Digestive Enzymes
Dr. Tobias Digestive Enzymes is a non-nutrient/non-botanical supplement containing 18 different enzymes, including Protease I, Amylase, Lipase, and Lactase, among others. This product aims to support digestive processes, with various enzymes targeting different macronutrients. However, specific dosages for each enzyme are not provided beyond the total blend, which impacts the ability to assess individual ingredient efficacy. The product received an N+ Score of 38, resulting in an 'F' grade, primarily due to a 0% label transparency score, which means individual enzyme unit activities are not disclosed, making it difficult to evaluate clinical relevance. While it includes a broad spectrum of enzymes, the lack of detailed dosage information is a significant weakness. It may be considered by individuals seeking a broad-spectrum enzyme blend without specific dosage requirements.
