Pure Encapsulations Pancreatic Enzyme Formula, 180 Capsules

My doctor wanted to put me on Creon, which is $4000 a month. I did a little research and found this product. It contains the exact same enzymes that Creon does, just in a smaller dose. Saved me about $3900 a month. Excellent product.

Where have these been all my life? Ive taken enzymes before but obviously nothing of this quality. Most Stomach issues resolved with first use. Pricey but worth the money. Worked so well I also purchased the digestive enzymes ultra to cover more bases. I picked these and the ultra specifically because they did not have bromelain or papain which give me issues.

Good product I use it all the time. It doesn’t upset my stomach. If you’re gonna take vitamin C, this would be the one to take.

Works

Update: VITAL doesn't work as well as PURE. It might be because PURE capsules have a coating that's resistant to stomach acid, so it doesn't start breaking down until it gets into the intestines. Because of my Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency, the PURE enzymes were "pretty much" helping me with my digestive issues, but not enough. I googled, and AI said I should have prescription-strength enzymes like Creon and Zenpep. My doctor called in a prescription for each, but before they arrived at the pharmacy, I looked up the amounts of the three pancreatic enzymes in each brand. It turns out that PURE and VITAL from Amazon have the same amounts of enzymes as some of the Rx brands. When I started taking two capsules for each meal, these PURE pancreatic enzymes really worked for me. The VITAL pancreatic enzymes are twice the strength of the PURE, so I only need to take one of these for each meal. So, a month's worth of PURE costs $109.00. A month's worth of VITAL costs $40.00. Currently, with my Medicare insurance NOT covering pancreatic enzymes: A month's worth of CREON costs $1,243.00. A month's worth of ZENPEP costs $4,583.00. The two PURE capsules OR the one VITAL capsule are completely doing the job for me.

As the cost of my husband’s crown skyrocketed, his gastroenterologist suggested these to us. We are on our second month and are having no problems. Been getting a bottle every other week.

Very good

These worked great for the intended purpose, however I got side effects. I have a constant cough and headache. And they seem to act as a fluid pill insofar as making me having no fluid in hands etc, drying of mouth and eyes, however I get a terrible rebound reaction and awaken each morning with my fingers like sausages and so swollen and mucusy I can hardly stand it. And I headache that nothing will take away. Its not just these. I've tried another brand and they did the same thing. Since this is the same thing as the prescription, I looked at the potential side effects for those and while it did not mention the fluid issue, it did mention the cough and headaches as a side effect.
