AI overview
AI generated. Not medical advice.What it's for
Digestive health; Protein, carbohydrate and fat breakdown; Nutrient absorption support
Who it may fit
Adults who want broad-spectrum digestive support with mixed meals and those whose diets vary in fat and protein content.
Key actives per serving
- Protease (from pancreatin): part of Pancreatin 4x (protease, amylase, lipase) 250 mg
- Amylase (from pancreatin): part of Pancreatin 4x (protease, amylase, lipase) 250 mg
- Lipase (from pancreatin): part of Pancreatin 4x (protease, amylase, lipase) 250 mg
- Ox bile (standardised to 45% cholic acid): 150 mg
- Bromelain (from pineapple): 10 mg (2,400 GDU/gram)
How to take
Take 1 tablet three times daily with food and water; taking enzymes at the start of a meal may support comfort, and fat-containing meals may particularly benefit from lipase and bile components.
Diet / Allergen fit
Contains animal-derived ingredients: pancreatin (porcine source likely) and bovine ox bile. Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Ingredients explained
Protease (from pancreatin)
Proteases break peptide bonds in dietary proteins, producing smaller peptides and amino acids for easier absorption.
Caution: Derived from animal sources; avoid if you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet or have sensitivities to pork-derived ingredients.
Amylase (from pancreatin)
Amylase breaks down starches into smaller sugars to aid carbohydrate digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
Caution: Animal-derived; those avoiding animal products or with specific dietary restrictions may wish to note the source.
Lipase (from pancreatin)
Lipase hydrolyses dietary fats into free fatty acids and glycerol to support fat digestion and absorption.
Caution: Fat-digesting enzymes may be better tolerated with meals containing fat to reduce digestive discomfort.
Ox bile (standardised to 45% cholic acid)
Bile acids emulsify dietary fats, increasing their surface area for lipase action and supporting micelle formation for absorption.
Caution: Bovine-derived; not suitable for vegetarians or vegans and those avoiding bovine products.
Bromelain (from pineapple)
Bromelain is a cysteine protease that helps break down proteins into peptides and amino acids in the digestive tract.
Caution: Avoid if allergic to pineapple; proteolytic activity may cause mild gastric irritation on an empty stomach.
How they work together
Animal-derived pancreatic enzymes cover protein, carbohydrate and fat breakdown, while ox bile supports fat emulsification to aid lipase activity. Plant proteases such as bromelain add additional protein-digesting capacity, complementing the pancreatic protease mix for broad-spectrum digestion.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with allergies to pineapple, papaya, barley, or moulds may be sensitive, as the product contains bromelain, papain, diastase from barley malt, and cellulase from Aspergillus niger. Those with gallbladder concerns or bile duct issues may wish to seek advice due to ox bile content.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
