Key actives per serving
- Protease (neutral/alkaline): 172,000 HUT
- Protease (Bacillus subtilis): 143,000 HUT
- Bromelain: 1,800,000 FCCPU
- Lactase: 3,162 ALU

How to take
Take 3 capsules daily with meals; spreading doses across main meals may suit mixed diets, and enzyme products are often better tolerated when taken at the start of eating.

Ingredients explained
Protease (neutral/alkaline)
Protease breaks peptide bonds in dietary proteins, helping reduce large proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for easier absorption.
Caution: May cause discomfort if taken on an empty stomach for some people because concentrated protease can irritate sensitive digestive tracts.
Protease (Bacillus subtilis)
Microbial protease helps hydrolyse complex proteins across a broad pH range, supporting protein breakdown during digestion.
Caution: Those with known sensitivity to enzyme supplements should start with a lower amount to gauge tolerance.
Bromelain
Bromelain is a cysteine protease from pineapple that helps cleave protein chains, aiding the digestion of protein-rich meals.
Caution: May interact with blood-thinning agents and may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in sensitive individuals.
Lactase
Lactase splits lactose into glucose and galactose, which may help the body handle dairy sugars more comfortably.
Caution: If you do not consume dairy, this enzyme may be unnecessary; those with severe lactose intolerance should assess response carefully.
Fungal Amylase
Amylase breaks down starches into smaller sugars, supporting carbohydrate digestion early in the digestive process.
Caution: High-enzyme blends may cause temporary gas or bloating as digestion patterns adjust.
How they work together
Multiple proteases and bromelain target different peptide bonds across varied pH ranges, broadening protein breakdown throughout digestion. Carbohydrate enzymes like amylase and lactase address starches and lactose, while lipases focus on fats, providing coverage for the major macronutrients in mixed meals.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if pregnant or nursing, have a serious medical condition, or are taking any medications. Discontinue use if adverse effects occur.
Who should be cautious: People with pineapple allergy may be sensitive to bromelain. Those monitoring vitamin D intake should note each serving contains 60 mcg (2400 IU), which is above the general daily intake for many adults. If you take anticoagulants or other medications affected by vitamin D status, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
