How does Encala help?
CF causes the body to produce thick mucus that makes it hard for your intestine to absorb fat and nutrients—so you have to ingest more calories to compensate.
Encala contains an easily absorbed type of fat called lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), which combines with the fats from other foods and drinks, helping your body absorb additional fat through the intestinal wall. In this way, Encala improves your nutritional status, including your weight, height, and body mass index (BMI), beyond what you would experience on pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) alone.
