What does the tablet contain?

Enzymes are protein compounds that speed up chemical reactions. Pancreatin is a mixture of enzymes containing amylase, protease and lipase; the designation 10X indicates its concentration. Bromelain is an enzyme obtained from pineapple and papain from papaya, while cellulase and pepsin complete the range of enzymes. In addition to milligrams, the amount of enzymes is expressed in activity units: USP units, GDU, FCC PU, FCC CU and FCC pepsin units are standardised units that describe enzyme activity under laboratory conditions. Betaine is a compound found naturally in beetroot, for example, and in this product it is in the form of a hydrochloride. The ox bile extract is standardised to a total cholic acid content of at least 45%. The tablet also contains 20 mg of calcium from calcium carbonate, which is 3% of the nutrient reference value.

How to use?

Take one tablet a day with a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. If you take medication, especially blood thinners, or have an allergy to papaya or pineapple, consult a physician before use. At one tablet a day, the bottle lasts 90 days. After opening, keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children.
