HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vegetarian Pancreatin 475 mg by Source Naturals
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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
This product has 4 active ingredients: protease, pancreatin, alpha amylase, and alpha-lipase — all digestive enzymes that work to break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats in your food. The capsule itself contains cellulose and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for these enzymes is limited. For alpha-lipase (lipase), we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it helps with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), dyspepsia (indigestion), or prematurity.
No effectiveness ratings are on file for protease in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Protease and alpha-lipase are generally well tolerated by most adults, though some people report digestive upset or allergic reactions. Protease can rarely trigger allergic responses, especially with airborne exposure.
For pregnancy, the safety data on protease advises against use unless prescribed by your doctor. For alpha-lipase in pregnancy, there isn't enough data — talk with your doctor before taking it.
During breastfeeding, neither ingredient has enough safety data; check with your healthcare provider first. Alpha-lipase has not been thoroughly studied for safety overall, and people with serious digestive conditions should use it only under medical guidance.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check. That said, we could not verify interaction data for pancreatin and alpha amylase, so if you take any medications, run them through the search tool on this page to be sure.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a straightforward digestive enzyme supplement with no medication interactions documented. If you have a serious digestive condition or are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — the safety data is limited in those situations.

FDA Statement of Identity
Dietary Supplement
Formula
Digestive Plant Enzymes in Vegetarian Capsules
Source Naturals Vegetarian Pancreatin is a broad-spectrum plant-based enzyme blend. It includes protease for protein breakdown, amylase or starch breakdown, and lipase for fat breakdown. Unlike pancreatin derived from animal sources, vegetarian pancreatin works at a wide range of pH levels to break down food in the acidic stomach as well as the more neutral intestines. Plus, vegetarian pancreatin can help digest wheat gluten, which may increase stomach and intestinal comfort. Supplementing the body's digestive process with enzymes is of great value in today's fast-paced society.
Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions
Suggested use: 1 capsule with water at the beginning of each meal (or open capsule and sprinkle over food). If the meal is very large or usually high in fat or protein, a second capsule can be taken after eating. Do not sprinkle in hot food.
