DigestMore Plant-Based Foods Ingredients & Drug Interactions
by Renew Life
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking DigestMore Plant-Based Foods against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
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. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy
DigestMore Plant-Based Foods is a dietary supplement by Renew Life with 13 active ingredients. Its ingredients are commonly taken for improving mineral absorption, breaking down phytic acid (phytate) in grains and legumes, supporting digestion of plant-based foods.We don’t currently list a known drug interaction for its mapped ingredients — but that doesn’t guarantee none exist, so always confirm with your pharmacist.
HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DigestMore Plant-Based Foods by Renew Life
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
Low disclosure
DigestMore contains 13 active ingredients, all digestive enzymes designed to help break down different foods. Lipase breaks down fats; lactase handles dairy milk sugar; cellulase, hemicellulase, and the fiber blend target plant fibers; peptidase and the protein blends work on proteins; alpha-galactosidase, phytase, and invertase address complex carbohydrates and sugars; fungal amylase and diastase further support starch breakdown; and fungal protease rounds out protein digestion.
The product also contains inactive ingredients (maltodextrin, the capsule material, and medium-chain triglycerides) as excipients.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence backing these enzymes is thin. Lactase is rated effective for lactose intolerance — that one's well established.
For everything else in this product — lipase for digestive upset or inflammatory bowel disease, phytase for iron or zinc status — the evidence isn't sufficient to make a solid claim. The data we hold doesn't establish whether the other enzymes work for any condition.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lipase and lactase are generally well tolerated when used as directed, though lipase should only be used under medical guidance if you have serious digestive conditions. Phytase has limited human supplement data but is considered low-risk in foods; there's a small risk of allergic reaction in people occupationally exposed to powdered phytase, though that's an occupational hazard, not a typical supplement concern.
Lipase has little safety data in pregnancy and limited data while breastfeeding, so check with your doctor first. Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy but use caution and confirm with your doctor during breastfeeding.
Phytase has insufficient data — avoid it in pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise, and use caution while breastfeeding. We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding data on file for the other enzymes.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Several enzyme ingredients in this product we have no data for, so if you take any medications, use the interaction checker on this page with your exact drug names before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you have trouble digesting certain foods — especially dairy or high-fiber plant foods — this product might be worth a try, particularly because lactase's effectiveness for lactose intolerance is well supported. Anyone with serious digestive conditions should use it only under medical guidance.
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any medications.
