✅ Lactase improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose

Lactase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose — the sugar found in dairy products — into glucose and galactose. Individuals who produce insufficient lactase cannot fully digest lactose, which can result in digestive discomfort after dairy consumption. Digestive Enzyme PRO contains Lactase as one of its 5 enzymes. This is the only authorised EU/UK health claim made for this product. All other content is educational background only.

🍞 Amylase — Carbohydrates and Starch

Amylase catalyses the hydrolysis of starch and carbohydrates into maltose and glucose. Produced naturally by the salivary glands and pancreas. Starch is the primary carbohydrate in the human diet — found in bread, rice, pasta and potatoes. Non-animal microbial fermentation origin. Educational background only — food supplement, not a medicine.

🥩 Protease — Proteins

Protease catalyses the breakdown of proteins into shorter peptide chains and free amino acids. Protein digestion begins in the stomach and continues in the small intestine. Dietary protein sources include meat, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes and grains. Non-animal microbial fermentation origin. Educational background only — food supplement, not a medicine.

🥛 Lactase — Lactose (Dairy Sugar) ✅ Authorised Claim

Lactase catalyses the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose. Lactose is the primary sugar in milk and dairy products. Lactase production naturally declines in many adults — a condition called lactase non-persistence, affecting an estimated 65% of the global adult population to varying degrees. Non-animal fermentation origin. Authorised EU/UK claim: Lactase improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose. Food supplement — not a medicine.

🥑 Lipase — Fats

Lipase catalyses the hydrolysis of triglycerides (dietary fats) into fatty acids and glycerol. Fat digestion is a multi-step process involving bile salts and pancreatic lipase in the small intestine. Dietary fat sources include oils, meat, fish, nuts, seeds and dairy. Non-animal microbial fermentation origin. Educational background only — food supplement, not a medicine.

🥦 Cellulase — Plant Cellulose

Cellulase catalyses the hydrolysis of cellulose — the structural carbohydrate forming the cell walls of plants. The human body does not produce cellulase naturally; it must be obtained from microbial sources. Cellulose is found in all plant-based foods. Non-animal microbial fermentation origin. Educational background only — food supplement, not a medicine.

🌱 Non-Animal Origin — Why It Matters

Digestive enzyme supplements are available in two categories: animal-derived (typically from porcine or bovine pancreas) and microbial/plant-derived (via fermentation). Digestive Enzyme PRO uses enzymes produced via fermentation from microbial sources — making them suitable for vegans, vegetarians, those following Kosher or Halal dietary requirements, and those who prefer to avoid animal-derived ingredients. GMO-free, BSE/TSE free and certified clean. Educational background only — food supplement, not a medicine.

📚 What the Peer-Reviewed Literature Shows

Multi-enzyme complex supplementation has been examined in several clinical studies. A study published in PMC (PMC11066670) examined a penta-enzyme complex (amylase, lactase, cellulase, lipase and protease) and found significant improvement in efficacy parameters and a reduction in gastric and intestinal symptoms over 60 days. These are academic findings about multi-enzyme complexes as ingredients — not health claims for this food supplement product. The only authorised EU/UK health claim made for Digestive Enzyme PRO is for Lactase. Educational background only — food supplement, not a medicine.

⚠️ When to Consult Your GP

If you have a diagnosed digestive condition — including IBS, IBD, coeliac disease, Crohn's disease, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency or any other GI condition — consult your GP before taking any digestive enzyme supplement. Prescription enzyme replacement therapies exist for certain conditions. Signs requiring GP assessment: persistent diarrhoea, unexplained weight loss, fatty or oily stools, significant abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting after eating. Food supplement — not a medicine.

What are digestive enzymes?

Digestive enzymes are proteins that catalyse the breakdown of macronutrients in food into forms the body can absorb. The body naturally produces them in the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas and small intestine. Enzyme production varies between individuals and can be affected by age, stress and digestive health. Educational background only — food supplement, not a medicine.

Is there an authorised health claim for Digestive Enzyme PRO?

Yes — for the Lactase enzyme: "Lactase improves lactose digestion in individuals who have difficulty digesting lactose." This is an authorised EU/UK health claim retained in UK law. This is the only authorised health claim made for this product. All other content is educational background only. Food supplement — not a medicine.

What do the 5 enzymes do?

Amylase — breaks down carbohydrates and starch. Protease — breaks down proteins into amino acids. Lactase — breaks down lactose (dairy sugar). Lipase — breaks down fats and triglycerides. Cellulase — breaks down plant cellulose. All are of non-animal microbial fermentation origin. Educational background only — food supplement, not a medicine.

Are Digestive Enzyme PRO tablets vegan?

Yes — all 5 enzymes are derived from non-animal microbial fermentation sources. Vegan and vegetarian. GMO-free, Kosher certified, Halal certified and BSE/TSE free. Tablet format contains standard binders and excipients required for manufacture — all declared on the label. Food supplement — not a medicine.

When should I take Digestive Enzyme PRO?

Follow the directions on the product label. Digestive enzyme supplements are typically taken with meals — at the start of eating so the enzymes are present when food enters the digestive tract. Consult your GP before use if you have any diagnosed digestive condition or are taking prescription medication. Food supplement — not a medicine.

Why non-animal origin?

Many digestive enzyme supplements use animal-derived enzymes from porcine or bovine pancreas. Digestive Enzyme PRO enzymes are produced via microbial fermentation — suitable for vegans, vegetarians, those following Kosher or Halal dietary requirements, and those who avoid animal-derived ingredients. GMO-free and BSE/TSE free. Food supplement — not a medicine.

Is this a medicine?

No — Digestive Enzyme PRO Tablets are food supplements, not licensed medicines. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or medical condition. If you have a diagnosed condition requiring prescription enzymes, your GP will prescribe the appropriate licensed treatment. Food supplement — not a medicine.
