HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lipase-HP Plus by AST Enzymes

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 2 of its 5 active ingredients.

Lipase-HP Plus contains 5 active ingredients: lipase, amla (Indian gooseberry), proteases, amylases, and bovine bile. These are all digestive enzymes and bile components intended to support fat and protein breakdown in your digestive tract.

The product also includes inactive ingredients — cellulose, maltodextrin, and silica — which are fillers and capsule materials.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: fat digestion and gallbladder function support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Fat malabsorption, Pancreatic insufficiency, Postprandial bloating.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lipase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for these ingredients is mixed. Lipase and proteases haven't yet been rated for effectiveness — the research isn't established in our data.

Amla shows more promise: it's rated possibly effective for acid reflux (GERD) and high cholesterol (dyslipidemia). For other uses like low cholesterol overall, hair loss, and digestive upset, the evidence is insufficient to rate.

If you're taking this for digestive support, talk with your pharmacist about what the science actually supports.

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 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.

Lipase is generally well tolerated, though people with serious digestive conditions should use it only under medical guidance. No adverse effects have been reported in adults in typical use, but safety testing hasn't been thorough.

Amla is generally well tolerated as a food, but supplement safety is less studied. A small number of trial participants reported stomach discomfort, fatigue, or muscle pain.

Proteases are generally well tolerated but may occasionally cause digestive upset or allergic reactions — rare occupational exposure to airborne protease has triggered allergic rhinitis or asthma. In pregnancy, lipase has little safety data — use only if your doctor advises it.

Amla should be avoided in pregnancy due to insufficient safety data. Proteases are best avoided in pregnancy unless prescribed.

For breastfeeding, safety data for all three is limited — check with your healthcare provider first.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lipase Indian Gooseberry 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?
  • 1 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Indian Gooseberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 208 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 your medications before taking Lipase-HP Plus if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants), antiplatelet drugs (including aspirin), clopidogrel (Plavix), or diabetes medications — amla can increase bleeding risk or lower blood sugar further. No interactions are documented for the other ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help with acid reflux and cholesterol if amla's effects hold up for you, but evidence is still incomplete. If you take blood thinners, aspirin, clopidogrel, or diabetes medications, talk to your pharmacist first — amla can interact with these.

Pregnant or breastfeeding people should ask their doctor before starting.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg, as a single dose or for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg or ecosprin 75 mg alone. Until more is known, use caution when taking Indian gooseberry in combination with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Taking Indian gooseberry with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry fruit or fruit extract alone or in conjunction with antidiabetes medications can lower blood glucose levels. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with aspirin; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with ecosprin 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus ecosprin 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with ecosprin 75 mg alone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Clopidogrel (Plavix)

Theoretically, Indian gooseberry may increase the risk of bleeding if used with clopidogrel; however, research is conflicting.
Clinical research shows that taking Indian gooseberry 500 mg as a single dose or twice daily for 10 days reduces platelet aggregation by about 24% to 36%, increases bleeding time by about 3.8-5.9 seconds, and increases clotting time by about 9.8-12.7 seconds when compared to baseline. However, taking a single dose of Indian gooseberry 500 mg along with clopidogrel 75 mg, or taking a combination of Indian gooseberry 500 mg twice daily plus clopidogrel 75 mg once daily for 10 days, does not significantly reduce platelet aggregation or increase bleeding time or clotting time when compared with clopidogrel 75 mg alone.

Lipase-HP Plus by AST Enzymes: Common Questions

Does Lipase-HP Plus by AST Enzymes interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lipase-HP Plus has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lipase-HP Plus contains 5 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 this safe to take if I'm pregnant?
No. The three ingredients with safety data — lipase, amla, and proteases — all have too little pregnancy safety information. Amla should be avoided in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor before using any of these during pregnancy.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way for lipase, amla, or proteases during breastfeeding. Check with your healthcare provider first before starting.
What does amla do in this product?
Amla (Indian gooseberry) is included for its potentially helpful effects on acid reflux and cholesterol levels. It's rated possibly effective for both, though more research is still needed.
Does this really help with digestion?
Lipase and proteases are digestive enzymes meant to break down fats and proteins, but the evidence for their effectiveness in supplement form isn't yet established in our data. If you have specific digestive concerns, ask your pharmacist whether this product is right for you.
What side effects should I watch for?
No adverse effects have been reported with lipase in adults with normal use. Amla caused stomach discomfort in a small number of trial participants; proteases may occasionally cause digestive upset or allergic reactions. Stop and contact your doctor if you have unusual symptoms.
Will this interact with my aspirin?
Yes — amla in this product can increase your bleeding risk when taken with aspirin. Check with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on aspirin for heart health or stroke prevention.
