Pure Encapsulations Digestive Enzyme 100 Chewable Tablets is a food supplement providing a broad-spectrum blend of vegetarian digestive enzymes in a chewable, mixed berry-flavoured tablet. It is intended to be taken with meals to support the digestion of protein, fat, starch, fibre and lactose-containing foods.

Key Features

• Broad-spectrum enzyme blend: each tablet contains the DigeZyme Multienzyme Complex, providing protease, lipase, alpha-amylase, lactase and cellulase, so a single tablet targets several different food components from one meal rather than just one.
• Chewable tablet format: the mixed berry-flavoured tablets are chewed rather than swallowed whole, which suits people who find capsules or large tablets difficult to take.
• Flexible dosing with meals: one tablet is taken with each meal, up to 3 times a day, so intake can be matched to how many meals need support on a given day.
• Free from gluten and soya, non-GMO, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans: fits a wide range of dietary needs without extra checking.
• Pack of 100 tablets: even at the highest suggested intake of 3 tablets a day, one pack provides around a month's supply before a reorder is needed.

Does this product help with lactose intolerance?

Each tablet includes lactase, an enzyme that helps break down lactose, the sugar found in dairy foods, alongside enzymes for protein, fat, starch and fibre. This product is formulated as a general digestive enzyme blend rather than a dedicated lactose-support product. If managing lactose intolerance is your main reason for buying an enzyme supplement, ask a pharmacist whether a product formulated specifically for that purpose would be more suitable.

Can children take this product?

Yes. The manufacturer's suggested use states this product is suitable for adults and children aged 4 years and over, given as 1 chewable tablet with each meal, up to 3 times a day. As with any food supplement, speak to a pharmacist first if your child takes other medicines or has an ongoing health condition.

Can I take this if I'm pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication?
