Hi-Lipase is designed for individuals who have difficulty efficiently digesting lipids (fats). Lipases are a class of enzymes that assist in the breakdown of dietary fats. Lipases are produced by the salivary glands, pancreas and stomach. They are also manufactured by certain plants. Hi Lipase aids digestion of fat-containing foods, including nuts. Contains 240 LU per two-capsule serving. Take one or two capsules up to twice daily before consuming high fat foods.
