The pancreas plays a crucial role for good digestion and proper absorption of nutrients. It secretes digestive juice, consisting of bicarbonate and digestive enzymes. Bicarbonate neutralizes stomach acid and makes pancreas secretion more alkaline, while enzymes break down food into smaller molecules, allowing the body to use vitamins, fats, amino acids, and minerals more efficiently. The reasons for insufficient production of pancreatic enzymes include: chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune disorders, cystic fibrosis, alcoholism, cancer or a cyst of the pancreas (duodenum), old age, allergies, high levels of triglycerides (fats) in the blood. Symptoms of enzyme deficiency include abdominal pain after eating, weight loss despite normal servings of food, excessive intestinal gas, bloating, parasitic infections, yellow, floating, stinking or oily stools, repeated diarrhea. Most people experience one or two symptoms. If there are signs of an enzyme deficiency or overeating occurs, then taking the enzyme supplements can only benefit. The composition of PANCREATIN includes: AMILASE, which digests carbohydrates. Her deficiency causes bloating and loose stools. PROTEASE helps to digest proteins. There are several types: trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase. They break down proteins (peptide bonds) into smaller peptides and, in addition, support the immune system, reduce swelling of the mucous membranes during inflammation, and fight bacteria, yeast and protozoa in the intestines. Protease deficiency leads to allergies and intestinal infections. LIPASE breaks down fat. In order for her to do her job well, bile salts must also be present, which contribute to the absorption of fat. The lack of lipase prevents the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, K, E, D, which can cause problems with the gastrointestinal tract, vision, skin and hair. Regarding the intake of enzymes, researchers at the Columbia University Medical Center give the following recommendations: 1. If the supplement is not effective, the reason may be that the pancreas does not produce enough bicarbonate (a substance that reduces the level of acid in the small intestine). Or the fact that the dose of enzymes is too low to digest the eaten fat. In this case, it is better to take the right amount of enzymes than to excessively limit the amount of fat in the diet. Sometimes the benefit comes from using a different brand of enzymes, since each supplement is slightly different in the ratio of lipase, amylase, protease. 2. When choosing a dose, you should focus on units of lipase (an enzyme that digests fat). Adults should take enzymes in the range of 10,000-20,000 units. lipases with small portions of food or 20 000-40 000 units. lipases with plenty of food. You can not take above 2500 units of lipase per kg of weight per meal. Usually, after taking the enzymes, relief comes immediately, but if the symptoms are still present, then you need to adjust the dose or type of enzymes with your doctor. 3. Store enzymes in a cool, dry place, but not in the refrigerator. 4. Enzymes work well together with probiotics, but their work is different. With the help of probiotics, the gastrointestinal tract is normalized and leveled. 5. Enzymes must be taken before you start eating, and probiotics – no later than 30 minutes after a meal, washed down with cold water. It is also useful to include fermented foods in the diet: kefir, sauerkraut, kvas
