Bloating after a meal is usually a mechanical problem.
Food arrives in your gut as long chains — proteins, fats, sugars — and none of it crosses into you until those chains are cut into pieces small enough to absorb. Enzymes are the scissors. Whatever isn’t cut travels on to the bacteria further down, who ferment it, and fermentation makes gas. That is where the pressure and tightness an hour after eating comes from.

The six enzyme activities, and what each one acts on
Digestive enzymes break food into molecules small enough to absorb, and your pancreas makes its own. It does not make the same amount forever: Laugier and colleagues (Digestion, 1991) measured exocrine pancreatic secretion across adult ages and found that output declines from the third decade onward.
Digestive Enzyme Pro provides six enzyme activities, each printed on the panel: 2,500 HUT of fungal protease in the Makzyme-Pro™ blend, 90 GDU of bromelain and 2,670 TU of papain acting on protein, 1,500 FIP of fungal lipase on fat, 600 LACU of fungal lactase on lactose, and 300 GALU of alpha-galactosidase on the sugars in beans and cruciferous vegetables.
Take one capsule at the start of a meal so the enzymes are present when the food arrives, or up to two with a larger meal. Sixty servings per bottle. If your symptoms are severe, persistent, or new, have them looked at by a doctor.
Common Questions
When should I take it?
Take one capsule at the beginning of each meal, or up to two with larger meals. The enzymes need to be present before the food arrives.
Is this the same as a probiotic?
No. Probiotics add bacteria to your gut. Digestive enzymes break down food so it can be absorbed. They address different things and can be taken together.
Will I become dependent on enzyme supplements?
These enzymes act on the meal they are taken with rather than on the pancreas. You can stop at any time.
