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

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Gluten & Dairy Ultra Shield Enzymes by Innate Response 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
Full disclosure
Gluten & Dairy Ultra Shield Enzymes contains 10 active ingredients—all digestive enzymes designed to help break down foods. The three proteases (Protease, Protease 4.5, and Protease 6) work on proteins; lactase breaks down milk sugar; and the others—amylase, cellulase, xylanase, beta-glucanase, and hemicellulase—target starches and plant fibers.
There's also a proprietary enzyme blend called BioCore DPP-IV. The capsule itself contains rice bran, vegetable cellulose, and water as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Lactase in this product is effective for lactose intolerance—that's well established. The data we hold shows insufficient evidence to rate lactase for prematurity or colic.
We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for the protease forms or the other enzymes in this blend, so we can't speak to how well they work for their intended purposes based on the evidence we've reviewed.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
The protease enzymes are generally well tolerated in most adults, though digestive upset or allergic reactions can occur in some people. Rare cases of allergic reactions to proteases—including contact dermatitis and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis—have been reported, mostly in occupational settings with airborne or powder exposure.
Lactase is also generally well tolerated; a rare case of allergic reaction has been reported with powdered lactase exposure. For pregnancy, the protease forms have not been studied enough to call them safe—it's best to avoid them unless your doctor prescribes them.
Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy. For breastfeeding, there's limited data on both proteases and lactase; talk with your doctor or pharmacist before regular use.
Lactase works only in the gut, so it poses lower theoretical risk.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check in this product. That said, we couldn't verify several ingredients—Amylase, Cellulase, Xylanase, Beta-Glucanase, Hemicellulase, and Total Enzyme Blend.
If you take any prescription drugs, confirm with your doctor or pharmacist that this enzyme formula won't interfere with them.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is for people who have trouble digesting gluten-containing grains or dairy. If you're generally sensitive to enzymes or have a history of allergic reactions to protease products, talk with your pharmacist first.
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should check with their doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if they plan to use it regularly. Run your medications through the search tool to be sure.
