Description

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the proteolytic enzyme pepsin that are secreted in the stomach, and the pancreatic enzymes (amylase, lipase, and protease) secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine are essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food we eat. A supplement containing these enzymes can provide benefit in situations when less than optimal amounts are produced in the body – like during the natural aging process.*

HCl facilitates the body’s absorption of multiple nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, and various forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc.* Pancreatic enzymes facilitate the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and K, CoQ10, and omega-3 fatty acids.*

FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is Multi Enzyme worth buying if I already take a probiotic?

Yes, they serve different purposes. Probiotics support gut bacteria balance, while Multi Enzyme helps your body actually break down and absorb the nutrients in your food. Taking both can offer more comprehensive digestive support. If your digestion feels sluggish, you experience bloating after meals, or you're over 40, adding a digestive enzyme supplement like Multi Enzyme can make a noticeable difference in how you feel daily.

Where can I buy Multi Enzyme and is there a return policy?

Multi Enzyme is available directly through our website, ensuring you receive a genuine product. We stand behind our supplements with a satisfaction guarantee — if you're not happy with your purchase, contact our customer support team to learn about return options. Buying directly also gives you access to the best pricing, bundle deals, and subscription savings we offer.

What does Multi Enzyme do for digestion?

Multi Enzyme provides key digestive enzymes — including HCl, pepsin, amylase, lipase, and protease — that help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. These enzymes mirror what your stomach and pancreas naturally produce. When your body doesn't make enough on its own, this supplement steps in to support efficient nutrient breakdown and absorption, reducing common issues like bloating, gas, and feeling uncomfortably full after meals.

Who should consider taking a digestive enzyme supplement?

Digestive enzyme supplements are especially beneficial for older adults, since enzyme production naturally declines with age. They may also help people who frequently experience bloating, indigestion, or discomfort after eating. Anyone looking to maximize nutrient absorption from their diet could benefit. If you have a medical condition affecting your pancreas or stomach, consult your healthcare provider before starting any enzyme supplement.

When is the best time to take Multi Enzyme?

Digestive enzymes work best when taken just before or at the start of a meal. This timing allows the enzymes to be present in your digestive tract when food arrives, supporting optimal breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Taking them on an empty stomach is generally less effective since there's no food for the enzymes to act on.

What is hydrochloric acid (HCl) and why is it included in this supplement?

Hydrochloric acid is naturally produced in your stomach and plays a critical role in digestion. It activates pepsin for protein breakdown, kills harmful bacteria in food, and helps your body absorb key nutrients like iron, calcium, and B12. As we age, HCl production can decrease. Including it in Multi Enzyme helps restore optimal stomach acidity to support efficient digestion and nutrient absorption.
