Ingredients explained
Amylase
Amylase breaks down starches into smaller sugars to aid carbohydrate digestion.
Caution: Start with the lowest dose to gauge comfort, as rapid starch breakdown may cause temporary digestive changes.
Xylanase
Xylanase breaks down hemicellulose fibers like xylans from plant foods to reduce heaviness after high-fiber meals.
Caution: May increase sensitivity in people with highly fiber-rich meals; adjust serving to comfort.
Neutral Bacterial Protease
Protease breaks dietary proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids to aid protein digestion.
Caution: If sensitive to high-protein meals, begin with a small amount to minimize digestive discomfort.
Alpha-Galactosidase
Alpha-galactosidase breaks complex sugars in legumes and cruciferous vegetables into simpler sugars to reduce gas-forming compounds.
Caution: Those with sensitive digestion may prefer taking it at the first bites of meals containing beans or cruciferous vegetables.
Lipase
Lipase breaks dietary fats into fatty acids and glycerol to aid fat digestion and nutrient absorption.
Caution: Take with food containing fat, as taking on an empty stomach may cause mild stomach upset.
How they work together
Carbohydrate-focused enzymes (amylase, glucoamylase, alpha-galactosidase) break complex starches and plant sugars into absorbable units, while xylanase targets plant fiber components that can cause gas. Protease supports protein breakdown, and lipase supports fat digestion, rounding out broad digestive coverage across macronutrients.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Do not use if the tamper-proof seal is broken.
Storage: Keep container closed and store in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, use a freezer.
