Key actives per serving
- Protease (from pancreatin): 150,000 USP units per serving (within 600 mg pancreatin)
- Papain: 720,000 USP units per serving (360 mg)
- Bromelain: 270 mg (2400 GDU/g)
- Trypsin: 150 mg (75 USP units/mg)
- Chymotrypsin: 6 mg (75 USP units/mg)
How to take
Take 2 to 3 tablets between meals, two times daily, preferably on an empty stomach; avoid taking with protein-rich meals so enzymes are available for systemic activity.
Diet / Allergen fit
Made in a GMP facility that processes: egg, fish, milk, peanut, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
Ingredients explained
Protease (from pancreatin)
Proteases break peptide bonds to help break down circulating protein fragments so they can be cleared by the body.
Caution: Take away from meals for systemic use, since taking with food may shift activity toward digesting meal proteins instead of circulating proteins.
Papain
Papain is a cysteine protease that cleaves proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Caution: Those with latex or papaya sensitivities should use caution because papain is derived from papaya.
Bromelain
Bromelain is a pineapple-derived protease that breaks down protein substrates and may influence inflammatory signaling enzymes.
Caution: Use caution if you have pineapple sensitivity or are taking blood-thinning products due to potential effects on platelet activity.
Trypsin
Trypsin is a serine protease that cleaves peptide bonds after lysine or arginine, aiding breakdown of protein complexes in circulation.
Caution: Best taken between meals so it is not used up digesting dietary protein.
Chymotrypsin
Chymotrypsin is a serine protease that preferentially cleaves after aromatic amino acids, contributing to systemic protein breakdown.
Caution: Avoid use during pregnancy or lactation as safety data are limited.
How they work together
Multiple proteases with different cleavage preferences (serine and cysteine proteases) work across a broad range of peptide bonds, enhancing overall protein breakdown. Plant-derived enzymes (bromelain, papain) complement animal-derived pancreatic enzymes (protease, trypsin, chymotrypsin), covering varied pH ranges and substrate types for more complete systemic enzyme activity.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Not for use by pregnant or lactating women.
Who should be cautious: People with pineapple, papaya, or anise/fennel allergies may be sensitive to bromelain, papain, or anise/fennel in this product. Individuals with bleeding concerns or on blood-thinning medications should use caution with proteolytic enzymes and consult a healthcare provider before use.
