Support healthy digestion of protein and peptides
LipaseSupports healthy digestion of fats


  • α-galactosidase

    breaks down complex carbohydrates from beans and other legumes

  • Alpha Amylases

    Additional support in the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugars.

  • Beta-Glucanase

    Breaks down beta-glucans from grains like barley and oats, aiding in their digestion.

  • Cellulase

    supports the digestion of cellulose found in f plant foods like fruits, vegetables, and nuts.

  • Lipase

    Supports fat absorption to reduce fish oil burps.

  • Galactomannase

    breaks down galactomannans found in beans and seeds

  • Glucoamylase

    converts complex sugars like maltose into glucose to support healthy blood sugar levels.

  • HemiSEB®

    complex blend of hemicellulases to support the digestion of complex carbohydrates.

  • Invertase

    converts sucrose, a sugar naturally produced by plants, into glucose and fructose.

  • Lactase

    The enzyme that breaks down lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products, to support individuals with lactose intolerance.

  • Proteases (High DPP)

    breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. This is a Protease/Peptidase Complex with endopeptidase, exopeptidase and DPP-IV activity

  • Phytase (High DPP)

    breaks down phytic acid, from seeds, supporting the absorption of minerals like iron and zinc.

  • Acid Proteases

    Enzymes that function in acidic environments, such as your stomach, aiding in protein digestion.

  • Alkaline Proteases

    Enzymes that function in alkaline environments, also aiding in protein digestion.

  • Pullulanase

    breaks down pullulan, a type of polysaccharide found in starch.

  • Fungal Maltase

    breaks down maltose into the simple sugar glucose.

  • Peptizyme®SP

     aprotease enzyme that specifically targets peptides, aiding in protein digestion.
