Pancreatin is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the pancreas gland. It is mainly composed of amylase, lipase and protease enzymes. It is a digestive enzyme produced by the pancreas and delivered to the small intestine for the hydrolysis of complex nutrients. Pancreatin contains enzymatic components including trypsin, amylase and lipase, ribonuclease, and protease, produced by the exocrine cells of the porcine pancreas. This combination of enzymes allows it to hydrolyze proteins, starch and fats.
