Important safety and use flags

  • Complementary feed, not a veterinary medicine. Category-correct “not applicable” medicine-authorisation status does not establish regulator-reviewed efficacy, quantitative enzyme activity or safety.
  • The current manufacturer page names amylase and lipase but publishes no source, amount, activity units, protease, capsule-content mass, complete excipients, batch-potency limits or exact-product study. Do not infer a pancreatic-extract-equivalent dose.
