Pan-V®: A Vegetarian Digestive Enzyme Blend to Support Comfortable Digestion
Digestion often goes unnoticed until it falters. If you feel sluggish after meals, react to certain foods, or need added support with nutrient breakdown, digestive enzymes may help.
Pan-V is a vegetarian enzyme formula featuring natural plant enzymes that function across a wide pH range to promote digestion. When taken with meals, it helps replenish enzymes diminished by processed or cooked foods.
What digestive enzymes actually do
Digestive enzymes are proteins that help break food into smaller parts for absorption. Pan-V® contains enzymes for major macronutrients: protein, carbs, fats, and also for fiber and lactose.
Here’s what each type does:
Protease: breaks down protein *
Amylase: breaks down starch/carbohydrates *
Lipase: breaks down fat *
Cellulase: breaks down fiber *
Lactase: breaks down lactose (milk sugar) *
Pan-V® also includes two well-known plant-based protein enzymes:
Papain (papaya): primarily supports protein digestion *
Bromelain (pineapple): primarily supports protein digestion *
Why are enzymes helpful with modern diets?
Ideally, we would consume mostly fresh, unprocessed foods. In reality, many meals are cooked, packaged, or processed, which is significant as naturally occurring enzymes are often lost to heat and processing.
People turn to enzyme supplements to aid digestion when food lacks natural enzymes, especially when taken before or with meals.
How I’d think about using Pan-V®
As an enzyme blend, Pan-V® is most effective with meals, especially those high in protein, carbs, fats, or dairy (due to lactase).
This is not a supplement for any time. Enzymes are most effective when there is food to digest.
