HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Premier Protease by Premier Research Labs

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Premier Protease contains one active ingredient: protease, a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins. The other ingredients are the inactive excipients mineralized red algae, potato dextrin, and the vegetable capsule itself.

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: protein digestion and breakdown support.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold does not establish an effectiveness rating for protease in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases)

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Protease is generally well tolerated for most adults, though digestive upset or allergic reactions are possible. Safety has not been established in pregnancy, so it's best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor prescribes it.

During breastfeeding, there is little safety data, and medical advice is recommended before use. Rarely, people exposed to proteolytic enzymes occupationally have developed allergic responses — including allergic rhinoconjunctivitis or asthma — though this typically occurs with airborne exposure in industrial settings rather than with oral supplements.
