Pan-GL™: An Acid-Resistant Digestive Enzyme to Support Healthy Digestion
If you’ve ever felt like food lingers after a meal, particularly heavier meals high in fat or protein, you may wonder if digestive enzymes could help. Today I’m examining Pan-GL™, an acid-resistant digestive enzyme supplement formulated to enhance the body’s natural digestive function.*
Pan-GL™ is a porcine-derived raw pancreas concentrate with potent enzymatic activity, formulated to help the body digest the three major macronutrients: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.*
What “acid-resistant” means (and why it matters)
A key challenge with enzyme supplements is the stomach’s high acidity. If enzymes break down prematurely, they may not function optimally in the later stages of digestion.
Pan-GL™ is acid-resistant, meaning it is formulated to better withstand stomach acid and support digestion more effectively.*
Why pancreatic enzymes are important for digestion
The pancreas naturally produces enzymes that aid digestion. Pan-GL™ uses a raw pancreas concentrate that provides three major digestive enzymes:
Amylase helps break down carbohydrates.
Protease helps break down proteins.
Lipase helps break down fats.
When these enzymes are present in sufficient quantities, they support efficient nutrient digestion.*
Pan-GL™ ingredients list (One Capsule Contains)
Raw Porcine Pancreas Concentrate — 700 mg
Amylase — 175,000 USP Units

So, who might consider an enzyme supplement like this?
Pan-GL™ is intended to support general digestive function, especially for breaking down mixed meals that contain proteins, carbs, and fats.* People often consider enzyme support when they notice things like:
Heaviness after eating
Trouble digesting higher-protein or higher-fat meals
Digestive discomfort that seems meal-related
(If symptoms are persistent, severe, or new, it’s always worth checking in with a healthcare professional to rule out underlying issues.)
Important cautions (please read)
Pan-GL™ has several key cautions:
Do not use if you have a prior history of or a current peptic or duodenal ulcer.
Do not use if you are allergic or hypersensitive to pork protein.
Keep out of reach of children.
Storage
Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
