HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phellolia by OL Olympian Labs Incorporated

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 1 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Plant Enzyme Blend:” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (40 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Phellolia contains five active ingredients, all digestive enzymes. Protease breaks down proteins, lipase breaks down fats, and cellulase breaks down plant fibers; amylase breaks down starches.

The product also includes a plant enzyme blend designed to support digestion. The capsules also contain rice flour, microcrystalline cellulose, ascorbyl palmitate, and silica as inactive ingredients.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence on lipase for digestive conditions like indigestion (dyspepsia) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is insufficient to rate its effectiveness. The same applies to prematurity-related uses.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for protease or the other enzyme components in this product in our database, so their effectiveness for any condition is not established by the data we have.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Lipase

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Protease and lipase are generally well tolerated in most adults, though some people report digestive upset or allergic reactions. Rarely, people exposed to airborne protease (such as in occupational settings) have developed allergic rhinitis or asthma-like symptoms.

Serious gastrointestinal effects, including necrotizing enterocolitis, have been reported in premature infants given recombinant lipase products, though this product is not labeled for infants. For pregnancy, the safety data on protease advises against use unless prescribed by your doctor; lipase has little safety data in pregnancy, so use only if your doctor recommends it.

During breastfeeding, protease is not recommended without medical advice, and lipase safety has not been well studied—check with your healthcare provider first.

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 2 matched ingredients has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. However, we were unable to check amylase, cellulase, or the proprietary blend component.
