Ingredients explained
Pancreatin (amylase, protease, lipase)
Pancreatic enzymes help break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats into smaller molecules to aid absorption in the small intestine.
Caution: Sourced from animal pancreas; avoid if you follow strict vegetarian or vegan diets or have sensitivities to pancreatic products.
Pepsin
Pepsin works in the acidic environment of the stomach to cleave protein into smaller peptides for easier digestion.
Caution: Best taken with meals; those with stomach irritation may prefer to start with food to reduce discomfort.
Betaine HCl
Betaine hydrochloride increases gastric acidity, which may help activate pepsin and improve initial breakdown of proteins.
Caution: May feel strong if you are sensitive to acid; avoid on an empty stomach and discontinue if you experience burning or reflux‑like discomfort.
Ox bile extract (min. 45% total cholic acids)
Bile acids emulsify dietary fats to form micelles, which supports fat digestion and absorption of fat‑soluble nutrients.
Caution: Derived from bovine sources; those avoiding animal products or with gallbladder concerns should use caution and consult a professional if unsure.
Papain and Bromelain
These plant proteases cleave peptide bonds in proteins, complementing gastric and pancreatic protein digestion.
Caution: Avoid if allergic to papaya or pineapple; may interact with blood thinners, so monitor for easy bruising.
How they work together
Acid support from betaine HCl helps activate pepsin for early protein breakdown in the stomach, while pepsin, papain and bromelain continue protein digestion. Pancreatin supports digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in the intestine, and ox bile aids fat emulsification to facilitate absorption.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking any medicines (especially blood thinners), or if you have a medical condition, including papaya or pineapple allergy.
Who should be cautious: People with known allergies to papaya, pineapple, or sulphites. Those with gallbladder issues or on blood thinners may need extra caution due to ox bile and bromelain. Discuss with a healthcare provider before use if combining with anticoagulant medicines.
Storage: Once opened, store in a cool, dry place.
