Does Taking Pancreatic Enzymes Between Meals Reduce Inflammation In Tissues?
From my reading I have gotten the impression that taking pancreatic enzymes between meals will help to detoxify/disarm any undigested food particles circulating in the blood & thus help to reduce inflammation in the tissues. Is this correct? Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar and I am pleased to assist you.
Pancreatic enzyme supplements help to digest the nutrients in the small intestine. These nutrients get digested in to simpler substances and get absorbed through the inner lining of the small intestine before entering the circulation.
These do not reduce inflammation in tissues or detoxify undigested food particles.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar
