Understanding Multi-Enzymes and Their Role in Digestion
Digestion relies on a variety of enzymes to break down food into absorbable nutrients. NOW Foods Super Enzymes provides a comprehensive blend of digestive enzymes and cofactors designed to support the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The formula includes protease, lipase, amylase, cellulase, lactase, plus specialised ingredients like bromelain, papain, ox bile, and pancreatin. Together, these work synergistically to enhance digestion from the stomach through the small intestine.
-
Protease – breaks down proteins into amino acids
-
Lipase – digests fats into fatty acids and glycerol
-
Amylase – converts carbohydrates into simple sugars
-
Cellulase – helps break down fibre from plant foods
-
Lactase – supports digestion of dairy products
Who Might Benefit from a Multi-Enzyme Supplement?
Natural enzyme production can decline with age, stress, or certain health conditions. A multi-enzyme supplement may be helpful for:
-
Individuals with occasional bloating or gas after meals
-
Those who consume large, heavy meals or diets high in fat or protein
-
People with mild lactose or gluten sensitivities (lactase and DPP-IV activities assist)
-
Travelers adapting to new cuisines
-
Older adults experiencing age-related enzyme decline

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take Super Enzymes on an empty stomach?
It is best taken with food, as the enzymes are designed to work alongside a meal. Taking on an empty stomach may cause stomach upset.
Are these capsules vegetarian?
NOW Super Enzymes capsules are made from bovine gelatine and are not suitable for vegetarians. For a vegetarian option, consider NOW Super Enzymes with plant-based capsules.
How long does one bottle last?
Each bottle contains 180 capsules, and the recommended serving is one capsule per meal. If you take three meals per day, one bottle provides a 60-day supply. This pack of 2 offers a total of 360 capsules.
Can I take this with probiotics?
Yes, enzymes and probiotics work well together. Enzymes help break down food, while probiotics support gut flora balance. Taking them at separate times (enzymes with meals, probiotics on an empty stomach) is fine.
