreas. It is composed of amylase, lipase and protease. The trypsin found in pancreatin works to hydrolyze proteins into oligopeptides; amylase hydrolyzes starches into oligosaccharides and the disaccharide maltose; and lipase hydrolyzes triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerols.

Application Notes

Pancreatin is used to treat conditions in which pancreatic secretions are deficient, such as surgical pancreatectomy, pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis. It has been claimed to help with food allergies, celiac disease, autoimmune disease, cancer and weight loss.
