Overview

While the enzyme blend could theoretically support digestion by breaking down various food components, the overall effectiveness is overshadowed by the questionable and potentially risky inclusion of EDTA in an oral supplement. The lack of specific enzyme unit disclosures within the proprietary blend makes it impossible to assess if individual enzymes are present at clinically effective doses. Oral EDTA for systemic chelation is largely unproven and potentially harmful, diminishing the product's overall effectiveness for its implied, broader health claims beyond basic digestion.

The Good

Contains a broad spectrum of digestive enzymes that may aid in the breakdown of various food components (carbohydrates, proteins, fibers).

May support digestive health and nutrient absorption for individuals with enzyme deficiencies.

The Bad

Inclusion of EDTA for oral use is highly controversial and potentially unsafe, lacking robust evidence for general supplementation.

Proprietary blend conceals individual enzyme doses, making it impossible to ascertain effectiveness or potential underdosing.

Specific health warnings on the label (Professional Use Only, not for long-term daily use, contraindications for kidney/liver conditions, pregnancy/nursing, and prescription drug users) indicate significant safety concerns.

Is it for you?

Best For: Individuals seeking digestive support, those interested in detoxification (with caution), people with enzyme deficiencies

Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, have kidney issues, or are on medications that interact with EDTA or enzymes. Consult a doctor if you have pre-existing conditions.
