HelloPharmacist Scorecard of DigestPlex by NF NutriPlex Formulas
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
DigestPlex contains 11 active ingredients designed to support digestion. The core components are digestive enzymes: protease and pepsin (which break down proteins), lipase (which breaks down fats), amylase (which breaks down carbohydrates), pancreatin (a blend of digestive enzymes from pork pancreas), and malt diastase (an enzyme that breaks down starches).
The formula also includes betaine hydrochloride (which increases stomach acid), beet (a source of nutrients and compounds), glutamic acid (an amino acid), ox bile extract (which aids fat digestion), and citrus pectin cellulose (a fiber). Inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, arrowroot, hydroxypropyl cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, and silicon dioxide—are fillers and binders that form the tablet.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for DigestPlex's individual ingredients is limited. Beet is possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness, but the enzymes and other components lack reliable evidence to establish whether they work for their digestive purposes.
Lipase, betaine hydrochloride, and several others have been studied for conditions like indigestion (dyspepsia) and inflammatory bowel disease, but the available data is insufficient to rate them. We don't have effectiveness data on file for amylase, protease, pepsin, pancreatin, or malt diastase as digestive aids in supplement form.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Protease and pepsin are generally well tolerated but may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people; rarely, occupational airborne exposure to pepsin has triggered allergic rhinitis or asthma. Lipase is generally well tolerated in supplement form, though serious digestive conditions warrant medical guidance.
Beet is widely eaten as food and generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements lack safety data—most common side effects are harmless red or black stools, though very large amounts theoretically could cause low blood calcium or kidney issues. Betaine hydrochloride may irritate the stomach and is unsafe for people with ulcers, gastritis, or true acid reflux, and could cause heartburn.
Regarding pregnancy: protease, pepsin, betaine hydrochloride, and lipase all lack adequate safety data and should be avoided or used only under medical advice. For breastfeeding, protease and pepsin carry little safety data; lipase and betaine hydrochloride are not well studied.
Amylase, glutamic acid, citrus pectin cellulose, ox bile extract, pancreatin, and malt diastase have no pregnancy or breastfeeding data on file.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking DigestPlex, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any of these: drugs metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP3A4 (including certain statins, some blood pressure and heart medications, and immunosuppressants)—beet may increase their levels; H2-blockers, antacids, or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)—betaine hydrochloride may reduce their effectiveness; or blood pressure medications—beet's nitrates may theoretically lower blood pressure further. No interactions are documented for the other ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
DigestPlex is a multi-enzyme digestive supplement, though strong evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. If you take acid-reducing medications (antacids, H2-blockers, or PPIs), blood pressure drugs, or medications processed by your liver, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it because beet and betaine hydrochloride may interfere.
It's not recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider to see if it fits your situation.

DigestPlex by NF NutriPlex Formulas Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
DigestPlex by NF NutriPlex Formulas contains two ingredients with documented interactions: betaine hydrochloride and beet.
The most serious concern is beet's Moderate interaction with drugs metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP3A4 (such as certain statins, some blood pressure medications, and immunosuppressants), where beet may increase drug levels and their effects.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Betaine hydrochloride has Minor interactions with three categories of acid-reducing drugs: H2-blockers (like famotidine), antacids, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs, like omeprazole). Because betaine hydrochloride raises stomach acidity, it may counteract these medications' effects.
Beet also carries Minor interactions with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) due to its nitrate content, though clinical evidence of a real impact is mixed, and with CYP1A2 substrates, where beet may decrease their levels.
Several ingredients in this product—amylase, glutamic acid, citrus pectin cellulose, ox bile extract, pancreatin, and malt diastase—could not be checked because we hold no interaction data for them. Altogether, these interactions span 884 individual medications.
Run your exact medications through the search tool on this page to see if any are affected, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting DigestPlex if you take acid-reducing drugs, blood pressure medications, or drugs processed by the liver.

For each ingredient in DigestPlex with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Beet
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, beet might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that betanin, the major pigment in beet, competitively inhibits CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner similarly to strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Beet and beetroot contain nitrates, which can cause vasodilation, potentially leading to lower blood pressure. However, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition using concentrated beetroot juice found no significant impact on blood pressure or heart rate in different age groups. Other small clinical studies suggest that while beet consumption might transiently lower blood pressure due to vessel dilation, there's no consistent evidence of a lasting effect. Overall, the theoretical risk of reduced blood pressure due to beet's nitrate content exists, but studies generally indicate a low and temporary impact rather than a sustained decrease.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, beet might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that beet induces CYP1A2 enzymes.
Betaine Hydrochloride
Antacids
Betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity and could decrease the effects of antacids.
In human research, betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity. Antacids are taken to decrease stomach acidity. Theoretically, taking betaine hydrochloride along with antacids might decrease the effects of the antacids.
H2-Blockers
Betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity and could decrease the effects of H2-blockers.
In human research, betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity. H2-blockers are used to decrease stomach acidity. Theoretically, taking betaine hydrochloride along with H2-blockers might decrease the effects of H2-blockers.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Ppis)
Betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity and could decrease the effects of PPIs.
In human research, betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity. PPIs are used to decrease stomach acidity. Theoretically, taking betaine hydrochloride along with PPIs might decrease the effects of PPIs
