HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Advanced 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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This blend contains 18 ingredients, most of them digestive enzymes. The active components include bromelain (from pineapple), lipase (breaks down fats), lactase (breaks down milk sugar), and several proteolytic enzymes—proteases that break down proteins.
You'll also find phytase and other carbohydrate-digesting enzymes like diastase and glucoamylase. The remaining ingredients are inactive—microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, maltodextrin, water, and the capsule material hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Evidence for this product's effectiveness is limited. Bromelain alone has insufficient reliable evidence for conditions like hay fever, burns, chronic venous insufficiency, and diabetes.
Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance—that's well established. For the other ingredients—lipase, phytase, and the proteases—the data we hold either shows insufficient evidence or no effectiveness ratings at all.
If you're considering this for a specific digestive or health concern, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the research actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Bromelain is generally well tolerated short-term, though long-term safety data are sparse. It may cause diarrhea, flatulence, stomach upset, or headache.
Allergic reactions (including asthma and throat itching) can occur, especially if you inhale the powder. Lipase and lactase are generally well tolerated; no adverse effects have been reported for lipase in adults.
The proteolytic enzymes may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people. Phytase has limited human supplement safety data, though occupational exposure to airborne phytase has triggered allergic asthma and hypersensitivity reactions in animal-feed workers.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel, double-check with your pharmacist—bromelain may increase bleeding risk (Moderate severity). Also verify if you're on a tetracycline antibiotic, since bromelain may affect how your body handles it (Minor severity).
For any other prescription medication, run it through the checker on this page to be sure.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This enzyme blend is reasonable for digestive support if you're not on blood thinners or tetracycline antibiotics. If you take warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or a tetracycline antibiotic, check with us first—the interaction risk is real.
Bromelain isn't recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding; safety data for several other ingredients during pregnancy and nursing are thin or missing. Talk to your pharmacist about whether this fits your health picture.

Formula
Udo's Choice Advanced Adult Enzyme Blend was formulated for people seeking extra digestive support - especially individuals 65 years or older. This is because our ability to digest food and absorb nutrients decreases with age.
Formulation
This full-spectrum vegetarian enzyme blend is our most potent formula to aid in the healthy digestion of fats, proteins, soluble fiber, and carbohydrates - even the milk sugars and proteins found in dairy products.
This blend also helps maximize the absorption of important nutrients such as calcium.

Advanced Adult Enzyme Blend by Flora Udo's Choice Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Advanced Adult Enzyme Blend by Flora Udo's Choice has documented interactions with blood thinners and antibiotics, centered on its bromelain content.
Bromelain may increase bleeding risk if you're taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel)—this is a Moderate-severity concern. There's also one case report of minor bruising when bromelain was combined with naproxen.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Bromelain may theoretically increase tetracycline antibiotic levels, though a human study found no difference in blood levels. This is rated Minor.
Lipase, lactase, phytase, and the proteolytic enzymes (proteases) in this blend have no interactions documented in our data. We could not check amylase, cellulase, peptidase, invertase, glucoamylase, beta-glucanase, hemicellulase, diastase, or alpha-galactosidase—we hold no monographs for those.
Altogether, these interactions span 141 individual medications. If you take any blood thinners or tetracycline antibiotics, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting.

For each ingredient in Advanced Adult Enzyme Blend with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Bromelain
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.
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.
