Diaplex® by Standard Process: Digestion, Pancreas Care & Blood Sugar Support

Diaplex® is one of my go-to supplements for supporting the pancreas and maintaining balanced digestion. It’s a whole food–based product made by Standard Process that combines vitamins, minerals, and organ extracts to help your body use nutrients more efficiently.

The pancreas plays a key role in blood sugar regulation and digestive enzyme production. When it’s under stress, we can experience symptoms like fatigue after meals, bloating, or blood sugar swings. Diaplex® was designed to nourish the pancreas and related organs to promote steady energy and better digestion.

Key Benefits of Diaplex®

I often recommend Diaplex® for clients who need gentle, nutritional support for their digestive and metabolic systems. Here’s what it can help with:

1. Pancreas and Digestive Support

• Contains bovine pancreas extract and pancreatin, which supply enzymes that aid digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

• Helps reduce digestive sluggishness and supports better nutrient absorption.

2. Blood Sugar Balance

• Includes chromium, a trace mineral known to help your body regulate carbohydrate metabolism and maintain normal blood sugar levels.

• Offers steady energy support for people who feel tired or crave sugar after meals.

3. Whole-Body Wellness

• Provides essential nutrients like vitamin A, niacin, vitamin B6, iodine, and sodium, which all play roles in healthy metabolism, immune function, and hormone balance.

• Plant ingredients like alfalfa, buckwheat, carrot, and sweet potato supply antioxidants and minerals that promote general vitality.

How Practitioners Use Diaplex®

In holistic and integrative care, Diaplex® is often used as part of a broader support plan for:

• Digestive weakness or enzyme insufficiency

• Pancreatic stress or fatigue

• Blood sugar fluctuations (especially alongside diet and lifestyle improvements)

Many practitioners combine Diaplex® with other Standard Process products such as AF Betafood® or Chromium Complex (formerly Cataplex® GTF) for synergistic metabolic support.

This supplement isn’t meant to diagnose or treat disease, but to nourish the organs involved in digestion and metabolism so they can function more efficiently.

Possible Side Effects

Diaplex® is generally well tolerated. However, some people may experience mild digestive changes when starting any new supplement, such as temporary bloating or an upset stomach.

Because it contains soy and wheat, it’s not ideal for individuals with sensitivities to those ingredients. Always start slowly and listen to your body. If you notice discomfort, pause use and check with your practitioner.

Is Diaplex® Gluten-Free?

Yes. Diaplex® is certified gluten-free, meaning it’s safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Standard Process uses strict manufacturing controls to ensure no gluten contamination occurs.

My Take on Diaplex®

I’ve seen Diaplex® make a real difference for clients struggling with digestive sluggishness, post-meal fatigue, or mild blood sugar swings. When used as part of a balanced plan that includes clean eating and lifestyle care, it can be a wonderful tool for restoring natural digestive rhythm and supporting metabolic balance.
