HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Intestine Targeted Enzyme Digestive Aid by GNLD Nutritionals
Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.
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
The stated purpose hasn't been mapped to our evidence data yet.
Why this rating?
- We haven't mapped this product's purpose to our evidence data yet — it'll be graded on the next content refresh.
Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.
Why this rating?
- The label discloses an exact amount for 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
- No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.
The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.
Why this rating?
- 1 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Papain.
- The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
- Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.

Why this rating?
- We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.

General Statements
#931200-275cc
Protease helps cleave protein into amino acids. Amylase aids carbohydrate breakdown into saccharides. Lipase, bile salts and dehydrocholic acid help prepare dietary lipids for absorption. These digestive agents promote healthy, stress-free digestion and optimum nutrient availability.* A high potency, comprehensive enzymatic digestant, that supplements the body's natural secretion of enzymes. Rich in naturally occurring plant-derived enzymes, that provide a broad range of activity across the full pH spectrum normally found in the intestinal tract. GNLD also adds ox bile and dehydrocholic acid to facilitate lipase activity and support thorough fat digestion.*
Tablets feature an enteric coating, to protect contents from stomach acid and ensure enzyme release in the intestines.
