Silymarin promotes pancreatic cell growthEffect of Silymarin in Pdx-1 expression and the proliferation of pancreatic β-cells in a pancreatectomy model. This study investigated how Silymarin affects the growth of insulin-producing cells in a model of partial pancreas removal in rats.
We treated 72 Wistar rats, half of which were given Silymarin daily. The results were clear: the Silymarin-treated rats showed significant increases in both the Pdx1 gene, which is vital for pancreatic health, and insulin production.
Additionally, their β-cell proliferation improved, leading to better blood sugar control. However, the specific effects on pancreatitis were not explored in this study. Supports digestion Most Useful Review I find this supplement essential and take it daily after my pancreatitis attack and gallstones treatment. It's been incredibly helpful. |

Pancreatin improves nutritional status[The effectiveness of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy using microencapsulated pancreatin preparations in the correction of nutritional status in patients with chronic pancreatitis: a prospective observational study]. We evaluated pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) that uses microencapsulated pancreatin in enhancing nutritional status among patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).
This study included 58 participants, split into two groups based on their nutritional status. Over 8-12 months, both groups received the therapy while we assessed changes in body weight, BMI, and laboratory indicators of nutrition before and after treatment.
Impressively, we found that PERT effectively improved nutritional status in patients suffering from CP. Excellent improvement Most Useful Review 18 people found this helpful I experienced pain in the hypochondria and discovered I had pancreatitis with poor bile outflow. After three weeks of taking the drug, my health has improved significantly. There's no bloating, pain, or nausea, and my stools are normalised in colour and consistency. I can confidently recommend Mega-Zyme as an exceptional enzyme preparation. |

Significant improvement Most Useful Review 167 people found this helpful I want to leave a review about pancreatin. This is from my sister, who has chronic pancreatitis and has suffered from considerable pain and discomfort lately. She believes pancreatin is much more effective than Creon; she felt much better, experiencing no bloating or heaviness after meals. Although heartburn had previously tormented her, if you lack pancreatic enzymes, you might consider replacing Creon with pancreatin after consulting your doctor. Good health to all! |

Excellent for heavy meals Most Useful Review 10 people found this helpful Great for digesting heavy food! I regularly buy papaya enzymes due to my chronic pancreatitis; without them, I can't handle heavy meals. An added advantage is their chlorophyll content, which aids in detoxifying the body and freshening breath. The white, small, flattened-oval tablets are also tasty and fragrant! Affordable enzyme option Most Useful Review 6 people found this helpful The enzyme is superb! I have chronic pancreatitis and must regularly take enzymes. While pharmacies offer animal-derived enzymes like Creon, they come at a high price and can lead to body habituation. In contrast, these plant-based enzymes are safe to use, come in large, affordable packaging, and are effective. I take two after meals and find them excellent. I highly recommend them to everyone and will continue to repurchase. |
