Pancreatin 8X from Professional Complementary Health Formulas is an extra-strength dietary supplement that supports fat breakdown and the digestion of proteins.

During normal digestion, inactivated pancreatic enzymes move from the pancreas to the small intestine, where the enzymes are activated and help with digestion.

Pancreatic enzyme insufficiency is when the pancreas does not secrete enough of the enzymes the body requires to properly digest foods.

Pancreatic enzyme insufficiency indicators include

• Unintended weight loss, as the body cannot fully digest some foods
• Vitamin deficiencies, especially such fat-soluble vitamins as A, D, E, and K
• loose, pale, oily, foul-smelling stools
• pain in upper abdomen or back, which may worsen after eating or drinking

High doses of pancreatic enzymes can help you digest food fully in cases of food sensitivity, intestinal malabsorption, candida and indigestion due to aging.

Hypoallergenic Pancreatin 8X Plus, an encapsulated formula for rapid metabolism, may help

• Break down carbohydrates, fats and protein
• Help to improve digestion
• Provide antioxidant protection
• Reduce gas and bloating
