Q: Does Epizyme contain Vitamins A, D and E or B12?
A: No. Products containing these additional vitamins may reference studies related to the need for these vitamins in dogs and cats with EPI but few if any have done the necessary research to determine what effect combining these vitamins with pancreatic enzymes has on the potency or efficacy of the vitamins themselves over the course of the expiration dating. As each case of EPI is unique, not only do the enzyme requirements vary on a case by case basis but the supplementation requirements may vary as well. We believe that the needs for your pet’s vitamin supplementation is best determined by your veterinarian. In other words, we do not use the additions of these vitamins as a marketing tool.
