What is Petizyme?
Petizyme powder is a pancreatic enzyme supplement designed to assist in the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. This powder is an activated whole, raw pancreatic enzyme concentrate derived from porcine sources. Made from the highest quality pharmaceutical-grade pancreatin, Petizyme powder, when mixed with your pet’s regular diet, helps initiate the digestive process. It breaks down fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and related nutrients, making them more readily available for absorption by your pet’s digestive tract. Optimal absorption of these essential nutrients can improve your pet’s overall health and quality of life.
Petizyme contains no unnecessary fillers or unproven vitamin additives and is formulated solely from the highest quality whole, raw porcine pancreas available. The powder is sourced, manufactured, and packaged in North America and is acetone-free, adhering to the highest standards set by the Human FDA.
What are Pancreatic Enzymes?
The pancreas plays a crucial role in digestion by producing enzymes that break down food and enable nutrient absorption. It produces three types of enzymes: amylase, lipase, and protease. Amylase is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates, protease breaks down proteins, and lipase breaks down fats. This enzymatic breakdown is essential for the body to absorb and utilize these dietary nutrients. However, there are times when the pancreas cannot produce the necessary enzymes for dogs and cats to digest their food and gain the nourishment they need correctly.
If you suspect that your pet may have a digestive or nutrient absorption issue, it’s essential to consult your veterinarian. In these instances, your veterinarian may recommend a digestive aid for either short-term or long-term use as a supplement to your dog or cat’s feeding routine.
