New Roots Raw Pancreatin
Pancreatin is a combination of digestive enzymes (proteins) called a proteolytic enzyme. These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars.
Pancreatin is used to replace digestive enzymes when the pancreas does not produce enough on its own. Certain medical conditions can cause this lack of enzymes, including cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, pancreatic cell growths, or pancreas surgery. Pancreatin may also be used to treat a condition called steatorrhea (loose, fatty stools).
The scientific evidence supports the use of proteolytic enzyme supplements for enhancing digestive function and for speeding recovery from injury/surgery and reducing swelling/bruising. The benefits in autoimmune diseases and food allergies is less substantial and awaits further study. As such, proteolytic enzyme supplements appear to represent a good value for athletes wishing to enhance recovery from exercise/injury and for patients recovering from surgery.
New Roots Herbal's pancreatin is standardized to 4 (four times stronger).
The Pancreas & Digestion
As foods enter the small intestine from the stomach, two things must happen. Acid must be quickly and efficiently neutralized to prevent damage to the duodenal mucosa. Macromolecular nutrients, proteins, fats and starch must be broken down much further before their constituents can be absorbed through the mucosa into blood.
The pancreas plays a vital role in accomplishing both of these objectives, so vital in fact that insufficient exocrine secretion by the pancreas can lead to starvation, even if consuming adequate quantities of high quality food. In addition to its role as an exocrine organ, the pancreas is also an endocrine organ that produces the hormones insulin and glucagon. These hormones play a vital role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. They are, for example, absolutely necessary for maintaining normal blood concentrations of glucose.
Secretion from the exocrine pancreas is regulated by both neural and endocrine controls. During interdigestive periods, very little secretion takes place, but as food enters the stomach and, a little later, chyme flows into the small intestine, pancreatic secretion is strongly stimulated.
Like the stomach, the pancreas is innervated by the vagus nerve, which applies a low-level stimulus to secretion in response to anticipation of a meal. However, the most important stimuli for pancreatic secretion comes from the three hormones Cholecystokinin, Secretin, and Gastrin secreted by the enteric endocrine system.
