Digestive support; Protein, fat, and carbohydrate breakdown; Nutrient absorption
Who it may fit
Adults who want added digestive support during larger or varied meals and people whose diets include mixed proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Key actives per serving
- Protease (from pancreatin): part of Pancreatin 4x 250 mg
- Amylase (from pancreatin and barley diastase): part of Pancreatin 4x 250 mg; Diastase 80 mg
- Lipase (from pancreatin): part of Pancreatin 4x 250 mg
- Ox bile powder (standardized to 45% cholic acid): 150 mg
- Bromelain and papain (from pineapple and papaya): Bromelain 10 mg (2,400 GDU/gram); Papain 30 mg
How to take
Take 1 tablet three times daily with food and water; taking with meals aligns enzyme release to the macronutrients you eat.
Diet / Allergen fit
Contains: Bovine-derived ox bile; contains barley source for diastase; contains pineapple and papaya sources for bromelain and papain.
Ingredients explained
Protease (from pancreatin)
Protease breaks dietary proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for easier absorption in the small intestine.
Caution: May cause discomfort if taken on an empty stomach for some people; take with meals to align with protein intake.
Amylase (from pancreatin and barley diastase)
Amylase and diastase break complex carbohydrates and starches into simpler sugars that the body can absorb.
Caution: Those sensitive to barley sources should review ingredients; take with meals containing carbs.
Lipase (from pancreatin)
Lipase breaks down dietary fats into fatty acids and glycerol to aid absorption in the small intestine.
Caution: Best taken with meals containing fat; high doses may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.
Ox bile powder (standardized to 45% cholic acid)
Bile acids emulsify dietary fats, increasing their surface area so lipase can act more effectively for fat digestion.
Caution: Derived from animal source; not suitable for vegetarians or those avoiding bovine products.
Bromelain and papain (from pineapple and papaya)
These plant proteases help break protein chains into smaller peptides, complementing pancreatic protease activity.
Caution: Use caution if allergic to pineapple or papaya; may increase sensitivity if taken on an empty stomach.
How they work together
Pancreatic enzymes provide broad support for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, while ox bile improves fat emulsification to enhance lipase action. Plant proteases bromelain and papain add additional protein-breaking activity, and diastase supports starch breakdown alongside amylase. Cellulase contributes fiber breakdown that human enzymes do not handle, rounding out coverage of varied meals.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with allergies to pineapple or papaya may be sensitive due to bromelain and papain. Those with gallbladder concerns or bile duct issues may need caution with ox bile. Individuals with ulcer history or acid-sensitive stomachs may need caution with betaine HCl. Discuss with a healthcare provider before combining with medications if you have any concerns.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
