How does the Drug work
◉Pancreatin and sodium tauroglycocholate are two different components that work together to aid in digestion. Let’s break down their functions and how they work:
◉ Pancreatin: Pancreatin is a mixture of digestive enzymes derived from the pancreas of animals (usually pigs). It contains three main enzymes: amylase, protease, and lipase. Each of these enzymes plays a specific role in breaking down different types of nutrients:
◉ Amylase: This enzyme helps break down carbohydrates (starches and sugars) into smaller molecules like glucose and maltose.
◉ Protease: Proteases are enzymes that help digest proteins, breaking them down into amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.$$Lipase: Lipase is responsible for breaking down fats (lipids) into fatty acids and glycerol.
◉ When someone consumes Pancreatin, it supplements the body’s natural digestive enzymes. This is particularly helpful for individuals with conditions that affect the pancreas or cause insufficient production of digestive enzymes. Pancreatin aids in the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, ensuring that nutrients from the ingested food can be properly absorbed and utilized by the body.
◉ Sodium Tauroglycocholate: Sodium tauroglycocholate, also known as taurocholate, is a bile salt. Bile salts are produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. When we eat a meal containing fats, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine. Bile salts, like tauroglycocholate, are essential for the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
◉ Bile salts work by emulsifying fats, which means they break down large fat globules into smaller droplets. This process increases the surface area of the fats, allowing the pancreatic lipase (from Pancreatin) to efficiently digest them into fatty acids and glycerol. Emulsification is crucial because pancreatic lipase can only act on the surface of fat droplets.
◉ The combination of Pancreatin and sodium tauroglycocholate works in synergy to support the digestion of various nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This combination is often used in enzyme supplements prescribed by healthcare professionals to aid individuals who have difficulties with proper digestion, such as those with pancreatic insufficiency or related conditions. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when using these supplements.
