Udo's Choice Digestive Enzymes supplement is a complete blend of seven active plant-based digestive enzymes that assist in the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, sugars and fibre, aiding healthy digestion and nutrient absorption.
Udo's Digestive Enzymes help alleviate abdominal discomfort such as indigestion, heartburn, bloating, and gas, including that produced by eating beans, legumes, cruciferous, and other ‘gas-producing’ vegetables, cooked or inadequately chewed foods, and overeating.
Digestive Enzymes formula contains a range of 7 specific enzymes designed to breakdown each major nutrient group:
- protease breaks down protein
- lipase breaks down fat
- amylase breaks down starches, sugars & carbohydrates
- cellulose breaks down vegetable fibre
- lactase breaks down lactose (milk sugar)
- alpha galactosidase breaks down fermentable carbohydrates/oligosaccharides
- bromelain breaks down protein
Udo's Digestive Enzymes supplement benefits those who have a hectic lifestyle and modern diets that are lacking in enzyme-containing raw foods (these naturally occurring enzymes are often lost in the preparation and cooking processes). They help assimilate nutrients from food, alleviate bloating and ensure regularity of bowel movement.
Directions: As a food supplement, take one capsule of Udo's digestive enzymes before meals or as directed by your healthcare professional. For heavy meals: consume an additional capsule during the meal. Capsules can be opened and the contents sprinkled over food if desired (do not take with very hot items as enzymes are heat sensitive). In case of ulcer, do not take on an empty stomach. No refrigeration required.
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. Store in a cool, dry place. Store out of reach of young children.

Can the use of supplemental digestive enzymes cause the body to stop producing its own enzymes?
No.
Can one take enzymes during pregnancy?
Yes.
Are Udo’s Digestive Enzymes vegan?
No, the enzymes are not vegan because they contain lactase and, in order to produce lactase, the aspergillus needs to be fed lactose. The vegan types won’t accept a product as vegan if any animal products are used in any part of the production, even though no trace of lactose is in the finished product.
What is the source of the maltodextrin in the blend?
The maltodextrin in the enzymes comes from Non-GMO corn.
