HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Incredible Digestive Enzymes by Stonehenge Health

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 18 active ingredients.

This product contains 18 active ingredients, all digestive enzymes that help break down different food components. Amylase, glucoamylase, and invertase break down carbohydrates; lipase breaks down fats; protease and aspergillopepsin break down proteins; and bromelain, papain, cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase, beta-glucanase, xylanase, and phytase break down plant fibers and other complex molecules.

Lactase specifically breaks down lactose (milk sugar), and alpha-galactosidase helps reduce gas from beans and vegetables. The capsules also contain maltodextrin, hypromellose, water, and medium-chain triglyceride as inactive ingredients.

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.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Lactose intolerance, indigestion, bloating.
  • 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 evidence for these ingredients is limited. Lactase is rated as effective for lactose intolerance — it genuinely helps people digest milk products.

For the others — papain, bromelain, lipase, phytase, and the proteases — the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate whether they work for their intended purposes. While digestive enzymes are popular supplements, we don't hold reliable evidence that most of these ingredients improve digestion in people without a documented enzyme deficiency.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Papain Bromelain Lipase Lactase Phytase Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases)

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 6 of the 6 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 6 of 6.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 6 of 6.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Most of these enzymes are generally well tolerated when used as directed, though some can cause digestive upset — bromelain may cause diarrhea, flatulence, or stomach upset; papain may irritate the digestive tract; and protease may cause similar digestive symptoms. Allergic reactions are possible with papain and bromelain, especially in people sensitive to these enzymes.

For pregnancy, papain is rated possibly unsafe and should be avoided; bromelain is best avoided; lipase should be used only if your doctor advises it; lactase is likely safe; and data on phytase and the proteases in pregnancy are insufficient — talk with your doctor before using them. During breastfeeding, papain should be avoided, bromelain avoided, and the others used only under medical guidance.

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

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?
  • 2 of the 6 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Papain, 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.

Check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take warfarin or other anticoagulants (blood thinners like apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran), antiplatelet drugs (aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor), or tetracycline antibiotics (doxycycline, minocycline) before adding this product. The warfarin risk is the most serious concern here.

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 product is designed for people who want general digestive support, particularly those who have trouble digesting milk (thanks to its lactase content). If you take warfarin or other blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel, or if you take tetracycline antibiotics, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should check with their own healthcare provider first.

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Bromelain full monograph & interactions

Papain1 drug type · 2 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, papain might increase the effects and side effects of warfarin.
In one case report, a patient previously stable on warfarin was found to have an international normalization ratio (INR) of 7.4, which was attributed to ingestion of a supplement containing papain from papaya extract.

Incredible Digestive Enzymes by Stonehenge Health: Common Questions

Does Incredible Digestive Enzymes by Stonehenge Health interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Incredible Digestive Enzymes 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?
Incredible Digestive Enzymes contains 18 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 my digestion if I don't have a specific enzyme deficiency?
Lactase, which breaks down milk sugar, is the only ingredient in this product proven effective for its intended purpose — it works for people with lactose intolerance. For the other enzymes, the evidence in our data is insufficient to know whether they improve digestion in people without a documented enzyme shortage.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Papain and bromelain, two active ingredients here, are best avoided during pregnancy. Lactase is likely safe; lipase has limited data, so check with your doctor first. Talk with your healthcare provider before starting this product if you're pregnant.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate these enzymes well, but some may experience diarrhea, bloating, gas, or stomach upset — especially from bromelain. Allergic reactions like itchy eyes, sneezing, or abdominal cramping are possible, particularly to papain or bromelain, in people sensitive to these enzymes.
Is lactase in here actually effective for milk sensitivity?
Yes — lactase is rated as effective for lactose intolerance. If you have trouble digesting milk, this ingredient should help you break down the lactose.
Can I breastfeed while taking this?
Papain and bromelain should be avoided while breastfeeding. Lactase is likely safe. For the others, safety data are limited — check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're nursing.
What are all these different enzymes actually doing?
Each enzyme breaks down a different type of food: amylase, glucoamylase, and invertase handle carbohydrates; lipase breaks down fats; proteases break down proteins; and ingredients like bromelain, papain, and cellulase break down plant fibers and other complex molecules that your stomach may struggle with on its own.
