HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief by ProCaps Laboratories

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

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 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief contains four active ingredients. Papain is an enzyme from papaya that breaks down protein.

Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme from pineapple. The product also includes an Alpha Enzyme Complex and a Legume Enzyme Complex (derived from calabar bean).

These are designed to help your digestive system handle gases from beans and vegetables. The capsule itself is made from gelatin.

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: reduce gas from beans and vegetables.
  • We looked for evidence on: Gas and bloating, Intestinal gas, Flatulence, Digestive discomfort.
  • The closest evidence on file: Papain is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Intestinal parasite infection (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for these ingredients isn't established in our data. Papain's effectiveness ratings show insufficient reliable evidence for cancer, dental cavities, radiation skin damage, exercise soreness, shingles, and parasitic infections.

Bromelain similarly lacks sufficient evidence for hay fever, burns, cancer, nerve damage from chemotherapy, poor circulation, and diabetes. No effectiveness ratings are on file for Alpha Enzyme Complex or calabar bean for gas relief specifically.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Papain Bromelain Calabar Bean

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.

At normal doses, papain and bromelain are generally well tolerated short-term. Papain may irritate your digestive tract or trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people — symptoms include itchy watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, cramping, sweating, or diarrhea.

High doses of papain can rarely cause severe stomach inflammation or even perforation. Bromelain's most common side effects are diarrhea, bloating, stomach upset, and headache.

Both can cause allergic reactions. Calabar bean is toxic and should not be used — it can cause serious effects including paralysis, coma, and death, and is unsafe in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Papain is possibly unsafe in pregnancy and lacks safety data for breastfeeding. Bromelain should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding because safety data don't exist.

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 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Calabar Bean, Papain, Bromelain.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 333 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.

Double-check your medications before using this product, especially blood thinners like warfarin and other anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate severity). If you take tetracycline antibiotics or anticholinergic drugs, mention those too.

The calabar bean in this product is toxic and makes the overall safety profile a serious concern — discuss with your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product contains potent enzymes and a toxic ingredient (calabar bean) with serious safety and interaction concerns. Do not use it if you take warfarin or other blood thinners, or anticholinergic drugs.

Even if you're not on those medications, the calabar bean component makes this product unsafe — talk to your pharmacist before considering it.

Formula

Natural enzyme complex

Beans Nuts Seeds Legumes Soy Cruciferous vegetables Fruit

All of us are different, but we each know the foods that can cause us gas and discomfort. Scientists have identified molecular sources of gas in these foods, and Bean and Vegetable Gas Relief targets those sources and provides natural digestive relief. Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief contains a unique blend of special enzyme complexes to break down these offending gas-producing molecules and make these healthy foods less unpleasant by helping to prevent the gas, bloating and discomfort. In addition to these important enzymes, Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief contains papain and bromelain to help support the digestion of proteins as well. Many people have difficulty enjoying some of the foods they love, but the mild, yet powerful natural enzymes in Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief are designed to return the health and pleasure of eating these foods without embarrassment and discomfort.

FDA Statement of Identity

Dietary Supplement

Formulation

All-solar manufacturing

Andrew Lessman's Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief is a mild, natural, food supplement designed to gently and effectively support and enhance your body's natural digestion of gas-causing foods. Sadly, many of the healthiest foods, such as beans, cruciferous vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains and soy, contain complex molecules that can be difficult for the body to digest, causing gas, bloating and discomfort. The resulting gastrointestinal discomfort and gas discourages us from eating these otherwise extremely healthy foods.

Contains no milk, soy, yeast, wheat, gluten, sodium, salt, sugar, fat, cholesterol, color, preservative, common allergens or manufacturing additives. Contains no additives of any kind.

Legume Enzyme Complex1 drug type · 195 drugs

Anticholinergic Drugs

Theoretically, taking calabar bean might reduce the effects of anticholinergic drugs.
Physostigmine, a constituent of calabar bean, reverses the effects of belladonna and other drugs with anticholinergic activity.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Legume Enzyme Complex full monograph & interactions

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

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.

Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief by ProCaps Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief by ProCaps Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief has a known interaction with 333 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bean & Vegetable Gas Relief contains 4 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.
Is this safe to use if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Papain is possibly unsafe in pregnancy, and there isn't enough safety data for bromelain in pregnancy or breastfeeding — avoid both. Calabar bean (in the Legume Enzyme Complex) is unsafe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before considering any herbal supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
What are the main side effects I should watch for?
Bromelain commonly causes diarrhea, gas, stomach upset, and headache. Papain may cause allergic reactions — itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, cramping, or diarrhea — especially in people sensitive to it. High doses of papain can rarely cause severe stomach inflammation. Calabar bean can trigger a life-threatening condition called cholinergic crisis, with symptoms like muscle weakness, slow heart rate, confusion, and paralysis.
Does this actually help with gas from beans and vegetables?
The evidence for these ingredients isn't established in our data. We don't have effectiveness ratings showing they work for gas relief specifically.
Why is calabar bean in a gas-relief supplement?
Calabar bean is listed as part of the Legume Enzyme Complex. However, the safety data shows it's toxic and can cause serious harm, including paralysis, coma, and death — even at doses that might be found in supplements.
Can I use this with my other medications?
Only if your doctor or pharmacist confirms it's safe. This product has documented interactions with blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, tetracycline antibiotics, and anticholinergic medications. Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications before starting it.
