Recent Developments
- November 2021- Lee Health Domain, a Hyderabad-based firm, announced the development of a pancreatic enzyme blend obtained from a vegetarian source to resolve pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and launched the drug by the brand name Peopleact of Enzymeact which helps in the diges. Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency suffers from a problem with digesting food properly because of cystic fibrosis, lack of digestive enzymes, pancreas removal or long-term pancreatitis, as said by the Domain director at Lee Health, Leela Rani.
The latest tablet by the company contains amylase, lipase, and protease and are obtained from vegetarian sources by microbial fermentation technology. Amylase helps in digestion by splitting carbohydrates, whereas protease aids in the digestion of dietary proteins to enable absorption of, amino acid lipase breaks down fats in food to aid better absorption in the intestine.
