Why is Lypex different from other pancreatic supplements?

Most pancreatic preparations come in a powder form and these enzymes are not protected from acid digestion. This result in two-thirds of ingested pancreatic enzymes being destroyed in the stomach before they reach the small intestine.

To compensate for this destruction pancreatic enzymes powders are therefore fed in very high quantities and concentrations. This can have various side effects such as:

1) Causing erosion of the mucus membranes of the oesophagus and mouth.
2) Causing irritation to the skin of the owner and animal.

Lypex is a unique veterinary pancreatic enzyme supplement using technology developed in the human field. The purified and concentrated pancreatic enzymes are made into micro-pellets and each pallet is enteric-coated. This gives 100% protection to the enzymes from the damaging degradative acids present in the stomach.

Within ten minutes of the pellets passing the stomach to the alkaline environment of the small intestine the protective enteric coating dissolves and releases the protected enzymes to maximise digestion.

Usage
For dogs over 10kg one capsule should be given with each meal (twice a day)

For cats and dogs under 10kg, half a capsule with each meal.

The capsule can either be given whole or sprinkled and mixed with the food.
