Whenwith meals

Digestive enzymes work by breaking down food, so they're most effective when taken with meals.

Foodwith food

To aid in the digestion of macronutrients and minimize potential stomach irritation from Betaine HCl and high enzyme activity.

SafetySome cautions

High doses of proteolytic enzymes and Betaine HCl can cause stomach irritation in sensitive individuals or those with ulcers. Bromelain may interact with blood thinners.

ResearchStrong evidence

Digestive enzymes, Betaine HCl, and Ox Bile are well-researched for their roles in digestion.

What We Like

  • Comprehensive enzyme profile (proteins, carbs, fats).
  • Includes Betaine HCl and Ox Bile for enhanced digestion.
  • Very high doses of key proteolytic enzymes (Bromelain, Papain, Pepsin).
  • Transparent ingredient dosing.

Watch Out For

  • Betaine HCl dose is on the lower side for significant acid support.
  • Cellulase dose is negligible.
  • Some enzyme doses might be excessively high for general use, potentially leading to irritation.
  • Proprietary blend (Enzyme Blend) hides individual doses
