What is PERT?
Pancreatic Exocrine Replacement Therapy (PERT) is required when the body is unable to generate or to deliver sufficient digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas to break down the foods and absorb its nutrients. It is a lifesaving therapy; without it, patients are unable to break down or absorb nutrients.

Previously, treatment was with pancrealise, digestive enzymes extracted from pork pancreas. Though cheap and relatively safe, it has two serious problems:

Rather than developing an equal product, we aimed for a real therapeutic jump. This simple, mechanical innovation puts the technology in a category of its own.
By using enzymes from multiple sources that are active at different pH levels, we ensure the therapy covers the entire digestive system—reducing the burden on the intestine and delivering a solution that is multiple times more effective than traditional therapy.

Earlier Digestion
Pain Reduction?
Less Pain?
Can reducing symptoms and pain (specifically in the stomach) be achieved by initiating digestion earlier in the GI tract?

Higher Efficiency?
We theorise that starting PERT earlier and by optimising enzymatic activity means far less pills are needed.

Reduced Burden is the ultimate goal
Less burden on the entire digestive tract. The intestine receives the food already digested and can focus more on nutrient absorption and regenerating itself.
