HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mal T10 To T11 by Thera-Zyme

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 5 of its 12 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Plant Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (64 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Mal T10 To T11 contains 12 ingredients, most of them digestive enzymes. The active components are amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, glucoamylase, alpha-galactosidase, hemicellulase, and a proprietary plant enzyme blend — all meant to help break down food.

The product also includes parsley, alfalfa, saw palmetto, safflower, and Mojave yucca, which are plant extracts with properties beyond digestion. Vegetable capsule and phytase are inactive ingredients that serve as the capsule material and a processing aid.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: pH balancing system.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The enzyme ingredients in this product haven't been formally rated for effectiveness — we hold no established evidence for them in our data. Lipase, one of the digestive enzymes included, has been studied for inflammatory bowel disease and indigestion, but the evidence is insufficient to rate whether it actually works for those uses.

The plant ingredients like parsley, alfalfa, saw palmetto, and safflower also show insufficient evidence for their traditional uses. In short, this product's ability to improve digestion or relieve the conditions it might be marketed for is not established in our data.

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 7 of the 7 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 7 of 7.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 7 of 7.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Protease is generally well tolerated but may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people; it's best avoided in pregnancy and used cautiously while breastfeeding. Lipase is generally well tolerated in supplement form but should only be used under medical guidance if you have serious digestive conditions.

In pregnancy, lipase safety is unclear, so check with your doctor; the same applies to breastfeeding. Alfalfa is possibly unsafe in pregnancy due to its hormone-like activity and should be avoided in supplement amounts while breastfeeding.

Saw palmetto is likely unsafe during pregnancy and should be avoided while breastfeeding. Parsley in food amounts is safe, but the concentrated supplements in this product are best avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Safflower oil has been linked to liver failure in at least seven case reports, usually from overuse for weight loss, though safe doses are unclear. Mojave yucca safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not established, so it's best avoided.

Safflower may stimulate the uterus and should not be used in medicinal amounts during pregnancy.

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 4 of the 7 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Alfalfa, Safflower, Parsley, Saw Palmetto.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 781 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 if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, other anticoagulants) — alfalfa, parsley, saw palmetto, and safflower all raise bleeding risk. Antidiabetes medications may be affected by parsley, alfalfa, or safflower.

Diuretics and birth control pills may be less effective when taken with parsley or alfalfa and saw palmetto respectively. If you take pentobarbital or another sedative, parsley could prolong its effects.

Hormone therapy and estrogen medications may be reduced by alfalfa or saw palmetto. Immunosuppressants after a transplant may be weakened by alfalfa.

If you take sirolimus after a kidney transplant, parsley could theoretically raise your drug levels. No interactions are documented for the enzymatic ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This digestive enzyme blend is generally well tolerated in most adults, but the plant extracts — especially alfalfa, parsley, saw palmetto, and safflower — create real medication interactions you need to check first. If you take a blood thinner like warfarin, birth control, diabetes medication, diuretics, or a sedative, talk to your pharmacist before starting.

Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss this product with their doctor or pharmacist, as several ingredients lack safety data or carry cautions in those states.

Alfalfa6 drug types · 583 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, alfalfa might reduce the anticoagulant activity of warfarin.
Alfalfa contains a large amount of vitamin K. This could theoretically interfere with the activity of warfarin.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, alfalfa might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that alfalfa decreases blood sugar in diabetic mice. Also, in one case report, a diabetic patient experienced hypoglycemia after consuming alfalfa extract. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, alfalfa might interfere with the activity of contraceptive drugs.
Alfalfa contains coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, and isoflavonoids, which have estrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, alfalfa might interfere with hormone therapy.
Alfalfa contains coumestrol, a phytoestrogen, and isoflavonoids, which have estrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, alfalfa might decrease the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro research and human case reports suggest that alfalfa may have immunostimulant effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Photosensitizing Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of alfalfa with photosensitizing drugs might have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that excessive doses of alfalfa may increase photosensitivity, possibly due to its chlorophyll content. It is unclear if this effect would be clinically relevant in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Alfalfa full monograph & interactions

Parsley8 drug types · 443 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley has antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley might decrease blood glucose. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, parsley might increase serum levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
Laboratory research suggests that parsley can inhibit CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might enhance or interfere with the effects of diuretic drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley seed extract increases urine elimination. Parsley leaf and root might also interfere with diuretic therapy due their purported aquaretic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, parsley might increase the duration of pentobarbital effects.
Animal research suggests that parsley juice prolongs the action of pentobarbital, perhaps by decreasing cytochrome P450 levels. It is not known if this occurs in humans or if this applies to other barbiturates or sedatives.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sirolimus (Rapamune)

Theoretically, large quantities of parsley might increase sirolimus levels.
In one case report, an adult female with a history of kidney transplant presented with elevated blood sirolimus levels, approximately 4-7 times greater than previous measures, after daily consumption of a juice containing approximately 30 grams of parsley for 7 days. Sirolimus levels returned to normal a week after the parsley juice was discontinued.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, large amounts of parsley leaf and root might decrease the effects of warfarin.
Parlsey contains vitamin K.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aspirin

Theoretically, aspirin might increase the severity of allergic reactions to parsley.
In one case, severe urticaria and swelling were reported after taking aspirin with parsley in an individual with a known mild parsley allergy.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Parsley full monograph & interactions

Safflower3 drug types · 208 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

High doses of safflower oil might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Small clinical studies show that taking safflower oil, approximately 55 grams daily for 2-3 weeks, decreases platelet aggregation. However, taking lower doses of safflower oil, such as 5 grams daily for 4 weeks, does not seem to affect platelet function. In one case report, a 74-year-old male stabilized on warfarin developed urinary tract bleeding and an elevated INR after taking a safflower extract 20 grams daily for 14 days.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, safflower oil might alter the effects of antidiabetes drugs.
Some clinical research shows that taking safflower oil 10 grams daily for 3 weeks can increase fasting blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, clinical research in patients with metabolic syndrome with or without impaired glucose tolerance shows that taking safflower oil 8 grams daily for 12 weeks reduces fasting glucose levels by around 8 mg/dL. Some clinical research also shows that taking safflower oil 8 grams daily for 16 weeks does not affect fasting glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Warfarin

Theoretically, safflower oil might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
In one case report, a 74-year-old male stabilized on warfarin developed urinary tract bleeding and an elevated INR after taking a safflower extract 20 grams daily for 14 days.

Saw palmetto is reported to prolong bleeding time. Theoretically, it might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Saw palmetto might reduce the effectiveness of contraceptive drugs.
Saw palmetto might have antiestrogenic effects. Theoretically, it might interfere with contraceptive drugs taken concomitantly.

Mal T10 To T11 by Thera-Zyme: Common Questions

Does Mal T10 To T11 by Thera-Zyme interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Mal T10 To T11 has a known interaction with 781 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mal T10 To T11 contains 12 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?
Several ingredients in this product carry cautions or advice against use in pregnancy. Alfalfa has hormone-like effects and is best avoided; safflower may stimulate the uterus; parsley safety is unclear in pregnancy; and saw palmetto is likely unsafe. There isn't enough data on protease, lipase, and Mojave yucca either. You should talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant.
What are these enzymes supposed to do?
The enzymes in this product — amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, glucoamylase, alpha-galactosidase, and hemicellulase — are meant to help break down different parts of food (carbs, proteins, fats, fibers, and sugars). Whether they actually improve digestion when taken as a supplement isn't established in our data.
Can I take this with my blood thinner?
No — not without checking with your pharmacist first. Alfalfa, parsley, saw palmetto, and safflower in this product all interact with blood thinners like warfarin and may increase your bleeding risk. This is a serious concern and needs a personalized review of your exact medication and dose.
What's in the 'proprietary plant enzyme blend'?
The product facts don't list which specific enzymes or plants are in that blend, only that it's a proprietary formula. If you need to know exactly what's in it — for allergies, interactions, or other reasons — contact the manufacturer directly.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on most of the plant ingredients (parsley, alfalfa, saw palmetto, safflower, Mojave yucca) while breastfeeding, so they're best avoided or used only under medical advice. Protease and lipase also have limited breastfeeding safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
What side effects might I experience?
The enzymes are generally well tolerated, but parsley, alfalfa, saw palmetto, and safflower in this product may cause digestive upset, diarrhea, flatulence, or abdominal discomfort. Protease can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people. Safflower has been linked to liver failure in rare cases from overuse. Stop and talk to your pharmacist if you have unusual symptoms.
