HelloPharmacist Scorecard of AFP-Peptizyde with DPP IV Activity by Houston Enzymes
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
Full disclosure
This product contains 3 active ingredients: two proteolytic enzymes (Protease 4.5 and Protease 6), a peptidase blend, and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV. These are all digestive enzymes meant to help break down proteins in your food.
The inactive ingredients are a vegetable capsule and rice bran.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
We don't hold effectiveness ratings for any of the active ingredients in this product, so the evidence for how well it works isn't established in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
The protease enzymes are generally well tolerated by most adults, though some people report digestive upset or allergic reactions. Rarely, people exposed to airborne proteolytic enzymes occupationally have developed allergic rhinoconjunctivitis or asthma.
During pregnancy, safety hasn't been established, so it's best avoided unless your doctor prescribes it. Breastfeeding safety data is limited, so medical advice is recommended before use.
We don't have safety information on file for Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. However, we don't hold interaction data for Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV, so if you're on any prescription medications—especially blood thinners or diabetes drugs—ask your pharmacist to review this product with your medication list.
