HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digestive Enzyme Advantage by Williams Nutrition

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 Oct 1, 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 1 of its 12 active ingredients.
  • “Digestive Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (210 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Soothing Herbal Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (200 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Digestive Enzyme Advantage contains 12 active ingredients, most of them enzymes that help break down food. Lactase splits milk sugar (lactose).

Protease breaks down protein, lipase breaks down fat, and amylase breaks down carbohydrates. Alpha-galactosidase and invertase handle more complex sugars; acid maltase and peptidase assist further in digestion.

The blend also includes ox bile powder, which helps your body absorb fat. The product is rounded out with a digestive herbal blend featuring dandelion extract and gentian extract, both traditionally used to support digestion.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, silica, and magnesium stearate—which are fillers, binders, and flow agents typical in supplement capsules.

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 enzyme support with soothing herbs.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Lactose intolerance, Diarrhea, bloating, indigestion — and 1 related terms.
  • 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: Dandelion is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia, Flatulence.

Evidence for most ingredients in this product is limited. Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance.

For the other active ingredients—protease, lipase, and the herbal components—the evidence we hold does not establish effectiveness for any specific condition. Dandelion and gentian have been assigned insufficient evidence ratings for the conditions studied (joint pain, wound healing, obesity, and digestive conditions like gastritis).

This doesn't mean they don't work; it means larger or better-designed human trials are needed to confirm benefit.

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

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 when taken as directed. Most of the enzymes—protease and lipase—are generally well tolerated for adults, though digestive upset or allergic reactions are possible.

Dandelion and gentian are generally well tolerated as foods but are less well studied at supplement-strength doses; both may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, or heartburn. Dandelion can rarely trigger allergic reactions including anaphylaxis in sensitive people, especially those allergic to ragweed or related plants (the Asteraceae family).

For pregnancy, lactase is likely safe, but dandelion should be avoided and gentian is best avoided; gentian is also best avoided while breastfeeding. Protease and lipase have not been well studied in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so medical advice is recommended before use in those situations.

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 — Dandelion, Gentian.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 612 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (dandelion may increase bleeding risk), blood pressure medications (gentian may lower it further), diabetes drugs (dandelion may lower blood sugar too much), potassium-sparing diuretics (dandelion raises potassium), lithium (dandelion may raise lithium levels), fluoroquinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin (dandelion may lower antibiotic levels), or any medication processed by your liver's CYP1A2 enzyme or through glucuronidation. We could not check interactions for glucoamylase, alpha-galactosidase, amylase, invertase, acid maltase, peptidase, or ox bile powder.

Dandelion extract7 drug types · 457 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking dandelion root along with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that dandelion root inhibits platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion extract may have moderate alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity and might also increase insulin secretion. Also, in a case report, a 58-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was being treated with insulin developed hypoglycemia 2 weeks after beginning to eat salads containing dandelion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, dandelion might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, until more is known, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking dandelion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the clearance of drugs that are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase substrates.
There is some preliminary evidence that dandelion might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a phase II enzyme.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, through diuretic effects, dandelion might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that dandelion has diuretic properties. As diuretics can increase serum lithium levels, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when taken with dandelion.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Quinolone Antibiotics

Theoretically, dandelion might lower fluoroquinolone levels.
Animal research shows that dandelion reduces absorption of ciprofloxacin and can lower levels by 73%. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Dandelion extract full monograph & interactions

Gentian extract1 drug type · 172 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking gentian with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
In vitro research shows that gentian can cause vasodilation and lower blood pressure.

Digestive Enzyme Advantage by Williams Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Digestive Enzyme Advantage by Williams Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Digestive Enzyme Advantage has a known interaction with 612 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Digestive Enzyme Advantage contains 12 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.
Will this help with lactose intolerance?
Lactase, one of the ingredients, is effective for lactose intolerance—it breaks down milk sugar so you can digest it. The other enzymes in the blend support general digestion of proteins and fats.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant?
Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy. However, the dandelion and gentian extracts in the herbal blend are best avoided during pregnancy—dandelion has limited safety data and gentian is advised against. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you right now.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Most of the enzymes have little safety data during breastfeeding. Dandelion and gentian also lack enough reliable safety information for breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What side effects might I experience?
The enzymes are generally well tolerated, but digestive upset or allergic reactions are possible. Dandelion and gentian may cause diarrhea, heartburn, or stomach discomfort. If you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants, dandelion could trigger an allergic reaction.
Does this product contain any fillers?
Yes, it contains inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, silica, and magnesium stearate. These are standard fillers and binders used in capsules.
Can this lower my blood sugar if I'm on diabetes medication?
Dandelion extract theoretically may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes drugs. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
