The outer portion of the tablet is pepsin, which helps digest
proteins into soluble proteoses and peptones. This outer portion and coating is
dissolved in the stomach to aid in the digestion there.** The presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) is necessary for
the functioning of pepsin. The
better the HCl, the more efficiently the
pepsin functions.
The inner portion contains several digestive aids,
including: 1) bile from the bovine gall bladder to aid in emulsifying fats and
other fat digestants which activate pancreatic lipase, and 2)
pancreatic
substances – amylase for starch, lipase for fats, and protease for
proteins with equal parts of trypsin, chymotrypsin and other proteolytic
enzymes.
The tablet portion has an enteric coating which resists stomach
acid. This prevents the pancreatic enzymes from being destroyed and allows them
to be able to work in the small intestine. The pancreatic enzymes need the
alkaline medium of the intestine for best results.
For this reason, swallow
the tablets whole. Do not chew them.
