TerraZyme
doTERRA DigestZen
Overview
TerraZyme is a digestive enzyme supplement containing a variety of enzymes intended to aid in the breakdown of different food components. While the inclusion of various enzymes, Betaine HCL, and a tummy tamer blend may offer comprehensive digestive support, the absence of specific dosage information for each enzyme and the proprietary nature of some blends makes it difficult to ascertain the overall effectiveness. The inclusion of peppermint, ginger and caraway could help alleviate some GI symptoms. Additionally, the inclusion of Aspergillus is concerning due to potential health risks.
