Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place.

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Daily Digestive Enzyme by Nature's Answer
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
Daily Digestive Enzyme is a blend of 8 active digestive enzymes designed to help break down food. The product contains lipase (which breaks down fats), lactase (which breaks down milk sugar), acid protease (a protein-digesting enzyme), and hemicellulase, cellulase, amyloglucosidase, alpha-amylase, and a plant-based pancreatin analog—all meant to aid in carbohydrate and fiber digestion.
The capsule also includes inactive ingredients like vegetable cellulose, rice flour, calcium silicate, and Quik-Sorb as binders and fillers.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence on these enzymes is limited. Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance—if you have trouble digesting milk, this ingredient can help.
For the others—lipase, acid protease, and the remaining enzymes—there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say whether they work for digestive upset, inflammatory bowel disease, or other digestive complaints. That doesn't mean they don't; it means the research hasn't firmly established it yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lipase and lactase are generally well tolerated when used as directed. Acid protease is also generally well tolerated for most adults, though it may occasionally cause digestive upset or allergic reactions.
A rare allergic reaction to lactase itself has been reported in occupational settings; allergic reactions to proteolytic enzymes (like acid protease) from airborne exposure are also rare but documented. For pregnancy, lipase and acid protease have not been well studied—talk with your doctor before use.
Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy. For breastfeeding, safety data is limited for lipase and acid protease; check with your healthcare provider first.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Still, run your exact medications through the tool below—we couldn't verify cellulase, hemicellulase, amyloglucosidase, alpha-amylase, or the vegetal pancreatin analog.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may help if you have lactose intolerance or want digestive enzyme support, though the evidence for most of these enzymes isn't solid yet. If you have serious digestive conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, use it only under medical guidance.
