HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digest Assure 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 23, 2026

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 7 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Digestive Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (453 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Digest Assure contains seven active ingredients—all digestive enzymes designed to help break down food. Amylase breaks down carbohydrates; protease breaks down proteins; lipase breaks down fats; lactase breaks down the milk sugar lactose; cellulase breaks down plant fiber; papain (from papaya) is a protein-digesting enzyme; and bromelain (from pineapple) is another protein-digesting enzyme.

The product also contains a proprietary digestive enzyme blend, whose individual components are listed separately. The capsule itself is made from gelatin.

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: break down macronutrients for absorption and digestion.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Lactose intolerance, indigestion, bloating, pancreatic insufficiency.
  • 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.

The evidence on these enzymes is limited. Lactase is the one ingredient rated Effective—it works for lactose intolerance.

For the others, the data we hold shows Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate them for their intended uses in digestion and nutrient absorption. That means human studies are either too few, too small, or too weak to draw firm conclusions about whether they work.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Papain Bromelain Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Lipase Lactase

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.

Papain and bromelain are generally well tolerated when used short-term at normal doses, though both can cause digestive upset (stomach irritation, gas, diarrhea) and allergic reactions in sensitive people—including itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and in rare cases with high papain doses, severe inflammation or even perforation of the esophagus. Protease and lactase are also generally well tolerated, and lactase is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy.

Lipase has no reported adverse effects in adults, though safety data is limited. We could not find safety information on amylase or cellulase.

Papain is rated Possibly Unsafe in pregnancy due to concerns with concentrated forms and unripe papaya products, and there isn't enough data to recommend supplemental papain while breastfeeding. Bromelain should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data.

For protease and lipase, pregnancy and breastfeeding data are insufficient—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

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?
  • 2 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Papain, Bromelain.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 141 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 like warfarin, or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting—papain and bromelain may increase bleeding risk. Also flag any tetracycline antibiotics (Moderate concern with bromelain).

No interactions are documented for amylase or cellulase, as we hold no data for them.

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.

Digest Assure is a multi-enzyme formula designed to aid digestion, and most of its ingredients are generally well tolerated. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, or tetracycline antibiotics, you'll want to check your specific medications with the search tool before starting.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding require a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist, especially since safety data on several ingredients is limited. If you have a serious digestive condition, talk with your healthcare provider first.

General Statements

Its active ingredients are balanced to help you break down the macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats) you consume into smaller molecules that can be absorbed to nourish and benefit your body. Macronutrients make up the greatest portion of your diet, and when broken down by our natural Protease, Amylase and Lipase enzymes, they can be used to provide your body with the structural components it requires, as well as fuel to produce energy. In addition to these three most important enzymes, Digest Assure also contains Cellulase to aid in fiber digestion, Lactase to break down dairy products, as well as natural Papain and Bromelain for additional support in converting proteins into absorbable amino acids. Many factors, including stress and aging, can make the complete digestion of the food we eat very difficult or impossible, which is why the mild, yet powerful natural enzymes in Digest Assure are so important to enjoying the benefits of a healthy diet.

To determine the digestive burden of a meal, consider its overall size, as well as its protein, fat and complex carbohydrate content.

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
Bromelain full monograph & interactions

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.

Digest Assure by ProCaps Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Digest Assure by ProCaps Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Digest Assure has a known interaction with 141 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Digest Assure contains 7 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.
Can I take Digest Assure if I'm on warfarin?
Papain in this product may strengthen warfarin's blood-thinning effect, raising your bleeding risk. One case report shows a patient's blood levels spiked dangerously after taking papain. Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before taking Digest Assure while on warfarin—don't start it on your own.
Is this safe to take while pregnant?
Papain is rated Possibly Unsafe in pregnancy, and bromelain should be avoided due to insufficient safety data. Lactase is rated Likely Safe. For the other ingredients, safety data is too limited to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're pregnant.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data on papain, bromelain, protease, and lipase to recommend them while breastfeeding. Lactase is rated Likely Safe. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're nursing regularly.
What are the most common side effects?
Bromelain and papain most commonly cause digestive upset—diarrhea, gas, stomach cramps, and nausea. Allergic reactions (itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing) can happen in people sensitive to these enzymes. Most people tolerate them well at standard doses.
Does this product actually work for digestion?
Lactase is proven effective for lactose intolerance. For the other enzymes—amylase, protease, lipase, bromelain, papain, and cellulase—the evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to say whether they improve digestion or nutrient absorption.
What's papain and why is it in here?
Papain is an enzyme from papaya that breaks down proteins. It's included because it's thought to help with protein digestion, though solid human evidence for that is lacking. It does have a documented interaction with blood thinners, so it's worth flagging if you take those.
