HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gluten/Dairy Digest by Pure Encapsulations

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
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 3 active ingredients.
  • “BioCore DPP-IV” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “BioCore Dairy” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (105 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has 3 active ingredients: lactase, protease enzymes, and two proprietary blends (BioCore DPP-IV and BioCore Dairy) designed to aid digestion of dairy and gluten. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar); the protease enzymes break down proteins.

The inactive ingredients are a vegetarian capsule and plant fiber. The two BioCore blends are the tricky part — their exact makeup isn't listed, so we can't tell you precisely what else is in there.

If you need to know the full ingredient breakdown, reach out to Pure Encapsulations directly.

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: digest gluten and dairy foods.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactose intolerance, dairy sensitivity, gluten sensitivity.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactase is rated "Effective" for Lactose intolerance (Natural Medicines).

Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance. There isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it for colic or prematurity.

The effectiveness of protease enzymes and the two proprietary blends (BioCore DPP-IV and BioCore Dairy) isn't established in the data we hold — so we can't say whether they work for gluten or dairy digestion.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Lactase

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.

Lactase is generally well tolerated when used as directed. A rare case of allergic reaction (contact dermatitis and allergic rhinitis) to powdered lactase has been reported in occupational exposure, but it's uncommon.

Protease enzymes are generally well tolerated for most adults, though they may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people. Safety hasn't been established in pregnancy, so they're best avoided unless your doctor prescribes them.

There's limited breastfeeding data, so medical advice is needed before use. Occupational exposure to airborne protease has rarely caused allergic rhinitis or asthma, but ingested doses carry different risk.

Lactase is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

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

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. That said, the two proprietary blends (BioCore DPP-IV and BioCore Dairy) contain unlisted components, so it's worth confirming your medications with your doctor or pharmacist 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 lactose intolerance, lactase can help. The other ingredients are generally well tolerated by most adults, though digestive upset or allergies are possible.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or take any medications, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — especially because two of the active ingredients are proprietary blends we can't fully assess.

Gluten/Dairy Digest by Pure Encapsulations: Common Questions

Does Gluten/Dairy Digest by Pure Encapsulations interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Gluten/Dairy Digest. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Gluten/Dairy Digest contains 2 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.
Is lactase safe if I'm pregnant?
Lactase is rated likely safe during pregnancy. But check with your doctor about regular use — they know your situation best.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Lactase has limited data during breastfeeding but acts only in the gut, so it's likely okay — ask your doctor or pharmacist first. Protease enzymes have little safety data during breastfeeding, so medical advice is needed before use.
What does lactase do?
Lactase breaks down lactose, the sugar in milk. It's effective for people with lactose intolerance.
Could this cause an allergic reaction?
Rarely, yes. Lactase allergies and protease allergies have been reported, though they're uncommon. If you have a history of enzyme allergies, mention it to your doctor or pharmacist.
What are proteases for?
Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins during digestion.
What's in the BioCore blends?
The product label doesn't list their individual ingredients — they're proprietary blends. Contact Pure Encapsulations if you need the full breakdown.
