This herbal and mineral formula was formulated with nutrients that must be present for proper pancreatic function. Target minerals are chelated to specific amino acids, and as chelates, they are readily absorbed and targeted to specific body systems.

This herbal and mineral formula was formulated with nutrients that must be present for proper pancreatic function. Target minerals are chelated to specific amino acids, and as chelates, they are readily absorbed and targeted to specific body systems.

Amino acids are used as chelates since the body can only utilize minerals in an organic-bound form. To be absorbed most efficiently, minerals should be chelated (bonded) with amino acids. Amino acids are the best chelates because they neutralize the electrical charge of the mineral. The mineral is then less likely to combine with other minerals to form an insoluble compound which would pass out of the body. Amino acid chelates are also easily and efficiently absorbed.

Nature's Sunshine uses only pure amino acid chelates which are chemically bonded. Some products are labeled as amino acid chelates but may actually just be mixtures of amino acids and minerals which are not bonded together. These products are not true chelates.

It has been found that the type of amino acids
that a mineral is chelated to will cause it to be
directed to different body organs and systems.

This appears to be due to the fact that different organs and structures contain differing mixes of amino acids. By determining which three amino acids are found most abundantly in an particular organ and bonding a mineral to those amino acids, researchers have been able to target mineral nutrition specifically to those organs. This only works with the purified amino acid chelates. It does not work if the amino acids are simply mixed with the mineral salts and it doesn't work if the sulfides, chlorides, etc. are not removed from the chelate during the bonding process.

Nature's Sunshine follows the guidelines of this research to produce a pure and potent product.

The target minerals of this formula are chromium and zinc, which are chelated with the amino acids glutamine, leucine and lysine. These are added to a proprietary blend of 14 herbs that target the health of the pancreas.

Chromium is part of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which helps regulate blood glucose levels. Chromium works with insulin, making it more efficient, thereby reducing the amount the pancreas needs to produce.

Zinc is a companion mineral that's involved in maintaining proper blood sugar levels and in the functioning of B vitamins. It seems to be easily lost from the body.

Proprietary Blend:
Golden Seal Root (Hydrastis canadensis), Juniper Berries (Juniperus communis), Uva Ursi Leaves (Arctostaphylos uva ursi), Cedar Berries (Juniperus osteosperma), Mullein Leaves (Verbascum thapsus), Garlic Bulb (Allium sativum), Yarrow Flowers (Achillea millefolium), Slippery Elm Bark (Ulmus fulva), Capsicum Fruit (Capsicum annuum), Dandelion Root (Taraxcum officinale), Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis), Nettle Herb (Urtica dioica), White Oak Bark (Quercus alba), Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) in gelatin capsules.

Amount Per Capsule
Zinc (amino acid chelate) 15 mg
Chromium (amino acid chelate) 80 mcg
Proprietary herbal blend 170 mg (herbal ingredients shown above)Target P-14

PLEASE NOTE: Target P-14 may seem to be the same as Pro-Pancreas, but it is not an herbal formula. It is a targeted mineral formula with an herbal base. The herbal base is a minute quantity, placed there solely as a synergistic factor for the minerals. Pro-Pancreas is a companion product for this formula and generally they are used together for a program to strengthen the pancreas.
