Food Research - Digesti-Pan

Digestive concerns? Think Digesti-Pan™. Why? Because enzymes are involved in every stage of the digestive process [1] and most of those are secreted by the pancreas.

Balance and harmony are important to the entire process because, remarkably, insufficient enzymes can contribute to constipation and insufficient enzymes can contribute to diarrhea [2-3].

Active enzyme levels often decrease with age [2] complaints of indigestion also tend to increase with age.

Oral consumption of digestive enzymes, digestive herbs, and fiber have all been shown to improve digestion [1-5].

Unlike many so-called “natural” formulas, Digesti-Pan™ is comprised of 100% Food, it does not contain any synthetic USP nutrients or isolated mineral salts, but only contains foods, food complexes, and food concentrates.
