HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Telezyme by Premier Nutritionals International

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 0 of its 10 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (400 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Enzyme Enhanced Spirulina(TM) (Organic) GRBCF-77(TM) Enzyme & Mineral Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Telezyme is a 10-ingredient digestive enzyme blend. The active enzymes are bromelain (derived from pineapple), protease, lipase, lactase, cellulase, invertase, alpha-galactosidase, and maltase — together they're designed to help break down proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and dairy.

The blend also contains ionic minerals and enzyme-enhanced spirulina. Two inactive ingredients — magnesium stearate and a veggie capsule — help hold the formula together.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“longevity support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Lactose intolerance — rated "Effective" (Lactase) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence is thin for most of what these enzymes are used for. Bromelain shows insufficient reliable evidence for hay fever, burns, cancer support, nerve damage from chemotherapy, chronic vein problems, and diabetes.

Lipase is similarly unproven for inflammatory bowel disease and indigestion. Lactase is the exception — it's considered effective for lactose intolerance.

The other enzymes' effectiveness hasn't been rated in the data we hold.

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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Bromelain is generally well tolerated short-term when taken by mouth, though evidence on long-term use is limited. The most common side effects are diarrhea, flatulence, stomach upset, and headache.

Some people may have allergic reactions (rare but possible, especially if inhaled). Protease and lipase are generally well tolerated, though both can occasionally cause digestive upset or allergic reactions.

Lactase is generally well tolerated. For pregnancy: bromelain safety data is not enough, so it's best avoided.

Protease and lipase have not been established as safe in pregnancy — use only if your doctor advises it. Lactase is likely safe.

For breastfeeding: bromelain and protease safety is unknown — avoid or ask your healthcare provider first. Lipase has limited data — check with your doctor or pharmacist.

Lactase has limited data; it acts only in the gut, so ask your provider first.

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 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bromelain.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 141 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 Telezyme, check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin) — bromelain may increase bleeding risk. Also check if you take tetracycline antibiotics, as bromelain may affect their absorption.

No other medication interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Telezyme is a multi-enzyme digestive supplement. It's generally well tolerated short-term, though most of its intended uses have insufficient evidence behind them — lactase for lactose intolerance is the exception.

If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or tetracycline antibiotics, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before you start, because bromelain may affect how those drugs work. Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss it with their healthcare provider first.

Telezyme by Premier Nutritionals International: Common Questions

Does Telezyme by Premier Nutritionals International interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Telezyme has a known interaction with 141 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Telezyme contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Will Telezyme help with my digestion?
The evidence isn't clear for most digestive complaints. Lactase — one of the enzymes in the blend — is proven effective for lactose intolerance, but the other enzymes and their combinations haven't been reliably tested for indigestion or general digestion support. Talk with your doctor if you're using it to manage a specific digestive condition.
Can I take Telezyme if I'm pregnant?
Bromelain shouldn't be used in pregnancy because safety data is insufficient. Protease and lipase also lack established safety data in pregnancy — use only if your doctor advises it. Lactase is likely safe. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether Telezyme is right for you.
Can I take Telezyme if I'm breastfeeding?
Bromelain and protease safety while breastfeeding is unknown — avoid them or ask your healthcare provider. Lipase has limited data available — check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Lactase acts only in the gut, so safety is likely low; still, ask your provider.
What side effects does bromelain cause?
Most common are diarrhea, flatulence, stomach upset, and headache. Allergic reactions are possible but rare; if inhaled, it may trigger asthma or throat itching in sensitive people. Stop and contact your doctor if you have signs of an allergic reaction.
What do all these enzymes do?
Each breaks down different nutrients: bromelain, protease break down proteins; lipase breaks down fats; lactase breaks down milk sugar (lactose); the others break down various carbohydrates. Together they're meant to assist overall digestion, though the evidence for most uses is limited.
I take a tetracycline antibiotic. Can I use Telezyme?
Bromelain may increase how much tetracycline your body absorbs, which could affect how the drug works. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before you start Telezyme — they can help you decide whether it's safe for you or if you need to take it at a different time.
