Digestive enzymes help break food components into absorbable parts. Supplements may combine proteases, lipases, amylases or lactase, each with different activity measures. This is a broad category: a multi-enzyme retail blend should not be equated with a prescribed enzyme replacement used for a diagnosed pancreatic condition.

The evidence for clinically selected enzyme therapy does not prove that a general blend improves digestion in everyone. Enzyme activity units are more informative than blend weight alone. Persistent symptoms deserve an explanation, and enzymes cannot make food allergens or gluten safe for someone who must avoid them.
