Pancreatin is a type of animal organ extract (glandular extract) containing the same enzymes that are found in human pancreatic fluid. People with poor circulation and many Crohn's disease patients are often found to be deficient in pancreatic enzymes.
Pancreatic enzymes help to prevent the proliferation of intestinal parasites and detrimental micro organisms within the small intestine. Peer Reviewed Journals: Gullo, L.

Health Leads Supplement Purity Promise
We take our promise seriously. Many other supplement manufacturers routinely use a lubricant called Magnesium Stearate purely to make their machines run faster and save them money. However, magnesium stearate is believed to inhibit the absorption of nutrients. Health Leads pancreatin supplement only contains pure pancreatin in a gelatin capsule, nothing else!
