HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Enzyme Blend by Flora Udo's Choice

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 Jul 30, 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 0 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend (Non-Nutrient/Non-Botanical)” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (150 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This blend has 7 active ingredients—enzymes that help break down different parts of food. Protease 4.5 works on proteins, amylase on carbohydrates, lipase on fats, lactase on milk sugar, and cellulase on plant fiber.

Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple that's included for additional support, and alpha-galactosidase helps with certain complex carbohydrates. The remaining ingredients are inactives—the capsule shell, cellulose, and other fillers that hold everything together.

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 and lactose intolerance relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Lactose intolerance, Indigestion, Bloating and gas.
  • 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.

The only ingredient with established effectiveness in this blend is lactase, which is effective for lactose intolerance. For bromelain, the evidence for conditions like hay fever, burns, or chronic venous insufficiency is insufficient to rate it—we don't have reliable data yet.

The same goes for protease 4.5, lipase, amylase, cellulase, and alpha-galactosidase: their effectiveness for digestive support is not established in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Lactase Bromelain 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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Protease 4.5, bromelain, and lipase are generally well tolerated short-term, though bromelain's long-term safety is limited. Protease may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions; bromelain commonly causes diarrhea, flatulence, or headache; and lipase has no reported adverse effects in adults, though serious effects are rare in premature infants given recombinant forms.

Lactase is generally well tolerated as directed and may cause allergic reactions only in rare cases. Regarding pregnancy, bromelain should be avoided—safety data is insufficient.

Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy but check with your doctor first. Protease 4.5 and lipase lack enough pregnancy data; talk with your doctor.

For breastfeeding, bromelain should be avoided, and protease 4.5, lactase, and lipase require medical advice first due to limited data.

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

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?
  • 1 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bromelain.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 141 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.

Double-check your exact medications before taking this, especially if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin—bromelain may increase bleeding risk. If you're on tetracycline antibiotics (like doxycycline), let your doctor know, though the interaction is minor and a human study found no effect.

For all other medications, no interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a multi-enzyme formula best suited for people looking to support digestion, particularly those who struggle with lactose. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—bromelain does carry a documented interaction risk.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should discuss it with their healthcare provider, as safety data is limited for most of these enzymes. Talk over whether this product makes sense for your situation with your own doctor or pharmacist.

Bromelain2 drug types · 141 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Bromelain may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
There is one case report of a patient experiencing minor bruising while taking bromelain with naproxen. Bromelain is thought to have antiplatelet activity. Whether this interaction is of concern with topical bromelain is unclear. Interference with coagulation of burn wounds has been reported in a patient receiving bromelain-based enzymatic debridement. However, observational research has found that topical bromelain debridement is not associated with increases or decreases in laboratory markers of coagulation when compared with surgical debridement.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, bromelain might increase levels of tetracycline antibiotics.
Laboratory research suggests that bromelain might increase the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. However, a study in healthy adults reported no difference in tetracycline plasma levels when a 500 mg dose was taken with or without bromelain 80 mg.

Enzyme Blend by Flora Udo's Choice: Common Questions

Does Enzyme Blend by Flora Udo's Choice interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Enzyme Blend has a known interaction with 141 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Enzyme Blend contains 7 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?
The blend contains enzymes designed to help break down different foods, but we don't have reliable evidence yet that these specific enzymes reduce bloating or gas. The bromelain in it may actually cause flatulence or gastric upset in some people, so it could go either way for you.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant?
Not without checking first. Bromelain should be avoided during pregnancy because safety data is insufficient. Protease 4.5 and lipase also lack enough pregnancy safety data. Lactase is likely safe, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any of these during pregnancy.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Again, check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Bromelain should be avoided while breastfeeding because safety is unknown. Protease 4.5, lactase, and lipase have limited breastfeeding data, so medical advice is important before starting.
What is bromelain and why is it in here?
Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple. It's included in digestive blends for additional enzyme support, though we don't have reliable evidence that it works for specific digestive complaints. It does have antiplatelet effects, so if you take blood thinners, you'll need to clear it with your doctor first.
Are there any fillers in this?
Yes. The inactive ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, maltodextrin, and a vegetarian capsule shell to hold the enzymes together.
Is this good for people with lactose intolerance?
Yes—lactase is in this blend and is proven effective for lactose intolerance. It's generally well tolerated, and it's likely safe during pregnancy, though you should still confirm with your doctor.
