HelloPharmacist Scorecard of A.I. Enzymes by Pure Encapsulations

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

A.I. Enzymes contains 6 active digestive enzymes: amylase (breaks down carbohydrates), lipase (breaks down fats), protease (breaks down proteins), rutin (a plant compound), papain (from papaya), and bromelain (from pineapple).

These are meant to support digestion. The capsules also contain cellulose and water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence on these ingredients is sparse. For lipase, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works for inflammatory bowel disease, indigestion, or prematurity.

Protease, rutin, papain, and bromelain all show insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions they're studied in — aging skin, diabetes, muscle soreness, infections, and others. We don't have effectiveness data on amylase.

In short, the science backing these ingredients for specific health claims isn't established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lipase Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Rutin Papain Bromelain

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Most of these enzymes are generally well tolerated in the short term. Lipase and bromelain are well tolerated orally, though bromelain may cause diarrhea, gas, stomach upset, or headache in some people.

Papain may trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals (itchy eyes, runny nose, stomach cramps, diarrhea) or, rarely at high doses, severe stomach inflammation or esophageal injury. Protease can cause digestive upset or allergic reactions.

Rutin may cause headache, flushing, or rashes in some people. Long-term safety data on several of these ingredients is limited.

Pregnancy safety varies: rutin is likely safe in pregnancy, but papain should be avoided, bromelain should be avoided, protease is best avoided, and lipase has insufficient data so use only if your doctor advises it. Breastfeeding safety is uncertain for most — check with your healthcare provider first.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lipase Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Rutin Papain Bromelain

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Papain, Rutin, Bromelain.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 227 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check before taking this if you're on warfarin or other blood thinners (anticoagulants) — papain and bromelain may increase bleeding risk (moderate severity). If you take diabetes or blood sugar medications, rutin may raise the risk of low blood sugar (moderate).

Tetracycline antibiotics may theoretically have their levels raised by bromelain, though human evidence is mixed (minor).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is a blend of digestive enzymes, but the evidence that they work for specific conditions isn't established. If you take blood thinners, blood sugar medications, or tetracycline antibiotics, check your exact drugs with our tool first — there are documented interactions.

If you have a serious digestive condition or are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Bromelain2 drug types · 141 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Bromelain may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
There is one case report of a patient experiencing minor bruising while taking bromelain with naproxen. Bromelain is thought to have antiplatelet activity. Whether this interaction is of concern with topical bromelain is unclear. Interference with coagulation of burn wounds has been reported in a patient receiving bromelain-based enzymatic debridement. However, observational research has found that topical bromelain debridement is not associated with increases or decreases in laboratory markers of coagulation when compared with surgical debridement.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, bromelain might increase levels of tetracycline antibiotics.
Laboratory research suggests that bromelain might increase the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. However, a study in healthy adults reported no difference in tetracycline plasma levels when a 500 mg dose was taken with or without bromelain 80 mg.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Bromelain full monograph & interactions

Rutin1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking rutin with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that rutin has hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Rutin full monograph & interactions

Papain1 drug type · 2 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, papain might increase the effects and side effects of warfarin.
In one case report, a patient previously stable on warfarin was found to have an international normalization ratio (INR) of 7.4, which was attributed to ingestion of a supplement containing papain from papaya extract.

A.I. Enzymes by Pure Encapsulations: Common Questions

Does A.I. Enzymes by Pure Encapsulations interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, A.I. Enzymes has a known interaction with 227 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
A.I. Enzymes contains 6 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. Papain in this product may increase warfarin's effects and your bleeding risk — one case report documented dangerous blood-thinning levels. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to review your exact situation.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
It depends on which ingredient you're concerned about. Rutin is likely safe, but papain should be avoided and bromelain should be avoided. Lipase and protease don't have enough safety data in pregnancy, so talk with your doctor before using this if you're pregnant.
What are these enzymes actually for?
They're meant to support digestion — amylase breaks down carbs, lipase breaks down fats, and protease breaks down proteins. Papain and bromelain are plant enzymes with similar roles. Rutin is a plant compound included in the blend.
Will this help my digestion?
The evidence isn't established in our data. We don't have reliable evidence that these ingredients work for indigestion or other digestive conditions at supplement doses.
Are there any common side effects?
Bromelain may cause diarrhea, gas, stomach upset, or headache. Papain may trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people. Rutin may cause headache, flushing, or rashes. Most people tolerate these enzymes without problems, but talk to your pharmacist if you experience digestive upset.
Is this safe while breastfeeding?
Safety data is limited or unknown for most of these ingredients during breastfeeding. Lipase, protease, papain, and bromelain all lack enough evidence, so check with your healthcare provider before using it.
