Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between taking proteolytic enzymes with food vs on an empty stomach?

When taken with meals, proteolytic enzymes act as digestive aids — breaking down dietary protein in the gut. When taken on an empty stomach (between meals), the enzymes are absorbed rather than used for digestion.*

Why include multiple proteolytic enzymes rather than just one?

Different proteolytic enzymes cleave proteins at different amino acid sequences. Bromelain (from pineapple) and papain (from papaya) are plant-derived. Protease from microbial sources provides additional protein-degrading breadth. Serratiopeptidase comes from silkworm bacteria. Together, they provide broader enzymatic coverage than any single enzyme.*

Are there any contraindications?

Yes. People taking blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin, heparin) should use caution as proteolytic enzymes can enhance anticoagulant effects. Those with peptic ulcers, active bleeding, or scheduled for surgery should consult their healthcare professional. Bromelain and papain may cause reactions in people with pineapple or papaya allergies. Always consult your doctor before use if you have any health conditions or take medications.
