    I just read about a product byPetAlive .....Pancreas Booster.....it claims to improve pancreatic functioning in cats. Has any one had any experience with this product? When I check out the ingredient list, what should I be looking for..both positive and negative? If the ingredients check out, might it help Linus deal with his pancreatitis

    The pancreas has 2 major functions - insulin secretion into the blood stream and digestive enzyme release into the GI tract. What part is it supposed to improve? Do they cite any peer-reviewed research?

    Here is what is in it.
    • Bromelain
    • Papain
    • Gymnema (Gymnema Sylvestre)
    • Goat's Rue (Galega officinalis)
    • Sweet fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)
    Bromelain and papain are enzymes which may help break down food.


    Note that they say it is not FDA approved.
