How to Choose a Digestive Enzyme Supplement

Quick Answer

Choose a digestive enzyme supplement based on your diet (vegan or not), the specific enzymes you need, and whether you want a broad-spectrum or targeted formula.

Your Decision Rules for Choosing

• Check Your Diet: If you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, choose a supplement that explicitly states it uses non-animal enzymes, like Solgar Vegan Digestive Enzymes.
• Identify Your Digestive Needs: For general support after meals, a multi-enzyme blend (e.g., Advanced Multi-Enzyme Complex) covers proteins, fats, and carbs. For specific issues like bloating after beans, look for alpha-galactosidase.
• Consider Form and Dosage: Tablets and capsules are common. Check the serving size—some products suggest 1–3 tablets per meal. Start with the lower end and adjust based on your response. Always follow the label instructions and consult a healthcare professional if you have a medical condition.
