HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ultra Daily Enzymes by Altrum

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 13 of its 15 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (206 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Proprietary Prebiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Ultra Daily Enzymes contains 15 active ingredients — a mix of digestive enzymes and prebiotic compounds. The main enzymes are Protease (breaks down protein), Lipase (breaks down fat), Lactase (breaks down milk sugar), and several others like Amylase, Cellulase, and Phytase that help digest different carbohydrates and fiber.

The product also includes a proprietary enzyme blend and a proprietary prebiotic blend, plus FOS and IMO, which are types of fiber that feed beneficial gut bacteria. The capsule is made from gelatin, and there's plant fiber listed as an inactive ingredient.

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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Support digestion of all food groups.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Lactose intolerance, Bloating and gas, Indigestion, Nutrient absorption.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactase is rated "Effective" for Lactose intolerance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lipase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia.

For Lactase, the evidence shows it's effective for lactose intolerance — that's what lactase does, break down the milk sugar your body can't handle on its own. For the other enzymes and prebiotics in this product — Protease, Lipase, Phytase, and the rest — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether they work for any specific condition.

That doesn't mean they don't work; it means the studies aren't robust enough yet to say so definitively.

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.

Protease, Lipase, and Lactase are generally well tolerated by adults, though some people report mild digestive upset. Rarely, people who've been occupationally exposed to powdered protease or phytase have had allergic reactions like asthma or allergic rhinitis, but that's from heavy airborne exposure, not from taking a capsule.

During pregnancy, the safety data for Protease advises against use unless prescribed; Lipase and Phytase have insufficient data, so talk with your doctor before using them regularly if you're pregnant. While breastfeeding, there's little safety data on supplemental Protease, Lipase, and Phytase — check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

For the other ingredients, we have no safety information on file.

Meds to double-check

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 4 matched ingredients has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the three ingredients we could check — Protease, Lipase, and Lactase. However, we hold no interaction data for eight other ingredients in this product, so use the medication checker on this page to verify your prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have trouble digesting dairy or certain foods, Lactase in this product has solid evidence behind it. For the other enzymes, the evidence is too thin to know if they'll help your specific condition.

Before starting, check your medications with us — we couldn't fully verify eight of the ingredients. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor first.

Ultra Daily Enzymes by Altrum: Common Questions

Does Ultra Daily Enzymes by Altrum interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Ultra Daily Enzymes. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Ultra Daily Enzymes contains 15 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.
Does this help with lactose intolerance?
Yes — Lactase, one of the ingredients here, is effective for lactose intolerance. It breaks down the milk sugar your body can't digest on its own. The other enzymes in the product don't have strong enough evidence yet to say whether they'll help with other digestion issues.
Is it safe to take this while I'm pregnant?
The safety data differ for each ingredient. Protease is advised against during pregnancy unless your doctor prescribes it. Lipase and Phytase don't have enough data to say either way — talk with your doctor before using them regularly. Lactase is likely safe. For the other eight ingredients, we have no safety information on file.
Will this cause side effects?
Most people tolerate the main enzymes well, but some report mild digestive upset. Rarely, people who've inhaled powdered protease or phytase at work have had allergic reactions. Taking it as a capsule is very different from that kind of exposure, but if you have a known enzyme allergy, mention it to your pharmacist.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There's little safety data on Protease, Lipase, and Phytase during breastfeeding, so check with your doctor or pharmacist first. For the other ingredients, we have no safety information. Your doctor can help you weigh whether to use it.
What are the proprietary blends in this product?
The label lists a proprietary enzyme blend and a proprietary prebiotic blend, but we don't have details on their exact contents — only that the individual enzymes are listed separately. If you need to know what's in those blends, ask the manufacturer or call us.
