Product Description: Pancreatin Digestive Support Supplement Promotes Gastrointestinal Health Gluten Free Dipan-9 provides undiluted pancreatin (lipase, protease, and amylase). Pancreatin promotes the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates and relieves occasional indigestion. Indigestion affects millions of people every day. Diet has a major influence on the frequency and severity of indigestion, but it is also related to the activity of digestive enzymes and can be aggravated by disease, gallbladder removal, antacid abuse, and aging. Pancreatin, which combines three digestive enzymes, amylase, lipase, and protease, is essential for digestion and absorption of many nutrients, especially fats. Supplementing with pancreatin can help support digestion and provide nutrition for those who suffer from occasional indigestion. Many pancreatin supplements contain lactose, which can cause digestive upset if you are lactose intolerant, so Thorne's Dipan-9 contains pancreatin that has not been diluted with lactose. Lactose intolerance, which means a deficiency of the enzyme lactase, is a common reason for prescribing digestive enzyme support products. However, many digestive enzymes on the market (pancreatin, pepsin, papain, bromelain) are actually diluted with lactose to dilute the potency of the digestive enzymes to meet certain specifications. For example, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) states that pepsin and pancreatin have a specified digestive power. Anything higher than the stated USP potency is listed on the label as 2X, 3X, etc., which means that the product has 2 to 3 times the stated USP digestive power. Pure pancreatin typically has a digestive power of 9X. Anything less than 9X means that the pancreatin has been diluted mostly with lactose. Both prescription and non-prescription digestive enzyme products may contain lactose, which is not listed on the label.
