Pancreatin is a standardized, highly active, single-species-derived enzyme combination that is largely identical to the natural physiological pattern of human pancreatic enzymes. These qualities make pancreatin from porcine intestinal mucosa the ideal product for the management of pancreatic dysfunction.

The pancreatic glands used as the starting material for pancreatin production are obtained from slaughtered pigs raised for human consumption.
Sourcing is monitored by veterinary surgeons and takes place under standardized conditions. The sources are selected EU-certified abattoirs. The deep-frozen organs are then transported to the pancreatin plant in Uetersen where active ingredient extraction takes place according to a patented process.
