HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Adult Enzyme Blend by Flora Udo's Choice

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend (Non-Nutrient/Non-Botanical)” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (248 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This blend contains 7 active enzymes designed to help break down food during digestion. Protease 4.5 and Protease 6 break down proteins; Lipase (listed as Triacylglycerol Lipase) breaks down fats; Amylase handles carbohydrates; Cellulase breaks down plant fiber; Alpha-Galactosidase helps break down complex sugars; and Bromelain is an enzyme derived from pineapple that also has protein-digesting activity.

The capsule itself and the inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, maltodextrin, and the vegetarian capsule material — are fillers and binders that help deliver the active enzymes.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: aid digestion and maximize nutrient absorption.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Postoperative swelling, Rhinosinusitis, Wound healing, bloating — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lipase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bromelain is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Rhinosinusitis, Wound healing, Postoperative swelling.

The evidence on these enzymes for their intended use isn't established in our data. Lipase has been studied for inflammatory bowel disease, indigestion (dyspepsia), and prematurity, but the evidence is insufficient to rate it.

Bromelain has been studied for hay fever, burns, cancer-related nerve damage, chronic venous insufficiency, and diabetes, but again, the evidence doesn't support a clear rating either way. The other enzymes in this blend don't have effectiveness ratings in our files.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Lipase 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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Protease 4.5 and Protease 6 are generally well tolerated but may cause digestive upset or, rarely, allergic reactions — occupational exposure to airborne protease has triggered asthma and allergic rhinitis in some cases. Lipase is generally well tolerated in supplement form, though people with serious digestive conditions should use it only under medical guidance.

Bromelain is generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data is limited. Orally, it most commonly causes diarrhea, flatulence, stomach upset, and headache; it can also trigger IgE-mediated allergic reactions, and if inhaled, may cause asthma and throat symptoms.

During pregnancy, bromelain is best avoided — safety data is insufficient. Safety data on Protease 4.5, Protease 6, and Lipase during pregnancy is also limited; use only if your doctor advises it.

During breastfeeding, there is little safety data for any of these enzymes; talk with your healthcare provider before using this product.

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?
  • 1 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bromelain.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 141 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 your exact medications if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel, or aspirin) — bromelain in this blend may increase your bleeding risk (Moderate severity). Also double-check if you're on a tetracycline antibiotic such as doxycycline or minocycline, though the risk is Minor.

No interactions are documented for the other ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This enzyme blend is generally well tolerated for digestive support, but if you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or tetracycline antibiotics, you'll want to check with us or your pharmacist first. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should talk with their doctor before starting, since safety data is limited.

Run your medications through our interaction checker before you begin.

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.

Does Adult Enzyme Blend by Flora Udo's Choice interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Adult Enzyme Blend has a known interaction with 141 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Adult Enzyme Blend contains 7 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.
What does each enzyme in this blend do?
Protease enzymes break down proteins into smaller pieces; Lipase breaks down fats; Amylase handles carbohydrates; Cellulase breaks down plant fiber; Alpha-Galactosidase helps with complex sugars; and Bromelain from pineapple also digests proteins. Together, they're meant to help your digestive system process a variety of foods.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin or another blood thinner?
Bromelain, one of the enzymes in this blend, may increase bleeding risk with blood thinners. You'll need to check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting — don't add it on your own.
Is it safe to use while I'm pregnant?
Safety data for these enzymes in pregnancy is limited. Bromelain is best avoided unless your doctor prescribes it, and the other enzymes also have insufficient data. Talk with your healthcare provider before using this product during pregnancy.
What are the most common side effects?
Bromelain most commonly causes diarrhea, flatulence, stomach upset, and headache when taken orally. The proteases and lipase may cause digestive upset. Rarely, allergic reactions can occur.
Does this product contain fillers?
Yes — it contains microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and maltodextrin as inactive ingredients to help form and deliver the capsule. These are standard excipients in supplements.
Can I take this with tetracycline antibiotics like doxycycline?
Bromelain may theoretically increase how much tetracycline your body absorbs, though a human study found no actual change in blood levels. It's a Minor interaction, but check with your pharmacist to be sure, since absorption can vary.
