Key actives per serving
- Pancreatin 4x (protease, amylase, lipase): 250 mg
- Ox Bile Powder (standardized to 45% cholic acid derivatives): 150 mg
- Diastase (from barley malt): 80 mg
- Papain (from Carica papaya): 30 mg
- Bromelain (2,400 GDU/gram) (from pineapple): 10 mg
How to take
Take 1 tablet three times daily with food and water; taking with meals helps the enzymes act on the food you eat.
Diet / Allergen fit
Contains animal-derived ingredients (pancreatin, ox bile). Derived from barley malt and pineapple; avoid if sensitive to barley or pineapple.
Ingredients explained
Pancreatin 4x (protease, amylase, lipase)
Protease, amylase, and lipase break down proteins into peptides and amino acids, starches into sugars, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol to aid digestive processing.
Caution: Sourced from animal pancreas; avoid if you have allergies to pork-derived products or follow dietary restrictions that exclude animal enzymes.
Ox Bile Powder (standardized to 45% cholic acid derivatives)
Bile acids emulsify dietary fats into smaller droplets, which may help lipase access and break down fats for absorption.
Caution: Animal-derived; may not fit vegetarian or certain religious diets and can cause digestive discomfort if sensitive to bile salts.
Diastase (from barley malt)
Diastase is an amylase that breaks complex carbohydrates like starch into simpler sugars for easier digestion.
Caution: Derived from barley; avoid if you have barley sensitivity or need to avoid gluten-containing sources.
Papain (from Carica papaya)
Papain is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks peptide bonds in proteins to help reduce large proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Caution: Avoid if you have latex or papaya allergies due to potential cross-reactivity and risk of allergic reactions.
Bromelain (2,400 GDU/gram) (from pineapple)
Bromelain is a protease that helps cleave protein bonds, aiding protein breakdown in the stomach and small intestine.
Caution: Avoid if allergic to pineapple; may increase sensitivity in people prone to gastrointestinal irritation.
How they work together
Animal-based pancreatin and ox bile work on fats, proteins, and carbohydrates while enhancing fat emulsification, which supports fat digestion. Plant enzymes like diastase, papain, and bromelain add carbohydrate and protein breakdown across a broader pH range for coverage throughout the digestive tract.
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, papaya, or barley may be sensitive to bromelain, papain, or diastase. Those with gallbladder issues or bile duct obstruction may need caution with ox bile. Individuals with ulcers or reflux may be sensitive to betaine HCl. If you take any medications, discuss use with a healthcare provider first.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
