HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vegetarian Jarro-Zymes Plus by Jarrow Formulas
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.
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 8 active ingredients.
- “Proprietary Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (188 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.
Why this rating?
- None of the 3 matched ingredients has a documented medication interaction on file.
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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
- Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
- General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
- Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Formula
Vegetarian Jarro-Zymes Plus is a special formulation of acid-stable microbial and fungal enzymes with activities similar to pancreatin, containing amylase, lipase, and a complex of endo- and exopeptidases that are active over a wide range of gastrointestinal pH. Alpha galactosidase is produced by single cell fermentation and facilitates digestion of legumes and cruciferous vegetables. Lactase is added to facilitate the digestion of lactose.
