HelloPharmacist Scorecard of T5 To T9 Stm by Chiro-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.

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 6 of its 16 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Plant Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (169 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Chiro-Zyme T5 To T9 Stm contains 16 ingredients, most of them digestive enzymes. Vitamin B12 supports nerve function and red blood cell health.

The blend includes several enzyme types — protease (breaks down protein), lipase (breaks down fat), and other enzymes like cellulase and diastase — along with plant-based ingredients: marshmallow, slippery elm, papaya, and mastic tree. These are intended to support digestion and gut health.

The product also contains inactive ingredients, including a vegetable capsule and phytase.

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.

For the active ingredients we have effectiveness data on, the evidence is limited. Vitamin B12 is effective for treating B12 deficiency and certain rare conditions, but the other ingredients in this product show insufficient evidence for most of their traditional uses.

Marshmallow, slippery elm, and papaya lack solid clinical support for diarrhea, constipation, or digestive complaints. Mastic tree is possibly effective for indigestion, though the data are modest.

Overall, we do not have strong clinical evidence that this combination works as a digestive aid.

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 6 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.

Vitamin B12 is very safe and is needed in pregnancy and breastfeeding at normal recommended amounts. Marshmallow and slippery elm are generally well tolerated short-term, but safety data are limited; both should be avoided in pregnancy due to insufficient safety information, and caution is advised while breastfeeding.

Papaya in ripe food amounts is generally safe, but unripe papaya, papaya latex, and concentrated supplements should be avoided, especially in pregnancy. Protease may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions and should be avoided in pregnancy unless prescribed.

Lipase is generally well tolerated but has limited pregnancy and breastfeeding data. Mastic tree is well tolerated in food amounts but should be avoided in medicinal doses during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Allergic reactions are rare but possible, particularly to papaya in people with latex sensitivity.

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?
  • 4 of the 7 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Papaya, Marshmallow, Vitamin B12, Slippery Elm.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,069 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.

Before you take this product, double-check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take oral medications of any kind (slippery elm and marshmallow may slow absorption), lithium (marshmallow), diabetes medications (papaya), warfarin or other blood thinners (papaya and marshmallow), amiodarone (papaya), levothyroxine (papaya), or metformin (vitamin B12).

The bottom line

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

This product is a digestive enzyme blend with added herbs, but evidence for its effectiveness is weak. If you take any prescription medications — especially diabetes drugs, blood thinners, heart rhythm medications, thyroid hormones, or lithium — you need to check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor to see if it's appropriate for you.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in T5 To T9 Stm with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Marshmallow3 drug types · 2,040 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, due to potential diuretic effects, marshmallow might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Marshmallow is thought to have diuretic properties. To avoid lithium toxicity, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when used with marshmallow.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, marshmallow flower might have antiplatelet effects.
Animal research suggests that marshmallow flower extract has antiplatelet effects. However, the root and leaf of marshmallow, not the flower, are the plant parts most commonly found in dietary supplements. Theoretically, use of marshmallow flower with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs can have additive effects, and might increase the risk for bleeding in some patients.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Oral Drugs

Theoretically, mucilage in marshmallow might impair absorption of oral drugs.
Marshmallow contains mucilage which can affect oral drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take marshmallow 30-60 minutes after oral medications.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Marshmallow full monograph & interactions

Slippery Elm1 drug type · 2,022 drugs

Oral Drugs

Theoretically, slippery elm may slow the absorption and reduce serum levels of oral drugs.
Slippery elm inner bark contains mucilage, which may interfere with the absorption of orally administered drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Slippery Elm full monograph & interactions

Papaya4 drug types · 92 drugs

Amiodarone (Cordarone)

Theoretically, papaya extract may increase the levels and clinical effects of amiodarone.
Animal research in rats shows that a single oral dose of papaya extract, as well as multiple doses of papaya extract daily over 14 days, prior to a single dose of amiodarone delays the time to maximum amiodarone concentration. However, only the 14-day papaya extract regimen increases systemic amiodarone exposure by 60% to 70%. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Concomitant use of antidiabetic drugs with fermented papaya can produce additive effects. It is unclear if other forms of papaya have the same effect.
A small low-quality clinical study in patients with type 2 diabetes who are taking glibenclamide shows that taking a fermented papaya preparation 3 grams daily for 2 months decreases fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels when compared to baseline. Additionally, of the 25 patients in the study, 9 required a reduction in glibenclamide dose.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Theoretically, consuming large quantities of papaya fruit can reduce the clinical effects of levothyroxine.
In one case-report, a 37-year-old male with a history of thyroidectomy who was stabilized on levothyroxine for 5 years presented with hypothyroidism after consuming 5-6 papaya fruits daily for 14 days during vacation. In a controlled re-challenge test involving 5-6 papayas daily, the patient remained euthyroid for 7 days, but developed mild hypothyroidism after 14 days. Both times, thyroid levels normalized 40-45 days after discontinuing papaya.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, concomitant use of warfarin with papain-containing papaya extract might increase the effects and side effects of warfarin.
In one case report, a patient previously stable on warfarin was found to have an international normalization ratio (INR) of 7.4, which was attributed to ingestion of a supplement containing papain from papaya extract.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Papaya full monograph & interactions

Vitamin B121 drug type · 20 drugs

Metformin (Glucophage)

Metformin, a common medication used to manage type 2 diabetes, has been associated with lower vitamin B12 levels in some individuals. Prolonged use of metformin can interfere with the absorption of B12 in the digestive system, potentially leading to a deficiency in this essential vitamin.

T5 To T9 Stm by Chiro-Zyme: Common Questions

Does T5 To T9 Stm by Chiro-Zyme interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, T5 To T9 Stm has a known interaction with 2,068 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
T5 To T9 Stm contains 16 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 while I'm pregnant?
The safety data are limited or caution against it. Marshmallow and slippery elm should be avoided during pregnancy. Papaya — especially unripe papaya or concentrated supplements — should also be avoided. Vitamin B12 is considered safe and needed in pregnancy at recommended amounts. Talk to your doctor or midwife before starting any of these ingredients.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Vitamin B12 is safe and important during breastfeeding at recommended amounts. Marshmallow, slippery elm, papaya supplements, and mastic tree all have limited safety data while breastfeeding, and medical advice is recommended before use. Check with your healthcare provider first.
What is papain, and why is it a concern?
Papain is an enzyme from papaya, especially raw or unripe papaya. It can increase the effects of blood thinners like warfarin and may interact with diabetes drugs and thyroid medication. People with latex allergies are more at risk for allergic reactions. If you take any of those medications, avoid papaya in this product.
Why does marshmallow interact with so many things?
Marshmallow contains mucilage, a thick substance that can coat your digestive tract. This coating may slow how your body absorbs other medications taken by mouth and may theoretically affect how your kidneys handle lithium. To be safe, take marshmallow 30–60 minutes apart from other oral medications.
What does slippery elm do, and is it safe?
Slippery elm is an herb traditionally used to soothe the digestive tract, but clinical evidence for it is weak. It's generally well tolerated short-term, though safety data are limited. Like marshmallow, its mucilage may interfere with how your body absorbs oral drugs, so spacing them apart is wise.
Is vitamin B12 in this product enough if I take metformin?
Metformin can lower B12 levels over time, a Minor interaction. Whether the amount of B12 in this product is enough for you depends on your individual needs and blood levels. Have your doctor or pharmacist assess whether you need extra B12 if you're on metformin long-term.
