I was reassured to find out that these digestive enzymes are associated with the renowned Microbiome Labs, world leaders in all things to do with the microbiome. The capsules contain decent amounts of the "big 3", ie protease, amylase and lipase. But they also contain several lesser known enzymes. I am pleased to see the inclusion of Xylanase, in a generous amount too. Xylanase is important in breaking down fibre-rich foods, and also works to stimulate other enzymes to work together to extract maximum nutrition from food. The inclusion of Xylanase and other factors in this product marks it out as a superior digestive enzyme. So although it's by no means the cheapest offering out there, with this one you can be assured of a product that really does the job.

Why I like this product:Provides a potent, Non-GMO broad-range vegan enzyme blend, to assist the breakdown of a wide range of protein, fats, and carbohydrates found in potentially troublesome foods. These include gluten, fatty foods, starches, egg, soy, lactose, and milk proteins (whey, casein).Enzymes are responsible for the break down of food. Digestive enzymes can help harness the full nutritional value of what we consume by promoting optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.Because of our hectic lifestyle, and the way we often consume food that is frequently overcooked, digestion can often be less than optimal. Digestive Enzymes break down our food for better absorption. Digestive Enzymes secreted along the digestive tract help break food down into nutrients and waste. This allows nutrients to be absorbed into the blood stream and the waste to be discarded.We’re intended to consume whole foods that are rich in digestive enzymes. In their natural, unadulterated state, raw foods contain enzymes that facilitate healthy digestion. Ideally, these enzymes mix with our saliva through the process of chewing and begin pre-digesting our food. Realistically though, whole, raw foods are just a small portion of many people’s diets today. Processed foods contain little to no enzymes, so many of us aren’t getting the extra digestive enzyme help we need from our diet.Alpha-galactosidase (legumes / flatulence, oedema)Xylanase helps to digest the cell walls of vegetables and is especially useful when increasing the amount of vegetables in the diet.Alpha-galactosidase very helpful with raw vegetables and legumes (beans, etc.).Peptidase helps to digest grains and milk proteins.Lactase helps breaks down lactose (milk sugar).Glucoamylase breaks long-chain carbohydrates (starches) into glucose.Invertase helps break down sucrose (“table sugar”) into glucose and fructose.Maltase breaks down dietary maltose into glucose.Phytase breaks down phytic acid in grains and seeds, which is an antinutrient so will help improve the bioavailability of minerals and micronutrientsDigestion is a metabolically and biologically expensive process under the best of circumstances, and the bottom line is that the more support you give to your digestive system, the more efficient it will be. This helps the body by freeing up metabolic energy for other uses. I take 1 capsule with largest meal and notice digestion enhanced when taking an enzyme supplement.Highly recommend for anyone following a wholefoods diet.Hope you found this helpful.

Very good quality tablets that are easy to swallow. Very good for providing a vast range of nutrients needed in a vegan diet

Excellent results from this digestive enzyme. The tablets are small and easy to take. This product works very well and I am happy to recommend it.

A decent product, which has performed incredibly well and been so useful for us. Sturdy, reliable and much better quality than we expected. As with most things, you can't tell from purchasing online exactly what you will get - but this has been a welcome purchase and one we are delighted with. It performs as well as other similar items used previously - and at a reasonable price point.We love!Well made, well presented, great packaging that is not too excessive, and of course great quality and value - highly recommended by us.

I had high hopes for these but they didn't perform in line with my expectations and cost around £6 more than my regular brand so I don't feel these offer value for money when there are more effective alternatives available on Amazon for less.

These came in a small tub with a good expiry date. Small capsules, easy to swallow with no aftertaste.The description on here says to take 1 capsule daily. However on the tub the instuctions say to take 1 capsule with each meal. If you eat 3 meals a day they'll only last 10 days so it makes them very pricey and not good value for money. Better value options are out there if you need to take one with every meal.I take one a day only with my main meal and they work well and have caused no issues, and they'll last a month which is much better value.

This maybe isn't the cheapest supplement but the comprehensive mix of ingredients is good quality and better than most similar supplements I have looked at. The capsules are typical size and easy enough to swallow. I appreciate the fact it is suitable for vegans with a vegetarian capsule. You are getting 30 here and if you stick to the recommended serving size of one then they will last you around a month. You get a decent expiry date so more than enough time to use this supplement up. Certainly one to consider for your digestive health.
