- Ox bile: 120 mg
- Pepsin: 65 mg (NF 1:10,000)
- Bromelain: 100 mg (1:10)
- Lactase: 5 mg
How to take
Take 2 tablets once daily with a meal; enzymes are typically best taken at the start of a meal to align with digestion.
Diet / Allergen fit
Free from synthetic colors and preservatives. Free from eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame. Contains trace: milk, soy, wheat (from pepsin).
Ingredients explained
Pancreatic enzymes (amylase, protease [trypsin and chymotrypsin], lipase)
These enzymes break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into smaller molecules to aid nutrient digestion and absorption in the small intestine.
Caution: Avoid if you have pancreatitis history unless advised by a professional, as added pancreatic enzymes may not be appropriate for certain pancreatic conditions.
Ox bile
Bile acids emulsify dietary fats into tiny droplets, which may help lipase access and break down fats for absorption.
Caution: If you have gallbladder or bile duct issues, consult a professional first because added bile components may not be suitable.
Pepsin
Pepsin works in acidic conditions in the stomach to break proteins into peptides, supporting early-stage protein digestion.
Caution: Contains trace milk, soy, and wheat which matters for those avoiding these allergens.
Bromelain
Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that helps break down protein bonds, supporting protein digestion in the gastrointestinal tract.
Caution: May increase bleeding tendency when combined with blood-thinning agents due to proteolytic activity.
Lactase
Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose, which may help with digestion of dairy sugars.
Caution: If you are very sensitive to dairy, note that the formula also contains pepsin with trace milk which may matter for strict avoidance.
How they work together
Pancreatic enzymes and pepsin address protein, fat, and carbohydrate breakdown across stomach and intestinal phases, while ox bile supports fat emulsification for better lipase action. Bromelain adds additional protein-digesting activity, and lactase targets milk sugar digestion to round out broad-spectrum digestive support.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If digestive discomfort continues, stop use and speak with a physician. Not for children under 12 unless a physician recommends.
Who should be cautious: People with dairy, soy, or wheat allergies due to trace amounts in pepsin. Those with pineapple or papaya allergies due to bromelain and papain. Individuals with gallbladder issues or bile duct obstruction may need caution with ox bile. People with gastric ulcers or who are sensitive to stomach acid may need caution with betaine HCl.
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children.
