HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Formula 1 Protein Digest by NESS Nutritional Enzyme Support System
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
This capsule contains four active enzymes designed to support protein and fat digestion. The formula includes protease (which breaks down proteins), lipase (which breaks down fats), amylase (which breaks down carbohydrates), and cellulase (which breaks down plant fiber).
The inactive ingredients are plant fiber and water.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for these enzymes isn't established in our data. Lipase has been studied for inflammatory bowel disease and indigestion, but there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate how well it works for either one.
We don't hold effectiveness ratings for protease, amylase, or cellulase in this product.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Protease and lipase are generally well tolerated by most adults but may cause digestive upset or, rarely, allergic reactions — especially if you have a serious digestive condition, in which case use only under medical guidance. Neither has solid safety data in pregnancy or breastfeeding; the facts advise against protease in pregnancy unless prescribed, and recommend checking with your doctor or pharmacist before using lipase during either.
Amylase and cellulase safety data isn't on file here.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check in this product. That said, before you take it, run your medications through the search tool on this page and confirm with your doctor or pharmacist that it won't affect how your drugs work.
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 is an enzyme blend meant to support digestion. It's generally well tolerated, but if you have a serious digestive condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a known enzyme allergy, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
They can tell you whether it's right for your situation.
