HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Candidase by Enzymedica

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 2 active ingredients.

Candidase contains two active ingredients: protease and cellulase. Protease is a digestive enzyme that breaks down protein; cellulase breaks down cellulose (fiber) in plant foods.

The capsule itself is vegetarian.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) product and its label doesn't state a use — see Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases)'s own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The effectiveness data for these ingredients isn't established in the information we hold. There aren't ratings on file for either protease or cellulase in this product, so we can't tell you whether Candidase is proven to work for any particular purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases)

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Protease is generally well tolerated, though some people report digestive upset or allergic reactions. Rarely, protease can trigger an allergic response in people with sensitivity to it — occupational exposure to similar enzymes has caused allergic rhinitis or asthma in some cases.

During pregnancy, the safety data advises against using protease unless your doctor prescribes it. There isn't enough safety data during breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing.

We don't have safety information on file for cellulase.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases)

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check in Candidase. Cellulase couldn't be checked because we don't hold data for it — but that's not a green light to assume none exist.

If you're on any medications, it's still worth running them through the search tool on this page or mentioning the supplement to your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Candidase is a two-ingredient digestive enzyme supplement with no documented drug interactions. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.
