Overview

Critical Digestion offers a comprehensive array of digestive enzymes targeted at breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and various fibers, alongside a probiotic blend. The inclusion of Thera-Blend enzymes suggests optimized activity throughout the digestive tract. While individual enzymes like amylase, protease, and lipase are well-supported for their roles in digestion, efficacy of the entire complex depends on proper dosing of each enzyme, which appears to be largely adequate. The probiotic content (1 billion CFU) is beneficial for gut health and reducing discomfort associated with inadequate digestion.

The Good

Broad-spectrum digestive enzyme blend supports digestion of various macronutrients and fibers.

Proprietary Thera-Blend ensures enzyme activity across a wide pH range (stomach and intestine).

Includes 알파-Galactosidase to specific aid in breaking down complex carbohydrates that cause bloating and gas.

The Bad

Proprietary blend (ATPro Blend) prevents precise dosage assessment of its components (ATP, Magnesium Citrate, Alpha Lipoic Acid, CoQ10).

Limited direct human clinical trials on the specific combination product.

Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV is a drug component and its inclusion in a supplement at an active dose raises regulatory and safety questions, potentially interacting with glucose metabolism.
