Pancreatin is a slightly brown，amorphous powder or slightly brown to cream-colored granule. It contains various enzymes having proteolytic ,lipolytic and amylolytic activities.
Function
Dietary Supplement Digestive Enzymes Pancreatin is a mixture of pancreaticenzymes that support digestion. Porcinepancreatin, which is similar to human, consists of proteases (to break down protein), amylases (to breakdown carbohydrates) and lipases (to break down fats). Together they aid the body's natural digestion process and may improve nutrient absorption.
Process
Pancreatin is extracted from healthy porcine pancreas by our exclusive activation-extraction technology.
