Pankreoflat (Pancreatin/ Dimethicone)
Pankreoflat (Pancreatin/ Dimethicone)
Pankreoflat combines two powerful ingredients, Pancreatin and Dimethicone, to support better digestion and relieve uncomfortable gas and bloating. Pancreatin is a mix of digestive enzymes that help break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates for improved nutrient absorption. Dimethicone works as an anti-foaming agent, helping to reduce bloating and gas buildup in the digestive tract. This dual-action formula is often recommended for individuals with digestive enzyme insufficiency, indigestion, or excessive flatulence.
