Digestin is a prescription-only pancreatic enzyme supplement designed to support healthy digestion in individuals with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI). It helps restore normal digestive function, allowing the body to absorb essential nutrients from food and improve overall health and well-being.
Digestin is used to manage pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI), a condition where the body does not produce enough enzymes to properly digest food. This condition commonly affects individuals with cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis, or those who have undergone upper gastrointestinal surgery.
Common symptoms of PEI include:
These symptoms occur due to poor nutrient absorption, which can lead to malnutrition and negatively impact quality of life. Digestin helps restore enzyme activity, improve digestion, and enhance nutrient uptake, relieving abdominal symptoms and supporting nutritional health.
Digestin contains natural digestive enzymes extracted from the pancreas of pigs (porcine source). These enzymes assist in the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the digestive system.
Note: Digestin 10,000 and Digestin 25,000 are available only with a doctor’s prescription. Your doctor may also recommend Digestin for other approved uses.
