The Promise
Your food is only as good
as what you absorb.
Cooking, processing, and pasteurization destroy naturally occurring food enzymes — leaving your body’s limited reserve to do all the work alone. This formula restores what the modern food supply removed.
Broad-pH Activity
Plant-derived enzymes are active across the full digestive tract — from the acidic stomach to the alkaline small intestine. Animal-sourced pancreatin only works in a narrow pH window.
Full-Spectrum Coverage
Five enzyme classes in a single serving: Protease for protein, Amylase for carbohydrates, Lipase for fats, Cellulase for plant fiber, and Lactase for dairy.
100% Plant-Based
Every enzyme is derived from plant sources — no animal pancreatin, no artificial coatings, no unnecessary additives. Clean from capsule to enzyme.
Works With Every Meal
Digestive enzymes work acutely — one serving per meal ensures complete breakdown of proteins, carbs, fats, and fiber before undigested food reaches the colon.
Why it Works
What enzymes actually do for you.
01
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption
By breaking macronutrients into their smallest absorbable units, digestive enzymes ensure vitamins, minerals, and amino acids actually reach your cells — not just pass through.
02
Reduced Bloating & Gas
Undigested carbohydrates and proteins ferment in the colon, generating gas and bloating. Enzymes prevent this by completing digestion before residues reach fermentation zones.
03
Immune System Support
The gut houses 70% of your immune system. Efficient digestion reduces the antigenic load on intestinal tissue, supporting a balanced and measured immune response.
04
Sustained Energy & Clarity
Poor digestion is a hidden driver of the afternoon slump. Complete breakdown of food means more usable fuel and less energy spent compensating for undigested residue.

YOUR PROTOCOL
Make enzymes part of
every meal you eat
Unlike most supplements, digestive enzymes deliver their benefit immediately — right when you eat. Hover each card to understand why it works.
AT MEALTIME
Take 1–3 capsules at the start of each meal. Enzymes must be present when food enters the digestive tract to break it down efficiently — not after the fact.
WHY IT WORKS
Enzyme activity peaks in the first 30–60 minutes after ingestion, coinciding with the mechanical breakdown phase of digestion in the stomach and duodenum.
LARGER MEALS
For meals heavy in protein, fat, or dairy, use the full 3-capsule serving. A higher macronutrient load demands a higher enzyme concentration to achieve complete digestion.
WHY IT WORKS
Protein and fat digestion require higher enzyme concentrations than simple carbohydrates. Scaling dose to meal composition optimizes absorption and reduces fermentable residue.*
DAILY USE
Unlike probiotics, digestive enzymes work acutely — not cumulatively. Taking them consistently with every meal ensures that no meal goes only partially digested.
WHY IT WORKS
Natural enzyme production declines with age and processed food consumption. Daily supplementation closes the gap between demand and your body's available supply.*
HOW TO TAKE IT
Simple. Effective. With every meal.
One to three capsules at the start of each meal. That's the entire protocol — no stacking, no timing complexity.
Full-Spectrum Formula
What's inside,
and why it matters.
Protein Digestion · Amino Acid Release
A protein-digesting enzyme that cleaves peptide bonds, breaking large protein chains into individual amino acids. Active across a broad pH range — supporting protein digestion in both the stomach and small intestine.*
Plant-Derived · Broad-pH
Plant-derived enzyme complex · five enzyme classes per capsule. View Supplement Facts →
Carb Digestion · Digestive Comfort
Breaks down complex carbohydrates — starches, glycogen, and polysaccharides — into simple sugars that can be absorbed by the intestinal lining. Reduces the fermentable substrate that feeds gas-producing bacteria.*
Plant-Derived · Carbohydrate-Specific
Plant-derived enzyme complex · five enzyme classes per capsule. View Supplement Facts →
Fat Digestion · Fatty Acid Absorption
The primary fat-digesting enzyme. Breaks down dietary triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides for absorption. Adequate lipase supports comfortable digestion of fat-rich meals.*
Plant-Derived · Fat-Specific
Plant-derived enzyme complex · five enzyme classes per capsule. View Supplement Facts →
Fiber Digestion · Digestive Comfort
Humans lack the endogenous ability to digest plant fiber (cellulose). Cellulase breaks down cell walls of plant foods, releasing bound nutrients and reducing the fermentable fiber load that can contribute to digestive discomfort.*
Plant-Derived · Fiber-Active
Plant-derived enzyme complex · five enzyme classes per capsule. View Supplement Facts →
Dairy Digestion · Lactose Breakdown
Breaks down lactose — the sugar found in dairy — into glucose and galactose, supporting comfortable digestion of milk and dairy foods for those with reduced natural lactase activity.*
Plant-Derived · Dairy-Specific
Plant-derived enzyme complex · five enzyme classes per capsule. View Supplement Facts →

Founder & Chief Curator · Est. 1999Why It Matters
Built by someone with
personal stakes in it.
Devin started Pure Prescriptions in 1999 after battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma and losing his father to leukemia. That experience made him the most stubborn kind of formulator — one who refuses to ship anything he wouldn't take himself.
Every ingredient here earned its place through clinical evidence, third-party testing, and that same personal lens — the five collagen types, the organic fruiting-body mushrooms, the co-factors. Nothing is decorative.
"Pure Prescriptions has always been more personal than corporate. Built by family. Still independent."
Our Story
The Science
Enzyme insufficiency is
more common than you think.
Several factors reduce your body’s natural enzyme production: aging, stress, processed food, and certain medications. The result is enzyme insufficiency — food that isn’t fully broken down before reaching the colon, where it can ferment and contribute to occasional gas, bloating, and reduced nutrient absorption.*
Digestive Enzymes restores what the body needs — active across the full pH spectrum from stomach acid to intestinal alkalinity.*
Common Questions
Frequently asked
questions.
Most enzyme supplements are sourced from animal pancreatin and are only active in the narrow pH range of the small intestine. Our plant-derived blend is active across the broad pH spectrum of the full digestive tract — stomach, duodenum, and small intestine.
Take 1 or more capsules at mealtime or as recommended by a qualified healthcare professional. Enzymes must be present when food enters the digestive tract to break it down efficiently.
Yes. Digestive enzymes and probiotics work synergistically: enzymes improve the completeness of digestion, reducing undigested food that would otherwise disrupt the microbiome environment the probiotics need to thrive.
Yes. Plant-derived digestive enzymes have an excellent safety profile. Unlike some medications, they do not cause dependency or reduce your body’s own enzyme production.
Yes. Each serving contains lactase, the enzyme specifically responsible for breaking down lactose (dairy sugar). Taking this before dairy-containing meals can significantly reduce or eliminate lactose intolerance symptoms.
Digestive Enzymes uses a vegetable capsule and the Woo label lists rice flour to fill capsule requirement. The capture describes the formula as free of gluten, dairy, soy, and artificial additives.
