HelloPharmacist Scorecard of BioCore Recovery Enzymes by GNC Pro Performance AMP
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 2 active ingredients, both proteolytic enzymes — that's a fancy way of saying they're enzymes that break down proteins. You've got Protease 4.5 and Protease 6 Concentrate, which work on the protein molecules in your digestive tract.
The inactive ingredients are rice bran and gelatin (the capsule itself).
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The facts we hold don't include effectiveness ratings for these proteolytic enzymes, so the evidence for what they do isn't established in our data. If you're considering this product for a specific reason — like post-workout recovery or digestion — that's a good question to run past your doctor or pharmacist, since they can point you to the latest research.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both enzymes are generally well tolerated for most adults, though some people report digestive upset or allergic reactions. Proteolytic enzymes show up in laundry detergents and pre-spotters, and rarely, people exposed to airborne proteolytic enzymes (like pepsin in occupational settings) have developed allergic rhinitis or asthma.
During pregnancy, safety hasn't been established — these enzymes are best avoided unless your doctor prescribes them. There's little safety data during breastfeeding, so medical advice before use is important.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
