Description
The pancreas might not be as well known as other organs‚ but it also has some very important roles to play in your body. Your pancreas is hidden between your stomach and spine‚ and is responsible for making your stomach less acidic while releasing insulin that helps control your blood sugar levels. It’s also in charge of making sure that all of the proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ and fats you eat are broken down so your body can absorb them and use the nutrients they contain.
Your pancreas is filled with molecules called enzymes that kick start the digestive process. When you have certain conditions like pancreatitis (an inflamed pancreas) or cystic fibrosis (a disease that causes mucus buildup in your pancreas)‚ your body can’t make enough digestive enzymes or properly utilize existing ones. This means your body can’t break down some of the foods you eat‚ which can lead to nutritional deficiencies and other issues.
When your body needs help producing these enzymes‚ a supplement may be what you need to support digestion. Vital Nutrients’ Pancreatic Enzymes 500 mg helps your body digest different types of foods in order to absorb the nutrients they contain. Each capsule contains a full-strength mixture of pancreatin‚ which provides three essential enzymes:
- Protease‚ which is used to break down proteins
- Amylase‚ which helps digest carbs
- Lipase‚ which your body uses to break down fats
Pancreatic Enzymes has been independently tested for several criteria‚ including stability and bacteria‚ solvent residue‚ potency‚ authenticity‚ and yeast and mold counts.
Each bottle of Pancreatic Enzymes by Vital Nutrients contains 90 capsules. The recommended dosage is one or two capsules after a meals‚ unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
