Animals with exocrine pancreatic enzyme
insufficiency do not produce enough protease, amylase, or lipase to
effectively digest and absorb fats, protein, and carbohydrates. Bio
Case V is an intestinal aid that provides these pancreatic digestive
enzymes in supplement form to serve as a replacement therapy. This product
includes other key enzymes, including elastase, esterases, nucleases,
and peptidases. The enzymes in Bio Case V are derived from pigs.
Bio Case V capsules are sold in 60
and 240 count bottles. Each capsule contains 57,000 USP units protease,
64,000 USP units amylase, and 9,000 USP units lipase. This dosage is
sufficient for digestion of 33 g fat, 57 g protein, and 64 g starch.
Bio Case V powder is sold in 12 oz
bottles. One teaspoon, or 2.8 g, provides 388,000 USP units protease,
460,000 USP units amylase, and 71,400 USP units lipase.
