What is Duodenum Substances?

Duodenum substances are extracts obtained from the duodenum, which is a part of the small intestine in animals like cows and pigs. These substances are often used in dietary supplements and alternative medicine for their purported digestive benefits, as they contain enzymes that aid in the breakdown of food. The use of animal-derived ingredients makes them unsuitable for vegans and vegetarians.
