HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digestase 2.0 by AOR Advanced Orthomolecular Research Premium

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 8 of its 8 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Digestase 2.0 is an 8-ingredient digestive enzyme blend. It includes protease (which breaks down protein), lactase (for dairy), lipase (for fats), amylase (for carbohydrates), cellulase (for fiber), invertase (for sugar), and alpha-galactosidase (for complex carbohydrates).

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, tapioca dextrin, potato dextrin, mannitol, sodium chloride, calcium gluconate, and sodium stearyl fumarate — which are fillers and binders.

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: digestive tract health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Lactose intolerance, indigestion, bloating, malabsorption.
  • 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.

Lactase in this product is effective for lactose intolerance. For the other ingredients — protease, lipase, amylase, cellulase, invertase, and alpha-galactosidase — we hold no effectiveness ratings in our data.

The evidence for lipase in dyspepsia (indigestion) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is insufficient to rate. You may want to ask your pharmacist whether this blend matches what you're trying to support.

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

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

The protease in this product is generally well tolerated in most adults but may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people. Rarely, occupational exposure to protease powders has triggered allergic rhinitis or asthma, and a few cases of contact dermatitis or allergic reactions have been reported with lactase.

Lipase is generally well tolerated in supplement form, though a thorough safety review hasn't been done. People with serious digestive conditions should use lipase under medical guidance.

During pregnancy, protease safety is not established — it's best avoided unless prescribed. Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy.

For lipase and the other enzymes, there isn't enough data — talk with your doctor before regular use in pregnancy. During breastfeeding, there is little safety data for protease, lactase, and lipase, so ask your doctor or pharmacist first before using regularly.

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 3 matched ingredients has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That said, we couldn't verify amylase, invertase, alpha-galactosidase, or cellulase.

Before starting, ask your doctor or pharmacist to review your medications against this product — especially if you take drugs affecting digestion or clotting.

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.

Digestase 2.0 is a multi-enzyme blend with no documented drug interactions in our data, though we couldn't check all ingredients. Lactase is proven effective for lactose intolerance; the others lack strong evidence in our records.

If you have serious digestive conditions, take blood thinners, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, run this by your own doctor or pharmacist first — they know your full health picture and can tell you if it's right for you.

Digestase 2.0 by AOR Advanced Orthomolecular Research Premium: Common Questions

Does Digestase 2.0 by AOR Advanced Orthomolecular Research Premium interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Digestase 2.0. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Digestase 2.0 contains 8 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.
Is Digestase 2.0 safe during pregnancy?
Protease in this product is best avoided in pregnancy unless prescribed. Lactase is likely safe. For lipase and the other enzymes, there isn't enough data — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it regularly during pregnancy.
Is it safe to use while breastfeeding?
There is little safety data for protease, lactase, and lipase during breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist first before regular use, especially since the safety of the other ingredients during nursing hasn't been well studied.
Can protease cause allergic reactions?
Yes, in rare cases. Protease may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions. Occupational exposure to protease powders has occasionally triggered allergic rhinitis or asthma; a few cases of contact dermatitis and allergic responses have also been reported.
Does lactase work for lactose intolerance?
Yes. Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance. If you're using this product for dairy digestion, the lactase ingredient should help.
What about the other enzymes — do they actually work?
We don't have effectiveness ratings in our data for protease, lipase, amylase, cellulase, invertase, or alpha-galactosidase. For lipase and digestive issues like indigestion or inflammatory bowel disease, the evidence is considered insufficient to rate. Your pharmacist may have additional information on how this blend is typically used.
Is this product safe if I have a digestive condition?
Lipase should be used only under medical guidance if you have a serious digestive condition. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you have inflammatory bowel disease or other chronic digestive issues.
