Digestive Enzymes

Compare every Digestive Enzymes product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.

We rank Digestive Enzymes by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Digestive enzymes are a blend of proteins that act as biological catalysts, which means they speed up the chemical reactions needed to break down food. They specifically target the three main macronutrients: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Why it's used

These supplements are used to help the body split large food molecules into smaller pieces that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. This process is often used to support overall digestion and reduce discomfort associated with the breakdown of nutrients.

How it's made

To create these supplements, companies typically source enzymes produced by microorganisms like fungi or bacteria through a process called fermentation. These enzymes are then extracted, purified, and blended into a powder which is then packed into capsules or tablets.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the cost of producing a wide variety of different enzymes through fermentation is more complex than sourcing a single basic mineral, but there is enough global supply to keep it from being a luxury item.
