Digestive support for proteins, fats, and carbohydrates

Who it may fit

Adults who want support digesting meals that include protein, fats, and starches, or those with busy lifestyles who eat on the go and want help breaking down diverse foods.

Key actives per serving

• Bromelain: 200,000 FCCPU
• Papain: 100,000 FCCPU
• Amylase: 12440 DU
• Lipase: 600 FIP
• Betaine HCl: 50 mg

How to take

Adults take 1 capsule a few minutes before eating, up to 2 capsules per day; taking with the first bites of a meal can be practical, and enzyme products are typically better tolerated with food.

Bromelain

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks peptide bonds in dietary proteins to help reduce large protein molecules into smaller peptides and amino acids.

Caution: Use caution if you have a pineapple allergy or are sensitive to proteolytic enzymes, as it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Papain

Papain is a cysteine protease that cleaves protein chains, supporting the breakdown of complex proteins into smaller, absorbable fragments.

Caution: Those with papaya allergy should avoid it, and high enzyme activity may cause mild stomach upset in some people.

Amylase

Amylase catalyzes the breakdown of starches into simpler sugars for easier digestion and absorption.

Caution: May cause bloating or gas if taken on an empty stomach in sensitive individuals; take as directed with meals.

Lipase

Lipase hydrolyzes dietary triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol to support fat digestion.

Caution: Taking with a meal containing fat may be more comfortable; those with fat malabsorption should consult a healthcare professional.

Betaine HCl

Betaine hydrochloride provides an acidic environment in the stomach, which may help activate protein-digesting enzymes and support breakdown of foods.

Caution: Do not take on an empty stomach if prone to heartburn, and avoid if you have ulcers or acid-sensitive conditions unless advised by a professional.

How they work together

Proteases like bromelain and papain act across a range of pH to break proteins into smaller peptides, while amylase targets starches and lipase works on fats to cover the major macronutrients. Betaine HCl increases gastric acidity, which may enhance initial protein digestion and support overall enzyme activity in the stomach.

Label Warning: Consult a doctor before using this dietary supplement.

Who should be cautious: People with known allergies to pineapple or papaya may be sensitive to bromelain or papain. Those with gallbladder concerns or on anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications may need caution with turmeric, ginger, or black pepper. Individuals with acid-sensitive conditions like reflux or ulcers may be sensitive to betaine HCl. If you use medications or have health conditions, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
