Pancrelipases are generally a first line approach in treatment of exocrine<unk>  insufficiency and other digestive disorders, accompanying cystic fibrosis, complicating surgical<unk> tomy, or resulting from chronic<unk> is. The formulations are generally hard capsules filled with gastro-resistant granules. Pancrelipases and<unk> s are similar, except pancrelipases has an increased lipase component.<unk>  is a mixture of several digestive<unk>  produced by the exocrine cells of the pancreas. It is composed of amylase, lipase and protease. This mixture is used to treat conditions in which<unk>  secretions are deficient, such as surgical<unk> tomy,<unk> is and cystic fibrosis. It has been claimed to help with food allergies, celiac disease, autoimmune disease, cancer and weight loss.<unk>  is sometimes called<unk>  acid", although it is neither a single chemical substance nor an acid.<unk>  contains the<unk> trypsin, amylase and lipase. A similar mixture of<unk>  is sold as pancrelipase, which contains more active lipase<unk> than does<unk> . The trypsin found in<unk>  works to hydrolyze proteins into oligopeptides; amylase hydrolyzes starches into oligosaccharides and the disaccharide maltose; and lipase hydrolyzes triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerols.<unk>  is an effective<unk> supplement for replacing missing<unk>  and aids in the digestion of foods in cases of<unk>  insufficiency.<unk>  reduces the absorption of iron from food in the duodenum during digestion. Some contact lens-cleaning solutions contain porcine<unk>  extractives to assist in the intended protein-removal process.
