Bio-6-Plus (Pancreatic/Digestive Enzymes) from Biotics Research Corp. (Save 10% - Use Coupon Code:  Biotics10  at checkout) Bio-6-Plus is a digestive support from pancreatic enzymes, along with SOD and catalase. It supplies amylase, lipase and protease from pancreas tissue concentrate. Recommendation: 1 tablet 3 times daily. The pancreas possesses two major secretory glands, and consequently possesses dual functions, that of an exocrine and an endocrine gland.  As an exocrine gland it serves to secrete the major digestive enzymes amylase, protease and lipase, which function to digest starches, proteins, and fats, respectively. In addition to these, the pancreas also secretes trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase. Exocrine insufficiency is characterized by deficiency or absence of these three major pancreatic digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in one or all three of these enzymes prevent the normal break down and absorption of food, leading to maldigestion and nutrient malabsorption.
