Digestive Enzymes is a combination of pancreatin (extract of the pancreatic gland containing protease, amylase and lipase), betain (source of HCI extracted from beetroot), ox gall extract (with a high share of taurine) papain (extracted from papaya) and pepsin.

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES is a combination of enzymes adapted to break food down into nutrients in order to facilitate digestion.
The human body produces 22 different digestive enzymes, but this production decreases with age. Other critical enzymes that
facilitate digestion are found in fruit, vegetables and meat, such as betaine, papain and pepsin. Disease and obstruction of the
pancreatic duct can deteriorate the digestive process even more.
Pancreatin is an extract of the pancreatic glands that contains multiple enzymes, particularly protease, amylase and lipase
which complement pancreatic function by breaking down proteins, carbohydrates and fats, respectively, in order to maximize
nutrient absorption from food.
In conditions of poor absorption, such as pancreatic insufficiency and cystic fibrosis, supplementation with digestive enzymes is
recommended. Pancreatic enzymes have also been shown to favour the reduction of gas, distension and fullness after fatty
meals.
There is a theory according to which allergies may be provoked by a lack of digestive proteins. Therefore, proteolytic enzymes
might reduce allergy symptoms by breaking proteins down into smaller sizes to facilitate digestion.
Betaine is essential for breaking down fats and proteins and establishing the appropriate pH for gastric function. Ox bile extract
increases bile production which also aids fat digestion. Papain and pepsin initiate protein digestion in the stomach, breaking it
down into amino acids and peptides which facilitate intestinal absorption.

Indications and uses:
Different studies have shown that the ingredients in DIGESTIVE ENZYMES can relieve the following conditions:
Pancreatic insufficiency characterized by poor digestion, malabsorption, abdominal bloating, a feeling of fullness, gas,
constipation and gastrointestinal inflammation. It's also used in the treatment of pancreatic insufficiency, cystic fibrosis,
chronic pancreatitis, post-pancreatectomy, post-gastrointestinal bypass surgery, obstruction or narrowing of the bile or
pancreatic duct, hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria, pancreatic secretion deficiency and food allergies, among others.
Patients suffering from cancer have been observed to have pancreatic enzyme deficiencies so proteolytic enzymes are
considered to be potentially helpful.
