Product Details
The pancreas is a large organ of the digestive and endocrine system. It is located deep within the upper abdomen, surrounded by the stomach, small intestine, liver and spleen. The pancreas performs two important functions within the body, including producing digestive juices and enzymes to help digest fats and proteins. Another important pancreatic function is to produce the hormone insulin, together with a variety of other hormones.
A diet that is high in fiber and complex carbohydrates slows the digestive process and helps to stabilize blood sugar levels. In obese animals, losing weight is also advised as an essential part of treatment, and your vet may advise a prescription diet. Avoid commercially-prepared pet foods, which may contain high amounts of sugar and preservatives and possible cause more problems regarding insulin insufficiency and pancreatic disorders in dogs and cats.
Pancreas Booster contains a combination of herbs known for their ability to promote pancreatic health. This 100% herbal remedy supports the pancreas in its creation of important enzymes needed during the digestive process. Pancreas Booster is also an excellent overall tonic supplement which promotes the breakdown of foods in the intestines to support pancreatic health and vitality.
There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that the use of carefully chosen herbal ingredients can help to promote pancreatic health. Along with the correct lifestyle choices, our herbal remedies can make all the difference to your pet’s health. Pancreas Booster is presented in the form of vege-capsules that are easy to administer to pets as they may be given whole, or opened and mixed with food or a treat, depending on your pet's size and preferences.
