Simply Pancreas is a 100% Food supplement that is intended to supply nutrients needed to maintain and support optimal pancreas and digestive health. Simply Pancreas contains many of the substances produced by, or naturally in, the pancreas including peptides, hormone precursors, and enzymes. The pancreas is both an endocrine and exocrine gland. “Pancreatic secretion contains enzymes for digesting all three major types of food: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats…The more important proteolytic enzymes are trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypolypeptidase…The pancreatic enzyme for carbohydrates is pancreatic amylase, which hydrolyzes starches, glycogen, and most other carbohydrates…The main enzymes for fat digestion are pancreatic lipase, which is capable of hydrolizing neutral fat into fatty acids and monoglycerides; cholesterol esterase, which causes hydrolysis of cholesterol esters; and phospholipase, which splits fatty acids from phospholipids.” Bovine pancreas tissue helps maintain the pancreas in a good state of repair to support healthy pancreatic function.
