HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digestive Enzymes by Meijer

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 0 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Digestive Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (220 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has six active digestive enzymes. Protease breaks down protein, lipase breaks down fats, and the others — amylase, cellulase, invertase, and maltase — each break down different carbohydrates.

Together they're meant to help your body digest food. The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients: oat fiber, maltodextrin, gelatin, silicon dioxide, magnesium silicate, a trace mineral complex, dextrin, and magnesium stearate.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive enzyme support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, indigestion, pancreatic insufficiency, malabsorption.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lipase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for digestive enzymes in this product isn't established in our data. Lipase has been studied for inflammatory bowel disease and indigestion (dyspepsia), but the data we hold rates both as insufficient to say whether it works.

We don't have effectiveness ratings for the other enzymes. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this type of supplement might help with your digestion.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Protease and lipase are generally well tolerated by most adults, though some people report digestive upset or allergic reactions. Protease can rarely trigger an allergic response similar to occupational exposure in people who handle enzymes in detergents — if you notice rash, swelling, or breathing trouble, stop and call your doctor.

Lipase appears safe at supplement doses in adults, but serious side effects like intestinal bleeding are extremely rare. For pregnancy: the safety data for protease advises against use during pregnancy unless your doctor prescribes it.

Lipase hasn't been well studied in pregnancy, so talk with your doctor before taking it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. We don't have safety data on file for amylase, cellulase, invertase, or maltase in pregnancy or while nursing — check with your doctor or pharmacist for those.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Lipase

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 2 matched ingredients has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Even so, it's always smart to mention any new supplement to your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you take medications for blood clotting, heart conditions, or digestive issues.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

This enzyme blend may help some people digest food better, but we don't have strong evidence it works for specific digestive conditions. Most adults tolerate it well, but if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have serious digestive problems, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

If you notice any allergic symptoms like rash or breathing trouble, stop and contact your doctor right away.

Digestive Enzymes by Meijer: Common Questions

Does Digestive Enzymes by Meijer interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Digestive Enzymes. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Digestive Enzymes contains 6 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 bloating or gas?
We don't have evidence in our data showing these enzymes work for bloating or gas. Some people find digestive enzymes helpful, but the research we hold doesn't confirm it. Your doctor or pharmacist can suggest what might work best for your situation.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant?
Protease should be avoided in pregnancy unless your doctor prescribes it. Lipase hasn't been well studied in pregnancy — talk with your doctor before taking it if you're pregnant. We don't have safety data for the other enzymes during pregnancy either, so run it by your healthcare provider first.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Safety during breastfeeding hasn't been well studied for lipase or protease, so check with your doctor or pharmacist first. We don't have data for the other enzymes either — your healthcare provider can give you personalized advice.
What does lipase do?
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats so your body can digest them. It's naturally present in your digestive system, and this supplement adds more.
Could this trigger an allergic reaction?
Protease can rarely cause allergic reactions in sensitive people, especially those with occupational exposure to enzyme powders. If you notice rash, swelling, or trouble breathing after taking it, stop and call your doctor.
