HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Complete Digestive Blend by OL Olympian Labs, Inc. The Optimal Blend

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 6 of its 16 active ingredients.
  • “Amylase” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.
  • “HemiSeb(R)” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (366 HCU) without saying how much of each component you get.

Complete Digestive Blend contains 16 active ingredients — a blend of digestive enzymes designed to break down different components of food. Lactase helps you digest lactose (the sugar in milk).

Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins and has been studied for other uses. The rest are plant-derived and fungal enzymes: proteases break down proteins, lipase breaks down fats, and the others target carbohydrates, fiber, and other plant compounds.

The inactive ingredients are the capsule itself, rice flour, microcrystalline cellulose (a binder), silicon dioxide, and ascorbyl palmitate (a preservative).

Does it work?

Strong evidence
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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: full spectrum enzyme blend and digestive aid.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Lactose intolerance, Postoperative swelling, bloating and gas, fat digestion, indigestion.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactase is rated "Effective" for Lactose intolerance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lipase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia.
  • Also on file: Serrapeptase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Postoperative swelling.

The evidence backing these ingredients is mixed. Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance — if you can't digest milk sugar, it helps.

For serrapeptase, the data we hold shows insufficient evidence for its claimed uses, which include chronic bronchitis, asthma, atherosclerosis, back pain, and osteoporosis. The same is true for protease, lipase, and phytase — the evidence for their use as supplements isn't established in our data.

Most of these are digestive enzymes found naturally in your gut, but whether adding them as supplements works is a question your pharmacist can help you think through based on what you're looking for.

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lactase is generally well tolerated and likely safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Serrapeptase is tolerated short-term but has limited long-term safety data, and should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to insufficient data.

Protease may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions and is best avoided in pregnancy and during breastfeeding. Lipase is generally well tolerated, though people with serious digestive conditions should use it only under medical guidance, and safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding are limited.

Phytase has very limited human safety data and should be avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise; safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding is unknown. Occupational exposure to powdered forms of lactase and phytase has caused allergic reactions in workers; you're taking this orally, but if you're sensitive to enzymes, mention that to your pharmacist.

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?
  • 1 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Serrapeptase.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, clopidogrel, aspirin, etc.), check this product with your pharmacist — serrapeptase poses a moderate interaction risk. No other medication interactions are documented for the other ingredients we could check.

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 blend is a digestive enzyme supplement, most useful if you have lactose intolerance or want to try enzyme support for digestion. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medications, check with your pharmacist before starting — serrapeptase may increase bleeding risk.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Talk to your doctor first, especially about serrapeptase and phytase.

Complete Digestive Blend by OL Olympian Labs, Inc. The Optimal Blend: Common Questions

Does Complete Digestive Blend by OL Olympian Labs, Inc. The Optimal Blend interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Complete Digestive Blend has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Complete Digestive Blend contains 16 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.
Does this help with lactose intolerance?
Lactase, one of the active ingredients, is effective for lactose intolerance. If dairy upsets your stomach because you can't digest the milk sugar, lactase can help. The other enzymes in the blend are meant to support overall digestion, but lactase is the one with proven effectiveness for this.
Can I take it if I'm pregnant?
Not all ingredients have been studied in pregnancy. Lactase is likely safe, but serrapeptase and phytase should be avoided unless your doctor says otherwise. For the other enzymes, there isn't enough data to say one way or the other. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can advise you based on your specific situation.
Can I take it while breastfeeding?
Lactase is likely safe while breastfeeding. Serrapeptase and phytase should be avoided due to lack of safety data. For the other ingredients, we don't have enough information. Check with your doctor or pharmacist first to be sure.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate these enzymes well. Serrapeptase may cause epigastric pain (discomfort just below the ribs), gastrointestinal upset, or nausea, though these side effects appeared at the same rate as placebo in studies. Protease may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions. Rare serious allergic reactions have been reported with occupational exposure to enzyme powders, but that's different from taking a supplement by mouth.
Does it actually work for digestion?
The evidence isn't established in our data for most of these enzymes as supplements — we don't have reliable evidence that adding them improves digestion in people without an enzyme deficiency. Lactase is the exception: it's effective for lactose intolerance. If you have specific digestive concerns, your pharmacist can help you figure out whether this blend makes sense for you.
Is this safe if I have digestive problems like IBS or ulcers?
People with serious digestive conditions should use lipase only under medical guidance. For the others, there isn't enough data to say. If you have a digestive disorder, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this — they can make sure it won't interfere with your condition or your medications.
