Ingredients explained
Protease (from Pancreatin 4x)
Proteases break peptide bonds in dietary proteins, producing smaller peptides and amino acids for easier absorption in the small intestine.
Caution: Those with sensitivity to animal-derived enzymes may prefer to avoid; stop if digestive discomfort occurs.
Lipase (from Pancreatin 4x)
Lipase hydrolyses dietary triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol to aid fat digestion.
Caution: May cause digestive upset in sensitive individuals; take with meals to minimise discomfort.
Amylase (from Pancreatin 4x)
Amylase breaks down starches into smaller sugars to support carbohydrate digestion.
Caution: Rarely may cause bloating if taken away from meals; best taken with food.
Ox Bile Powder (standardised to 45% cholic acid derivatives)
Bile acids emulsify dietary fats and support micelle formation, helping fat and fat-soluble nutrient absorption.
Caution: Derived from bovine sources and not suitable for vegetarians or vegans; may cause loose stools if the dose is too high.
Bromelain (from pineapple)
Bromelain provides proteolytic activity that helps break down protein into peptides and amino acids in the gut.
Caution: People with pineapple allergy should avoid; may increase bruising risk if combined with blood-thinning agents.
How they work together
Animal-derived enzymes and bile components support protein and fat breakdown, while plant enzymes such as bromelain and amylase-type diastase contribute to carbohydrate and additional protein digestion. Together they cover major macronutrients to aid digestive processing across the meal.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with allergies to pineapple, papaya, barley, or mould-derived enzymes may be sensitive to bromelain, papain, diastase (barley), or cellulase (Aspergillus niger). Those with gallbladder concerns or bile duct issues may need caution with ox bile. Individuals with reflux, gastritis, or ulcers may be sensitive to betaine HCl.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
