Each is named for the substrate it acts on: amylase acts on starch, protease on protein, lipase on fat, lactase on lactose, cellulase on cellulose. The human body produces them in the mouth, stomach, pancreas and small intestine, and they also occur naturally in foods such as pineapple (bromelain) and papaya (papain). Enzyme food supplements supply measured activity units of these enzymes in a capsule or tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-q\" id=\"dez-supplements\"\u003eWhat is a digestive enzyme supplement?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-a\"\u003eA food supplement containing one or more enzymes, declared in activity units and usually taken with a meal. Formulas differ in which enzymes they contain, the activity of each, and whether the enzymes are plant, microbial or animal-derived. Under EU law these are foods, not medicines, and no health claim has been authorised for any of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-q\" id=\"dez-units\"\u003eWhat do USP, GDU, FCC and HUT units mean?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-a\"\u003eThey are enzyme activity assays, not weights. Each measures how much of a standard substrate an enzyme preparation acts on under defined laboratory conditions. USP follows the United States Pharmacopeia method, GDU (gelatin digesting units) is the standard assay for bromelain, HUT is a protease assay, and FCC units follow the Food Chemicals Codex methods. Units from different assays cannot be converted into one another or into milligrams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-q\" id=\"dez-when\"\u003eWhen are digestive enzyme supplements taken?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-a\"\u003eMost enzyme labels direct one capsule or tablet with a meal, because enzymes act on food. Always follow the directions on the individual product label and do not exceed the recommended daily dose. These products are for adults aged 18 and over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-q\" id=\"dez-how-long\"\u003eHow long can you take digestive enzyme supplements?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-a\"\u003eEach product label states its own directions and duration, and those directions are what to follow. There is no general answer that applies across products. If you are considering taking any supplement long term, or you are taking medication or under medical supervision, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-q\" id=\"dez-vegan\"\u003eAre digestive enzyme supplements suitable for vegetarians and vegans?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-a\"\u003eSome are and some are not, and the label is the only reliable guide. Bromelain, papain and fungal or microbial enzymes are not animal-derived. Pancreatic enzymes and pepsin are usually porcine, and ox bile extract is bovine, so any formula containing them is not vegetarian. Capsule shells matter too: some are plant-based hypromellose, others are gelatine. Check the individual product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-q\" id=\"dez-vs-probiotics\"\u003eWhat is the difference between digestive enzymes and probiotics?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-a\"\u003eEnzymes are proteins that act on food components and are taken with a meal. Probiotics are live microorganisms. They are entirely different categories of product with different labelling, different storage requirements and different regulatory positions. Neither carries an EU-authorised health claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-q\" id=\"dez-claims\"\u003eWhy does this page not say what digestive enzymes do?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-a\"\u003eBecause no health claim for any digestive enzyme has been authorised under EU Regulation 1924\/2006. Only authorised claims may be made for food supplements sold in Ireland, so this page states what each product contains rather than what it might do. Pages that promise a benefit from an enzyme supplement are making a claim that is not authorised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-q\" id=\"dez-legal\"\u003eAre digestive enzyme supplements legal in Ireland?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-a\"\u003eYes. They are sold as food supplements under EU and Irish food law, overseen by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI). They are not medicines. Some enzyme preparations also exist as licensed prescription medicines for specific medical conditions; those are a different category of product, available only on prescription, and nothing in this range is a substitute for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-q\" id=\"dez-delivery\"\u003eWhere do these ship from?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dez-faq-a\"\u003eProbiotic.ie dispatches from Dublin, so Irish orders carry no customs charges or import duties, unlike orders shipped from outside the EU.

Each tablet contains a blend of seven digestive enzymes (amylase, protease and lipase from porcine pancreatic enzymes, plus bromelain, papain, pepsin and cellulase) together with betaine HCl 200 mg, ox bile extract 100 mg, papaya fruit powder 45 mg and calcium 20 mg. It comes in a bottle of 90 tablets and the label directs one tablet with a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-q\" id=\"nse-faq-enzymes\"\u003eWhich enzymes are in each tablet, and how much of each?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-a\"\u003ePer tablet: amylase 20,000 USP units, protease 20,000 USP units and lipase 1,600 USP units (from porcine pancreatic enzymes, 10X strength), bromelain from pineapple 120 GDU, papain from papaya 100,000 FCC PU, cellulase 10 FCC CU and pepsin (porcine) 500,000 FCC pepsin units. The total enzyme blend weighs 182 mg. Amylase, protease, lipase and cellulase are named for the class of substrate on which each enzyme acts (starch, protein, fat and cellulose respectively); this is enzyme nomenclature, not a claim about the effect of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-q\" id=\"nse-faq-units\"\u003eWhat do USP, GDU and FCC units mean?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-a\"\u003eThey are enzyme activity units, not weights. Each measures how much of a standard substrate an enzyme preparation acts on under defined laboratory conditions: USP units follow the United States Pharmacopeia method, GDU (gelatin digesting units) is the standard assay for bromelain, and FCC units (papain units, cellulase units, pepsin units) follow the Food Chemicals Codex methods. Units from different assays cannot be converted into one another or into milligrams, so two products can only be compared on the same enzyme measured in the same unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-q\" id=\"nse-faq-tablet-vs-capsule\"\u003eHow is the tablet different from NOW Super Enzymes capsules?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-a\"\u003eThe tablet and capsule share betaine HCl 200 mg, ox bile extract 100 mg, papaya 45 mg, bromelain 120 GDU, papain 100,000 FCC PU and cellulase 10 CU. They differ in four ways. The tablet's pancreatic enzyme fraction is lower (amylase and protease 20,000 USP units each and lipase 1,600 USP units, against 37,000, 37,000 and 2,960 in the capsule). The tablet uses porcine pepsin (500,000 FCC pepsin units) where the capsule uses a fungal acid-stable protease (1,233 HUT). The tablet adds calcium 20 mg. And the tablet is coated with a pharmaceutical glaze and is about 2 cm long, while the capsule is a 1-inch bovine gelatine capsule. The ox bile extract is standardised to a minimum of 45% total cholic acids in the tablet and 42% in the capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-q\" id=\"nse-faq-vegetarian\"\u003eIs NOW Super Enzymes Tablets suitable for vegetarians or vegans?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The pancreatic enzymes and the pepsin are porcine (pig-derived) and the bile extract is bovine (ox-derived).

It is not manufactured with soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut or sesame ingredients, but it is produced in a facility that processes those allergens. The label also cautions anyone with an allergy to papaya or pineapple to consult a doctor before use, because papain and bromelain are derived from those fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-q\" id=\"nse-faq-legal\"\u003eAre digestive enzyme supplements legal in Ireland?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"nse-faq-a\"\u003eYes.

No EU health claim has been authorised for any digestive enzyme, betaine HCl, ox bile extract or papaya under Regulation 1924\/2006, so no claim is made on this page.
